Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan has written an open letter to former U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, urging her to extend the compassion she previously showed for Ukrainian children to the children in Gaza. Emine Erdogan referenced Melania Trump's past letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning Ukraine's orphans and described the situation in Gaza as "a graveyard for children," calling it the most painful genocide of our time. The appeal highlights a call for Melania Trump to advocate for hope and support for the children affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This diplomatic gesture follows a pattern of engagement among first ladies, as seen in other recent interactions such as the Japanese Prime Minister's wife's cultural exchange with the U.S. First Lady and Melania Trump's diplomatic outreach to Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska.
