Hamas: Turkey Dropped Condition that Israel Lift Gaza Siege before Normalization
(Jerusalem Post) Maayan Groisman - Hamas officials told the London-based Arab daily Rai al-Youm that Turkey has renounced the condition that Israel lift the siege on Gaza as a prerequisite for Israeli-Turkish reconciliation. Turkish President "Erdogan told the [Hamas] leadership that he must make progress on the normalization deal with Israel in order to serve Turkey's interests." The officials also said they expect Turkey to take strong measures against senior Hamas officials residing in Turkey by limiting their freedom of movement in order to meet Israel's condition for normalization.
