Gaza premier Ismail Haneyya has said that the blood of martyrs aboard the Turkish aid ship Mavi Marmara had changed the conditions of the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.

He said during the reception for a Turkish delegation on Sunday that the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara and the Turkish nationals who fell as a result, led to positive changes in the saga of the siege.

Haneyya praised the Turkish position toward the Palestine cause, especially in recent years, and lauded Turkish premier Recep Erdogan for his “great stands” toward the Palestinian people on various platforms.

The Premier hailed Turkish aid in the field of education in Gaza, pointing to the building of a teaching hospital affiliated with the Islamic University in Gaza.

For his part, the head of the Turkish delegation, the Deputy Chairman of the Turkish Council for Higher Education, said that his country would always remain supportive of the Palestinian people.
