Full Normalcy in Turkish-Israeli Relations Hinges on Restrictions on Hamas
(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - It appears as if Turkish-Israeli relations are returning to better days, but there remain fundamental questions about Turkey's ongoing support for Hamas. Israel has yet to receive clear assurances that Hamas will be restricted in its ability to operate on Turkish soil, from where it coordinates funding for attacks in Judea and Samaria. "Erdogan knows very well what he has to do to help the Israeli government - but also ordinary Israeli citizens - trust Turkey again. It will be a long process," said George Tzogopoulos, research fellow at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies.
