Turkey's opposition lawmaker Hasan Bitmez died on Thursday (Dec 14), two days after he collapsed and suffered a heart attack in front of parliament after finishing his speech in which he criticised the policy of the government towards Israel.

54-year-old Bitmez, a member of parliament who was from the opposition Felicity (Saadet) Party, breathed his last in Ankara City Hospital, said Health Minister Fahrettin Koca, while speaking to reporters in televised remarks.

Bitmez had graduated from Cairo's Al Azhar University and was the chairman of the Centre for Islamic Union Research. Previously, he had worked for Islamic non-governmental organisations, as per his parliament biography. MP Bitmez was married and had a child.

In the official broadcast of the Parliament, Bitmez was seen collapsing to the floor after continuously standing at the podium, while facing the general assembly on Tuesday (Dec 12).

The MP has been criticising President Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AK Party (AKP) over the ongoing trade of Turkey with Israel even though the latter has been engaged in a war with Gaza, and sharp rhetorical criticism made by the Turkish government over the military bombardment of Israel.

"You allow ships to go to Israel and you shamelessly call it trade... You are Israel's accomplice," said Bitmez, in his speech. The statement was made by the leader after he placed a banner on the podium which read, "Murderer Israel; collaborator AKP".

'You have blood of Palestinians on your hands'

"You have the blood of Palestinians on your hands, you are collaborators. You contribute to every bomb Israel drops on Gaza," he said to lawmakers amid debate over the 2024 budget of the foreign ministry.

He died?

His hate for Israel killed him.

Despite the sins and all the evil America has committed and keeps committing, God still continues to bless them. The reason is because they work with the principle of God which says that 'i will bless those who bless Israel and will curse those who curse Israel". America is ready to defend Israel with her last blood and resources. We just saw an instant punishment for somebody who worked against that covenant. You may think it is fairytale, na you know oo, you can never fight God

Are your trying to say the God of Israel killed him?
