Why would Hamas supporters Turkey and Qatar care about peace with Israel? They want Hamas to survive to fight another day !

Why would Hamas supporters Turkey and Qatar care about peace with Israel? (HD).

Turkey and Qatar have welcomed the 12-hour ceasefire in Gaza which aims to give Palestinians the chance to receive food and water supplies and allow hospitals to get medical supplies.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and his Qatari counterpart Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah issued a joint statement early on July 26 following the approval of the truce by the Gaza-based Palestinian movement, Hamas, and the Israeli government.

"We reiterate our will to break our back working for a negotiated and sustained ceasefire between the two parties with the UN, USA and our other international partners," the statement said.

The statement said the two countries also appreciated Hamas' immediate approval of the truce.

Meanwhile, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç has said it would be "fantasy" to talk about his country normalizing relations with Israel under the current conditions in Gaza.
"Normalization is difficult at this point and even impossible," Arınç said late July 25 in a televised interview. "If the Israeli government changes its mentality or something positive takes place regarding the Gaza Strip, Turkey would reconsider its stance on normalization with Tel Aviv," he continued.

Turkey has said that although Israel fulfilled two of the three conditions - an apology and compensation - which Turkey had set for the normalization of ties after the Mavi Marmara incident, it remained unwilling to fulfill the third condition of lifting its embargo on Gaza.


Hmmm....lets call a spade a spade none of this trio cares a damn about Jewish lives! They want Hamas to survive to fight another day.

The fact that Qatar and Turkish FMs where included here is an affront to diplomacy. Both countries are Hamas backers. pic.twitter.com/CDEam4S2si

These counties are part of the problem. Now trying to take credit for being part of the solution. This is a foreign policy #fail.
