Turkey’s far-right government has hosted Hamas leaders twice this year – and backed claims that “Jerusalem is ours” and that it will “liberate” al-Aqsa Mosque from Israel control – but now it wants to use Israel to escape its isolation from Washington.
That appears to be the message that has come out of a new report: that Turkey’s “national intelligence service has been holding secret talks with Israeli officials,” according to Al-Monitor.
On the one hand, the same Turkish officials have vowed to work groups like Hamas and bash Israel at every opportunity, with key figures comparing Israel to the Nazis, and echoing Iran regime rhetoric about Israel. But the Al-Monitor piece claims that Turkey wants to “normalize” relations with Israel. This is the same Ankara regime that threatened to break off relations with Gulf states over normalizing relations.
What changed?
Ankara has been isolated from Washington in recent months. While Turkey was able to control the Trump administration’s foreign policy on Syria and in other areas for years through a carefully orchestrated lobby in Washington, it lost influence as it continued to bash Israel, buy Russia’s S-400 air defense system and threaten the US and its allies.
In 2017, during a Turkish presidential visit to Washington, Turkish security attacked peaceful American protesters. Then Ankara held an American pastor hostage. It harassed US soldiers at airports, and imprisoned a US consular worker. Nevertheless, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan enjoyed a direct line to US President Donald Trump, often berating the US president and ordering him to leave Syria. This led to chaos in Syria and ethnic cleansing between 2018 and 2019. READ MORE https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/turkeys-hamas-supporting-regime-is-seeking-to-use-israel-again-analysis-650784
