"Gaza and Beyond" Program Held at IIKV

The program titled “Gaza and Beyond: Regional Realignment and the Power of Unified Da’wah,” organized by The Eventive and hosted by the Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture (IIKV), was held in Istanbul with intense participation.

Sami Hamdi, Managing Director of International Interest, and academic and author Dr. Samah Jabr took part as speakers in the program. During the event, Gaza-centered developments, the regional realignment process, and the importance of carrying out Islamic da’wah in unity on a global scale were discussed.

The speakers drew attention to the global rather than just regional effects of the humanitarian drama in Gaza, emphasizing the necessity of a common stance in the fields of ideas, discourse, and solidarity. The program offered participants the opportunity to evaluate current political developments from an academic and humanitarian perspective.

The event, held at the headquarters of the Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture in Kalenderhane, was conducted free of charge. It was stated that all proceeds obtained within the scope of the program would be donated to Gaza.

The event, which was followed with great interest, ended with a Q&A session.
