In shocking scenes, a Turkish lawmaker suffered a heart attack and collapsed suddenly during an anti-Israel speech.
Turkish parliamentarian Hasan Bitmez collapsed while giving an address before the nation’s General Assembly Hall in Ankara.
Ironically, Bitmez suffered a heart attack and collapsed within seconds of declaring that “Israel will suffer the wrath of Allah.”
Bitmez was calling on his fellow lawmakers to back the Islamic terrorist group Hamas when he collapsed, according to a report from the Yeshiva World.
During his speech on the assembly floor, Bitmez said: “We can perhaps hide from our conscience but not from history.”
Then he warned, “Israel will suffer the wrath of Allah.”
Within a few seconds, he collapsed to the floor as people rushed the state to help him.

According to Turkish media reports, Bitmez underwent CPR on the scene.
He was then rushed to a hospital, where he was reported to be in critical condition.
According to the Daily Mail, Hasan is 53.
“In that moment, he stumbled and dropped to his knees before lying flat on his back,” the report notes.
“The Saadet Party Kocaeli deputy had to be stretchered out of the hall after receiving chest compressions ‘for a long time’, Turkish media reports.
“Turhan Çömez, a deputy from the Kemalist İYİ Party and a trained doctor, was reportedly the first to help his political rival.”
Turkey’s health minister, Fahrettin Koca, later revealed Bitmez was undergoing treatment in the ICU.
He was only elected just a few months ago.
Turkey and Israel reached an accord on relations in 2022.
However, the deal has been rocked ever since Hamas terrorists launched brutal attacks against Israeli citizens on October 7.
The assault has killed some 1,400.
Turkey’s population is about 99% Muslim.
