'For the moment, the only good that can come out of a meeting between Erdogan and Netanyahu, would be for Erdogan to think long and hard about what Turkey’s position in the region can and will be.' -SinanCiddi
What could possibly go right, or wrong, in a meeting between Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu? Recent reporting suggests that the two may soon meet in Ankara. It is no secret that the two aren’t exactly best friends, given the amount of animosity that typifies the Israeli-Turkish bilateral relationship.
The first of these popped up before Turkey’s May 28 presidential runoff election, and the second in late June, following Israeli security operations in Jenin. Other than Daily Sabah’s"reporting," there was no other source to corroborate the story and no word from the Israeli government confirming or denying it. In the absence of verification, the veracity of both stories can and should be questioned and are likely part of an ongoing attempt to undermine Israel.
Let’s assume that Netanyahu can overlook these developments and accept going to Ankara. There remains a huge elephant in the room: The continued and welcome existence of Hamas operatives and leadership on Turkish soil. In recent years, the Turkish government has not only refused to designate Hamas as a terrorist entity but even provided Turkish passports to its leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh and members of his family.
