Turkish PM hosts Hamas Leader for Iftar Party

[Bombay Dude]

Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has met Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to break the daily fast [Iftar] during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

According to Turkish TRT television, Erdogan hosted Mashaal and several other Hamas officials at his residence in Ankara on Tuesday evening.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and the head of Turkey's national intelligence agency, MIT, Hakan Fidan also attended the meeting, which lasted for more than three hours.

Details of the meeting remain unknown.

Turkish sources had earlier reported that Ankara has excluded Israel from a fast-breaking dinner organized by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Ankara for foreign ambassadors.


Ties between Turkey and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, have been developing in recent years especially after Ankara-Tel Aviv relations soured over a deadly Israeli attack on a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza in 2010, which left nine Turkish activists dead.

In January, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh also met with Erdogan at his Istanbul residence.

Considering the fact that PKK is supported by some external forces, government's being busy with other people's problems indirectly effects solutions to our problems.

You are the one who mentioned the word "Terrorist" here... Freudian slip.

Although the source is PressTV, i wouldn't be surprised. He is known to support terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon.
Anyone wanna give a Turkish source to this?

eyy listen he was probably being sarcastic , who are you for a TURK to be scared of your lobbies , iam starting to hate erdogan alot aswell but there is more people starting to hate israel , along with erdogan because both are trying to do undercover plans against our country , like you are supporting pkk terrorists , who kills civilians , you should stop this coward plans immideatly.

Jews in turkey are one of the best living in the country , with probably the most freedom in any other country with no racism or anything , which is even said by israeli diplomats and officials recently in an interview aswell , your deep plans wont work againsta militaristic nation like us .

Im not a kemalist but turkey can be islamist or anything but erdogan isnt islamist , hes using muslims to vote for him and his own agenda , making all his ministers super rich aswell. Islamist doesnt mean anti-jew , because every muslim dont want to kill jews.

Although you are banned, i'll still answer.

The Jews of Turkey have not been feeling safe for a while now, but it seems to have quieted down since there has been no new tensions between our countries.

And yes, Erdogan is using his own people for his own gains.
