We are friends with Israel and we are friends with the Israeli people. We have always loved our Jewish brothers and sisters; we loved them in the time of the Ottomans, we loved them in the time of our Prophet (saas) as well. We've always shown them compassion and no one would or could ever do anything contrary.

Israel will enjoy utmost freedom in the region. The lands of Israel belongs to the Israeli people according to the Qur'an, God says this. Israeli people will live on that land and they will die on that land. That is the command of the Qur'an.

There is always a bond of friendship in between Israel and Turkey; there is no need to worry about that. 30-40 politicians might be at odds with Israel about certain issues but Turkey has a population of almost 80 million. We have millions of Jewish brothers in Israel and they all love each other.

It would not be right to doubt whether any harm has come to the love in between Israel and Turkey. We love one another; we have always loved, we will always love each other but political disagreements might occur now and then. Attributing this to an entire nation, to the entire Israeli nation, entire Turkish nation would really be very wrong.

There are a handful of Jewish people in Israel. These people are being oppressed all around the world, they are unwanted. There is an animosity against them. We would not consent to such persecution. Let us protect and watch over them just like our Ottoman ancestors did.

Israel will be one of the most important friends of the Islamic Union. The Children of Israel, Jacob are decent people praised in the Qur'an. The Children of Israel will remain in that region.

I would not let anyone say anything against the Jews. I will not let anyone say anything against Israel. But if there is anything abnormal, if something inhumane takes place I would intervene. Being Jewish means being compassionate, being Jewish means being merciful, being lenient; it means being loving, forgiving, it means being good mannered. Being Jewish means fearing God.

Israel and Turkey are bosom friends, they are brothers. Israel will be one of the important friends of the Islamic Union. Offensive attitudes should mutually be avoided between Israel and Turkey.

Iran can never ever attack Israel; they are simply trying to collect points in their own way.

When Mahdi (pbuh) finds the Holy Ark, the religious people of Israel will link arms and celebrate it.

Israel and Turkey are friends. They are the sons of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), the sons of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). And we love them dearly and embrace them compassionately.

There are two key countries; Armenia and Israel. These are two beauties that should definitely take place within the Turkish Islamic Union. They both were our children in the time of Ottomans; both Armenians and Jews. We will protect and watch over them just like we did back then insha’Allah.

Israel is living in the middle of a sea of hatred, in the middle of hell right now. That is why they need to avoid doing anything that would incite hatred.

They want to wipe the people of Israel off the face of this world; we will not let that happen. I would not let them annihilate the children of the Prophet Israel (pbuh). In the Qur'an God mentions the people of Israel in hundreds of verses.

Israel should keep away from such low-down businesses. They should always be kind-hearted and compassionate. They should always behave peacefully and refrain from shedding blood. They should set an example for the region with their love and composure. God will protect them then.

The majority of the armies are organized against their own people in the Middle East, they are organized to make havoc of Muslims. Look at Syria, look at Egypt; they both are afraid from Israel yet they act like bullies when it comes to their own people.

Devout Jews should be supported so that the irreligiousness in the region can step back.

In many countries people are acting hostile towards Israel just to look nice to radicals.

Egypt should approach Jews with love and be friends with Israel. However the Orthodox Muslims in the country should be able to live comfortably as well. I mean showing compassion and respect to people from all faiths should be basis.

It is important to give honest information about everything and approach everything honestly. I mean blind hostility towards Israel is foolishness, it is stupidity. If there really is something abnormal, you can respond to it with laws and the legal system, but there is no reasonable explanation for a policy of hatred. This insane hatred towards Israel is not reasonable.

Showing compassion to both Israel and Palestine, to the good people of Palestine and the good people of Israel, to the compassionate people of those lands; showing affection to them, behaving warmly to them is a necessity of the morality of Islam. Pushing one aside and putting forth the other would be unbecoming for a Muslim.

Supporting Israel is a necessity of the moral values of the Qur'an. That is because, according to the Qur'an, Israel will be living there. The verses explicitly state that those lands are their homeland.

Ikhwan should make up with Israel. They should support religious Jews and Christians in Israel. Our Prophet (saas) used to show compassion to Jews. Showing compassion to Israel is a necessity of the morality of the Qur'an.

The thousands of years old historical door in Israel that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be passing by is kept closed. That door will be opened for the first time in history when Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), Shiloh, that is the King Messiah, appears.

Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Israel will all unite as brothers in our time. A great Islamic Union, a great Islamic Unity will be formed. The characteristic of this union will be that it will be based on an intense love, friendship and good intentions.
