The United States has threatened to isolate Turkey, strongly objecting to Turkish President Recep Tayyab Erdogan's meeting with two Hamas leaders, saying such actions would harm the interests of the Palestinian people.
A statement from US State Department spokesman Morgan Ortagas said that the United States had strongly objected to Turkish President Recep Tayyab Erdogan's hosting of two Hamas leaders in Istanbul on August 22. The two officials who met Tayyab Erdogan have been declared a global terrorist organization.
The State Department said in a statement that the US Rewards for Justice program was collecting information on the involvement of one of the individuals in a number of terrorist attacks, hijackings and kidnappings. Turkey is isolated from the international community and is detrimental to the interests of the Palestinian people and will hamper global efforts to stop terrorist attacks from Gaza. Remember the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post. Two days ago, it reported that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh had met with President Recep Tayyab Erdogan in Istanbul.
