Hamas has remained silent about the possibility of a rapprochement between Israel and Turkey, but within the movement, mixed views remain.
“[Hamas] does not want to interfere in the Internal affairs of an ally country like Turkey,” a Hamas official told Al-Monitor. This official was slightly more optimistic than some of his peers, expressing hope that a possible Turkish-Israeli rapprochement would lift the blockade on Gaza and reduce the restrictions imposed on the entry of supplies. Hamas is largely confident it will not be the victim of any rapprochement between Turkey and Israel, and that Israel will not be able to impose a rupture of links with Hamas on Turkey.
