Erdogan appears his sympathizer with Gaza, neglecting his barbaric shelling on NE, Syria

The Turkish president and his authorities' officials continue to use the Palestinian cause to dissuade Arab and Islamic public opinion, after Ankara failed to play the role of mediation between Hamas and Israel, with Erdogan stating in his remarks that "Israel commits crimes against humanity in Gaza", while Turkey's Foreign Minister stated, most recently yesterday, that "barbaric Israeli attacks on Gaza are war crimes."

Erdogan and his authorities searched for a role

With the beginning of the escalation between Hamas and Israel, Turkey has put itself forward as a mediator. However, the warring parties were not interested in these offers, because of what the Israeli and Western circles described Turkey as an impartial and unreliable mediator. The decline in their support for Hamas during the period following the Turkish-Egyptian-Gulf reconciliation reflected Turkey.

As a result, the Turkish authorities are trying to balance attacking Israel with the aim of attracting Arab and Islamic public opinion and again influencing Hamas, presenting political initiatives to Israel and the West, and aspiring to play a role in what is being talked about regarding the formation of a regionally and internationally supported Gaza administration, where they put forward the so-called "guarantor formula" to be a guarantor of Hamas an agreement.

High statements that do not affect economic relations

Despite these statements, which many observers have described as resembling "crocodile tears", their officials continue to maintain diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, where their tankers sail at sea, loaded with crude oil, fuel and steel and docked at Israel's ports.

According to numerous reports, Ankara is increasing the volume of bilateral trade between the two countries to $15 billion. The number of Israeli tourists in Turkey also rose to more than 631 thousand, up five and a half times over the previous year.

In 2022, the Israeli Ministry of Transport said that Israel and Turkey would expand bilateral aviation traffic, under a new aviation agreement, their first since 1951.

One of the most prominent agreements between the parties in recent months has been the announcement of an agreement to transport Israeli gas through Turkish territory as an alternative to the "Eastmead" line through Greek and Cypriot territory, and Turkey has concluded agreements with Israel for joint gas exploration in the Mediterranean.

A criminal talking about stopping crimes!
