Turkey’s First Lady, Emine Erdoğan, has called on former U.S. First Lady Melania Trump to lend her voice in drawing international attention to the plight of children in Gaza. Erdoğan made the appeal during a humanitarian forum in Ankara, where she stressed the urgent need for influential figures across the globe to advocate for peace and the protection of vulnerable populations in conflict zones.
She highlighted the devastating impact of ongoing hostilities on Palestinian children, many of whom face food shortages, displacement, and lack of access to education and healthcare. According to her, moral responsibility requires global leaders and their spouses to rise above politics and stand for humanity, especially when the lives of children are at stake.
Erdoğan underscored that while governments and international organizations are working to provide aid, the voices of well-known figures such as Melania Trump could amplify awareness and help pressurize world powers into taking decisive action. She described Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as one that requires both political will and global solidarity.
Observers note that Turkey has consistently positioned itself as a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights, with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan often challenging Western nations to adopt a more balanced approach to the Middle East conflict. The First Lady’s outreach to Melania Trump, seen as symbolic, is also an attempt to broaden the conversation beyond political corridors into global humanitarian advocacy.
