ANKARA(Palestine Foundation Information Center)Head of Hamas’s Political Bureau Ismail Haneyya on Thursday afternoon telephoned Temel Karamuloğlu, head of the Turkish Saadet Party, and offered his condolences on the death of lawmaker Hasan Bitmez, vice president of the party.
Haneyya mourned Bitmez and expressed his grief over his passing away while advocating the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip and Occupied Jerusalem. He appreciated his supportive efforts and role in the party and in Turkiye.
The Hamas leader prayed to Almighty Allah to have mercy on Bitmez’s soul, to place him in spacious Paradise, and to grant his family and relatives patience, solace, and good condolences.
Earlier on Thursday, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced the death of Hasan Bitmez, a lawmaker of the Turkish Parliament from the Islamic Saadet Party, who suffered a heart attack a few days ago.
Bitmez was giving a speech in the Turkish Parliament about Israel’s crimes in Palestine on Tuesday when he collapsed. His last words before he collapsed were: “Israel is a terrorist and a murderous state. Even if the negligent ones are able today to justify their position (on the Israeli war on Gaza Strip), they will not escape from Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”
