Erdogan's double game: secret meeting for Hamas - but trade with Israel. Erdogan has even warned Israeli intelligence against taking action against Hamas officials in Turkey.
Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but a liberation organization that defends its people and country. The last time there was a secret meeting of the Hamas leadership in Turkey was in December. The AKP government's close ties to Hamas are a major concern for the opposition. “Turkey is a country that can speak very openly and clearly with the leaders of Hamas and stands firmly behind them,” Erdogan said at a conference of the Erdoğan “İlim Yayma Vakfı” Foundation.
