Turkey Talks Hamas, US Sends More Weapons and Sanctions
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Hamas officials in Istanbul, according to the Daily Sabah, discussing Gaza cease-fire possibilities. Meanwhile, the Biden administration, fresh off approving more military aid to Israel, continues its decades-long policy of treating one side as terrorists while funding the other's violence. The US Treasury just sanctioned individuals for allegedly
supporting Hamas, conveniently ignoring the humanitarian catastrophe that fuels resistance (Funny how 'state sponsors of terror' are only bad if they aren't 'allies'). One might wonder: how does a nation that funnels billions in military aid and vetoes ceasefire resolutions get to lecture others on who they can talk to for 'peace'? It’s the international equivalent of pouring accelerant on a fire
then chastising firefighters for negotiating with arsonists.
