In the conditions of geopolitical tension in the Middle East, where Israel and Palestine are once again on the brink of war, the Turkish television industry is gearing up for the release of the historical series “Selahaddin Eyyubi, Conqueror of Jerusalem.”

The lead role in the series is played by Uğur Güneş, known for his role as a special forces fighter in the series “Red Flag.” In the new project, he will portray the role of Selahaddin, the great Muslim military commander who, in the 12th century, conquered Jerusalem from the Crusaders.

The series is set to premiere on TRT1 on November 13. The production of the project is handled by Akli Film, owned by Emre Konuk, renowned for his successful historical series.

According to Konuk, the series will focus not only on Selahaddin’s military victories but also on his spiritual qualities. He aims to showcase that the Muslim world’s hero was not only a great military leader but also a wise ruler who sought peace and justice.

The release of the series may have an impact on current political events. In the Muslim world, Selahaddin is considered a national hero. His story may inspire the population of the Middle East to take decisive actions.

In a recent interview, Uğur Güneş stated that he hopes the series will “remind the world of Selahaddin’s victories and his pursuit of peace.”

“I believe this is a very important project,” said the actor. “It can help people understand that peace and justice are possible, even in the most challenging conditions.”
