On Friday, August 29, 2025, in Istanbul, Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with a delegation of scholars participating

specialized workshops. He emphasized the necessity of unifying international

humanitarian and political challenges affecting the region.
President Erdoğan expressed a positive response to the
scholars’ proposals, emphasizing that Turkey continues to exert efforts to
support Palestine and to build an international coalition that upholds the just
rights of the Palestinian people.
In his remarks, Sheikh Muhammad Al-Hassan Al-Dadou,
Vice President of the Union, highlighted the humanitarian tragedy in Sudan,
calling on Turkey to intervene in support of the affected civilians, and also
raised the issue of political prisoners, notably Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi.
The International Union of Muslim Scholars considers
this meeting a starting point for a series of planned meetings with leaders of
Arab, Islamic, and international countries, as part of efforts to achieve
humanitarian justice and end the suffering in Gaza.
