Quick Glance: Turkey Should Not Provide Sanctuary to Hamas
- The images of the meeting between the Turkish President and the Hamas leader in Istanbul are causing unease. Supporting the terrorist organization is problematic. The Islamists are no longer suitable as negotiating partners for resolving the Middle East conflict.
- Recep Tayyip Erdogan received Hamas leader Ismail Haniya with a certain statesmanship and drew parallels between Hamas and Turkish insurgents. Turkey adamantly refuses to categorize Hamas as a terrorist organization.
- Speculations are arising about a potential relocation of Hamas leaders from Qatar to Turkey. Qatar is under pressure due to its closeness to Islamists. Turkey could be an appealing choice for Hamas.
- Moving the Hamas headquarters to Turkey would be a provocation towards Israel and its allies. Hamas has discredited itself as a reliable negotiating partner. A political resolution of the Middle East conflict should exclude the involvement of Hamas.
