Leaders of Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi, UAE, Iran, all meeting with Rabbi's and Jewish delegations to appeal to global Jewry for financial and political security. What a clown leaders, may Allah destroy them all. We don't need to meet with any Jews. Jews have their own motives and perspectives which never will align with Islam.
Btw, what is 'alliance of Rabbis in Islamic states'? Is there such a thing?

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan late Wednesday drew attention to the thawing ties between Turkey and Israel during a meeting with representatives from the Jewish diaspora.
Erdoğan received members of the Jewish community in Turkey and the Alliance of Rabbis in the Islamic States (ARIS) at the Presidential Complex in the capital, Ankara. The Chief Rabbi of Turkey, Ishak Haleva, the Chief Rabbi of Russia, Berel Lazar, and other leading rabbinic authorities were among the participants.
Highlighting the importance of boosting the environment of peace and stability in the Middle East, Erdoğan said: "Turkey's greatest desire is a Middle East where societies from different religions, languages and ethnicities live together in peace."
Turkey's warnings to the Israeli government are to ensure that matters are approached via the perspective of long-term peace and stability in the Middle East, he added.
Meanwhile, touching on Turkish-Israeli ties, Erdoğan said that despite the differences of opinion on Palestine, "relations with Israel in the fields of economy, trade and tourism are progressing in their own way."
"Israel's sincere and constructive attitude in the context of peace efforts will undoubtedly contribute to the normalization process. Turkey-Israel relations are vital for the stability and security of our region," he added.
"The steps to be taken on the Palestinian issue, especially in Jerusalem, will contribute to the security and stability of not only the Palestinians but also Israel. In this regard, I attach great importance to our renewed dialogue with both Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett."
Turkey sees anti-Semitism as a crime against humanity, as much a crime as Islamophobia, the president also said."Just as we see Islamophobia as a crime against humanity, we also see anti-Semitism as a crime against humanity," said Erdoğan.
Reminding that Turkey was the co-host of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005 and co-presenter of the 2007 decision on the undeniability of the Holocaust, Erdoğan said: "I do not accept any approach that marginalizes people because of their faith or ethnic origin."
Additionally, "Turkish lands have also been a haven of peace for Jews who have been persecuted in different parts of the world throughout history," he said, adding Turkey embraced the Jews who fled the Inquisition in 1492.
Praising the contributions of Jewish citizens to the development, strengthening and achievement of the country's goals for centuries, he said: "We did not allow inhuman ideas such as racism, anti-Semitism, intolerance to other religions to find ground in these lands."
Also, "we need to be in solidarity in the fight against Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and xenophobia, especially in Western countries," he added.
In a tweet, Turkey's Jewish community also thanked the president for his efforts to improve ties with the faithful.
"We thank our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for accepting us and encouraging the Chachamim (an honorific title given to one well versed in Jewish law) of the Islamic states for a mutual future," the community said in a tweet on its official account. The representatives also gifted Erdoğan a Hanukkah menorah.
In late November, Erdoğan highlighted the importance of the fight against discrimination as he extended greetings to Turkey’s Jewish community in a statement issued to mark Hanukkah.
“We are taking all steps to ensure that we fulfill our historical responsibility to stand up against all types of discrimination, at a time when intolerance against different beliefs and identities are increasing across the world,” Erdoğan said.
Noting that Turkey has been home to many different cultures for thousands of years, Erdoğan said his administration sees it as a responsibility to stand up against discrimination based on religion, ethnicity and race, and to ensure that all citizens live freely and
to ensure that all citizens live freely and securely.
Members of the Jewish community in Turkey are mostly descendants of Sephardic Jews that took shelter in the Ottoman Empire after fleeing Spain centuries ago. Their numbers, mainly concentrated in Istanbul nowadays, dwindled due to a pogrom decades ago and migration to Israel. In 2015, the community publicly celebrated Hanukkah for the first time in decades in a ceremony held in Istanbul, where two synagogues were the target of terrorist attacks in 2003.

