Ramazan Bayramımız mübarek olsun.
🚨BREAKING: UAE’s🇦🇪 Al Habtoor Group Founding Chairman Khalifa Ahmad Al Habtoor’s open letter addressing Lindsey Graham’s call for Gulf States to join the war on Iran:
I heard the statements of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, in which he calls on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to enter this war, saying that we are also under attack and that we must join the fight. And I say to him clearly: We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his "allies" in the region.
We thank God that the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries are doing well, and we have no need for someone who claims he came to the Middle East to save us. The truth is that hasty American decisions are what embroiled the region in a war whose peoples were not party to its decision-making, and its local allies were not consulted before it was launched.
We do not deny the Iranian threat to the region, which has become clear in recent days. We do not trust Iran. But this is a dirty game in which several powers clash at the expense of our region, with no honor in it and no transparency. In this scene, Iran, Israel, and the United States all move according to their own interests, not according to the interests of the peoples of the Middle Eastern Arab countries.
And for this reason, we say it clearly: We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions. We value the lives of our sons, and we do not treat their souls as "collateral damage" as some do. Nothing in this world is more precious than the lives of our sons, and no alliance with any country in the world is worth risking these lives. If President Donald Trump and Senator Graham are prepared to risk their country and the lives of Americans for Israel's interests, that is their choice. As for us, we will not do the same.
Senator Graham says they are "the Arabs' allies" and that we need and benefit from U.S. protection. And I say to him: We do not need your protection. All we want from you is to keep your hands off us.
He also says: "We sell you weapons." As if that were a service the United States provides us. The truth is that this is no favor from anyone. We invest in our security and pay billions of dollars for these weapons, and it is a massive trade and industry built on these deals. In fact, the United States itself is now turning to buy weapons from Ukraine to supply its allies in other wars. This is an industry that thrives on wars and arms sales, not a charitable endeavor.
And the clearest thing of all is what Senator Graham himself said when he spoke about oil. He stated that Iran and Venezuela together hold 31% of global oil reserves, and that the United States could establish a partnership with this share of the world's oil, and that it would be a "nightmare for China"—he even added that if the regime in Iran changes, there would be a "new Middle East," and the United States would "make a lot of money."
Only then does the picture become clear. And only then do we understand why they want this war.
Finally, I say to Senator Graham: You may be a senator in the U.S. Senate, but anyone who hears your statements might think you're a member of the Israeli Knesset, because you defend Israel's interests more than you defend the interests of the American people themselves.
The peoples of our region have the right to live in security and stability, far from others' wars. We also have the right to decide how to protect our interests and security, and to emerge from crises we did not create but which were imposed on us as a result of conflicts between powers vying for influence in this region.
We want peace and stability. We will not accept being forced down the path of war, nor will we accept being fuel for others' battles.
Bir cami inşa etmek nasip oldu. @samsun_univ Fahrettin Ulusoy Camii 30 Mayıs'ta açılıyor. Samimi bir çaba, eşsiz bir tecrübeydi. Pek çok şey öğrendik. Umulur ki, kullanıcısı da memnun olur ve dualardan bize de bir nasip düşer. @aadivleli@eminselcuktasar#melekkutludivleli
Ramazan Bayramı’nın gönüllerimize huzur, sofralarımıza bereket, dünyamıza ise barış getirmesi; Bayramın bizlere hatırlattığı paylaşma, hoşgörü ve merhamet duygularının tüm insanlığa umut olması; sevdiklerinizle sağlık, mutluluk ve huzur dolu bir bayram geçirmeniz dileğiyle..
Birlik ve beraberliğimizi pekiştiren Ramazan ayının; ülkemiz, İslam âlemi ve tüm insanlık için hayırlara vesile olmasını, sağlık, bereket ve huzur içinde geçmesini temenni ediyorum.
Ramazan-ı Şerif’imiz mübarek olsun.
Francesca is on point as usual.
Also, we need Western countries allied to Israel to stop reinforcing the Zionist belief that global opposition to Israel is related to the religious affiliation of the majority of Israelis, rather, it stems from distaste for the previous 75 years of military aggression and grave mistreatment of the native population whose land they now occupy.
Babamız Oktay Dortluoğlu’nun vefatı dolayısıyla dua eden, cenazesine katılarak üzüntümüzü paylaşan, telefonla ve mesajla taziyelerini ileten, yanımızda olan herkese teşekkür ediyorum.
Bugüne kadar vefat eden tüm yakınlarımıza Allah’tan rahmet diliyorum.
