In December, the funeral for Turkish parliament member Hasan Bitmez brought together opposition leaders at the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. Bitmez, a lawmaker with the conservative opposition Saadet Party, had died on December 14 from a heart attack sustained at the podium on the floor of Parliament as he wrapped up a fiery speech lambasting the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) for their dealings with Israel. “You have the blood of Palestinians on your hands, you are collaborators. You contribute to every bomb Israel drops on Gaza,” he said just before collapsing on the floor.
Delegation of ruling and opposition party lawmakers express concern over the rising trend in Islamophobia in the West as they seek solutions with NGOs in.
