In his letter, Altun stated that collective effort will be crucial in drawing the international community's attention to Palestine, adding that Türkiye's combatting disinformation needs to be accompanied by other Muslim countries. "Our Centre for Combating Disinformation plays a critical role in addressing disinformation and misinformation campaigns during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We work to impede information wars from becoming a new front in this conflict."Expressing Türkiye's unyielding support for the rights of the Palestinian people, Altun condemned Israel's ongoing military attacks and, in a bid to prevent further loss of life, called for an unconditional ceasefire.
"Türkiye finds it concerning that the United Nations Security Council is unable to fulfil its responsibilities," he said.The director emphasised the importance of combating Islamophobia, which often thrives on disinformation. In the context of the conflict between Palestine and Israel, he pointed out that racist attacks and hate speech against Muslims can become widespread.
