Hamas is simply a free nation group, says Erdogan

“Hamas is not a terrorist organization, it is simply a national free party,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, which shocked the world's public and free planet leaders. Italian Deputy Prime Minister, controversial right-wing politician, Matteo Salvini stated that Erdogan's words were "terrible and disgusting," he added that specified rhetoric hinders the deescalation of the conflict.

Reuter's agency points out that Erdogan was just stressing that he sees Hamas as a nation's free group that fights for its lands and its people.

Hamas leader was in Istanbul

A fewer days ago, the Al-Monitor service stated that Turkey was limiting contacts with Hamas, even asking to leave the country by leaders of this organization in order to strengthen its chances of mediation in the conflict in the Gaza Strip. Let us remind you that Ismail Hanije, head of Hamas' political office, was in Istanbul erstwhile Hamas broke into Israel, but Turkey decided that Hanije had to leave the country.

So he left Turkey with his trusted people, due to the fact that Turkey does not want to be seen as a country that protects Hamas fighters after killing a group of Israeli civilians.

Erdogan wants to be a mediator?

Although Turkish society is powerfully pro-Palestinian, and the president of this country does not condemn Hamas terrorists, there is simply a claim in public space that he called for the removal of members of this Palestinian extremist organization from his country due to the fact that he has the ambition to be a mediator in Israel's conflict with Hamas.

Hypocrisy of the president of Turkey

Turkey is an crucial player in geopolitics, an influential NATO member. In addition, let us callback Erdogan's message from July this year:

– How could Turkey trust a country where terrorists do what they want? How can a nation that is incapable to distance itself from terrorism aid NATO? – asked rhetorically the Turkish leader (quote from newspaperprewna.pl).

Stockholm was then heavy criticized by Ankara due to the fact that in Sweden, according to the Turkish authorities, anti-Turkish terrorist organizations, specified as the Kurdistan Workers' organization (PKK), could number on considerable support. However, it is hypocritical that the de facto identifying with Hamas Erdogan a fewer months ago was so decisive in this case.

Erdogan’s firm words

– Even if the planet must pay its debt to Israel, Turkey owes it nothing. Hamas is not a terrorist organization, it is simply a free nation group, “Mujahedini” are fighting to defend their territory and people," said Erdogan, whom Reuters quotes.

– Those who aid Israel in an unlimited way are liable for the tragedy in Gaza. Israel's assault on Gaza, both in this country and in those who support it, means signs of intellectual illness," he commented.

Well, it's surely not the rhetoric of a skillful mediator. So far Erdogan antagonizes and can alienate the Israeli side of the conflict that the full planet lives, looking with concern at the death of another God's spirit of guilty civilians.
