01.01.2025 ⇢ The Day Galata Bridge Called Gaza
⌨

New Year's celebrations mixed with protests as hundreds of thousands gathered at Galata Bridge for a Gaza solidarity march, with former Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and Bilal Erdogan making appearances. The Bosphorus was closed to maritime traffic for the demonstration.

By midday, attention shifted to two violent incidents: an armed attack on a church in Istanbul and a mass shooting in Montenegro that killed seven people, including two children. The Foreign Ministry issued statements on both events, while also responding to the New Year's attack in New Orleans that killed 10 people.

Evening developments centered on a bomb attack at a tea house in Küçükçekmece, while economic news revealed the cancellation of currency-protected deposit support. The Interior Ministry reported 44 arrests from New Year's security operations, with 113 vehicles banned from traffic.
