SAEDNEWS: Esra Erdoğan, the youngest daughter of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, posted a tribute on social media following the reported death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, praising his life and martyrdom in heartfelt terms.
According to Saed News, Esra Erdoğan, daughter of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has shared a public tribute to Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas political leader in Gaza who was reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike amid the latest escalation in the region. In a message posted to her official X (formerly Twitter) account, Esra expressed admiration for Sinwar’s life and death, invoking themes of devotion and resistance.
“Sinwar lived the way he wanted, and he achieved martyrdom the way he longed for,” she wrote. “Leader Yahya Sinwar was martyred in the beloved land of Palestine.”
Though brief, the message has drawn considerable attention across Turkish and Arabic media, with commentators noting the symbolic weight of Esra Erdoğan’s words. As the daughter of Turkey’s head of state, her statement—though not an official government position—reflects the deep personal and political resonance that the Palestinian cause holds within influential segments of Turkish society.
Yahya Sinwar, a prominent figure in the Palestinian resistance movement and long-time leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, was regarded by supporters as a steadfast figure in the confrontation with Israel. His reported death has sparked a wide range of reactions across the Middle East, from mourning to renewed political tension.
The tweet underscores how the Gaza conflict continues to ripple across regional politics, invoking emotional and ideological responses even from those outside the direct sphere of conflict.