Turkish Jewish Community and the Alliance of Rabbis Islamic States held a meeting with Erdoğan
There is a remarkable detail in the photos, the name on Erdogan's left is Berl Lazar. If you know who this man is, you probably have understood why this detail attracted attention...

Turkey invites and welcomes the Jews that wholeheartedly support Zionism but Iran holds meetings with anti Israeli Jews.
That's the difference.
There is a point in the words of that Rabbi
Jewish/Islamic States. Keywords for the people that are already looking for the roots of ISIS and how it was created. Jewish Islamic states

Typical mullah mentality. The aim is not the content of the visit, but to instrumentalizing it by sloganist discourses. Making propaganda by generalizing events and concepts. Old fashioned enough.

The guest of honor of the meeting is Putin's most important Jewish/Judaic adviser. Putin is the most important regional factor that opened up space for Iran's expansionist policies in Syria. See the irony... If you examine the names on the visit one by one, you will see that there are also anti-Zionist Jews/Judaics among them. Of course, in order to understand this, it is necessary to know the religious dynamics within Israel and the political differences between Jewish societies.
Being anti-Zionist is not for us to deprive the Jews of their right to life. Turkish people advocates a solution within the framework of UN resolutions. Israel knows this, the Palestinians know it, and Hamas knows it very well. There is no confusion here, but it is about what we understand by anti-Zionism.
Beyond all these, the Jewish community in our country, especially the Sephardic Jews, has a common history with us, and we are never ashamed of it. On the contrary, we are proud to have this difference within us. Political conflicts and differences of opinion between states should not prevent inter-communal dialogue, cultural exchange and economic relations.
Without trying to understand the purpose and background of this visit, it is precisely mullah type populism style to create a connection with a bloody damned terrorist organization that massacred and even burned alive hundreds of Turkish citizens, by gathering a sloganist discourse.

Irani mullah seems stupid, they are sponsoring proxies against Israel, Palestine issue is political not religious, but Arabs colored it religious, Arabs want those land which they already sold for money in Balfour Declaration. Muslim's main holly palace is in Saudi, But Jews in Palestine. Palestine issue is between Arabs and Israel, but Irani mullah ruining and wasting Iran's muscles and interfering in other's issue....
On other hand Turkey recognized Israel and never revoked it and have love affair with Israel, but Sultan Erdogan every day showing he is true leader of Ummah and he claims, on every matter Israel is real reason, but he still loves Israel... Erdogan not only seems hypocrite but also seems stupid.

I am saying Iranis are interfering in Arab-Israel War by Irani Proxies, It is issue which political, not religious, but at least wild Arabs still have brains and they are resolving issues and recognizing Israel, examples UAE, Egypt, Jordan and etc. If full scale war broken, US and EU will jump in it. Iranis mullah are more stupid than even wild Arabs.
I am also saying its political issue, because Arabs have already sold Palestine soil via Balfour declaration. Palestine/Israel is Jews main holly place, while Muslim's main holly palace is Makkah. Jews were living in Arabs not only Palestine, but also in madina and other parts of Arabs, but Umar kicked the Jews out of Arab. So Jews right is more valid than Muslims, if you think neutral.

Diplomacy doesn't always works in black and white. I thought younas a Chinese will know that better . Does China not have good relations with Israel and Iran?
Only religious radicals who use their emotions instead of rationality will see it as white and black
You want to tell that to yourself in the thread regarding Putin’s statement on Islamophobia?

Lol That proves my point even more. I was just pointing out in that thread that Putin was again pondering to the religious emotions of some Muslims(they always fall for it. Lol). So that again proves my point . You just need to know how to play the double game sometimes. What you daybis not always what you do . There are often backdoor mechansim at play as well depending on the country's changing geopolitical interests. So it's no surprise Putin can now be considered a spokesman for Muslims, this is just a political/geo political move nothing else unlike some on that thread were thinking (eve praising Putin . Lol )
