HÜDA PAR Deputy Chairman and Mersin Member of Parliament Faruk Dinç has returned to Türkiye following his attempted participation in the Global Gaza March, a peaceful international protest intended to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The march, organized by human rights activists and solidarity groups from around the world, was abruptly suppressed by Egyptian authorities before reaching its destination—the Rafah Border Gate.

Dinç was welcomed at Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport by HÜDA PAR senior officials, including Deputy Chairmen Şahzade Demir, Yunus Emiroğlu, and Hamdin Aslan, along with members of his family and a delegation of supporters. Visibly emotional and bearing signs of physical injury, the MP was received as a symbol of resistance and determination in the face of regional complicity and international silence.

In statements delivered shortly after his arrival, Dinç spoke with clarity and conviction, reaffirming his commitment to the Palestinian cause and to the liberation of Al-Quds (Jerusalem). “We went to Egypt with one purpose—to raise our voices for Gaza, to stand for justice, and to support our Palestinian brothers and sisters who are being massacred under Israeli bombs. We will not be silent. We will sacrifice our lives and property for Jerusalem if necessary.”

His words reflected not only personal conviction but the broader ideological stance of HÜDA PAR, a party known for its unwavering advocacy of Palestine and its opposition to Zionism.

The Global Gaza March was conceived as a symbolic act of resistance and unity, bringing together individuals of various faiths, nationalities, and ethnic backgrounds in a collective cry for justice. Activists planned to walk approximately 50 kilometers from the city of Arish to the Rafah crossing—the only lifeline to Gaza not directly controlled by the Zionist regime.

According to Dinç, the event represented a powerful "movement of conscience," aimed at breaking the silence surrounding the genocide in Gaza, now in its 20th month. “The entire world has watched as the Zionist regime has targeted hospitals, schools, mosques, and refugee camps. Children playing in parks have been reduced to body parts. Women giving birth under rubble. Elderly shot while waiting for bread. This is not just a crime—it is a deliberate extermination of a people,” he said.

Dinç revealed that before even reaching Arish, their convoy was intercepted by Egyptian police approximately 60 kilometers from Ismailia. “They demanded our passports and held us for hours, without reason, without explanation. We were treated as if we were criminals simply for standing for humanity,” he recounted.

Despite being held back from joining the main march, Dinç and others sought to demonstrate peacefully in their location. “People from every continent, every belief, were there. We came in peace. And yet we were met with batons and brutality,” he stated.

Without provocation, Egyptian security forces launched a sudden and violent crackdown on the group. “There was no warning, no communication. Just sirens, tear gas, and riot gear,” Dinç said. “Many were beaten. I, too, was injured in the assault. But our message is clear—this violence will not break us. It will not silence the truth.”

Eyewitness accounts confirm that Egyptian authorities used excessive force to disperse the demonstrators, despite the peaceful nature of the gathering. Videos shared online show scenes of chaos as unarmed protesters attempted to shield each other while chanting for Gaza.

Dinç emphasized that the events in Egypt only strengthen his resolve. “This is bigger than one march. This is a global awakening. The Palestinian people are not alone. Their pain is our pain. Their struggle is our struggle. And no wall, no checkpoint, and no border can keep our voices from reaching them.”

He further urged civil society, particularly in the Islamic world, to take more forceful and coordinated action. “Where are the armies of the Muslim world? Where are the international institutions that claim to protect human rights? Enough statements. We need action.”

In his closing remarks, Dinç issued a direct call to Islamic nations, urging unity in the face of Zionist oppression. “This is no longer a Palestinian issue. This is an Ummah issue. An issue of all humanity. The martyrs of Gaza ask us: Will you remain spectators while we are exterminated?”

He condemned not only Israel’s military but also those governments that normalize relations with the Zionist regime while turning a blind eye to its atrocities. “Silence is complicity. And history will remember who stood with the oppressor and who stood with the oppressed.”

HÜDA PAR released a statement affirming that Faruk Dinç’s mission in Egypt is part of a broader campaign of global solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The party vowed to continue mobilizing politically and socially to expose Zionist crimes and hold their enablers accountable.

“The people of Gaza are not alone,” the statement read. “As long as there is injustice, there will be resistance. And as long as there are people of conscience, there will be hope.” (ILKHA)
