IHH President Bülent Yıldırım said they came to Incirlik to strengthen the country’s position at the negotiating table in order to stop the attacks on civilians in Gaza.

Yıldırım expressed the people’s great anger at what was happening in Gaza, stating, "Our anger is immense. Türkiye is doing its best. They are currently sitting at the negotiating table. There are protests taking place all over Europe and America. Hopefully, these protests will increase…we have delivered our message with the participation of tens of thousands of people from all over Türkiye, and America has seen and heard it."

Yıldırım maintained that they are carrying out efforts to send new humanitarian aid ships to Gaza. "The President will support the organization of aid shipments with the Navy, you will see. We are buying new ships with the permission of Allah. We will go together. Israel has been defeated, they couldn't even enter Gaza by more than 200 meters. Israel loses tanks every day, they are being taken captive, they are losing their soldiers. We are fulfilling our duty to ensure that aids reach Gaza."
