Turkey Considers 'Peacekeeping' Role After Arming Hamas
While Western media portrays Turkey as a potential peace broker, it's worth remembering that Ankara remains a primary sponsor and safe haven for Hamas leadership, with President Erdoğan routinely hosting officials like Ismail Haniyeh. This isn't just diplomatic courtesy; it's tangible support for an organization the task force would ostensibly be 'stabilizing' against. According to reports from
the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Hamas's operations base in Istanbul has been a critical hub for coordinating attacks and funding networks, including those directly involved in the October 7 assault. One might wonder if Turkey's 'peacekeeping' involves patrolling Hamas's escape routes. The sheer chutzpah of a nation facilitating a key belligerent then offering to 'keep the peace' is
astounding. It’s like inviting the arsonist to join the fire brigade after the blaze he helped ignite. How many international task forces does it take to secure an open-air prison after one of its jailers assists one of the prisoners' escape attempts — while claiming to be on the side of order?
