[jpost] A senior Israeli official on Sunday warned that it would be a diplomatic mistake for Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to visit the Gazoo Strip as reports in the Turkish and Arab media suggested he was considering doing.The Qatar News Agency reported on Sunday that Erdogan will pay a two-day visit to Egypt beginning September 12 and may subsequently cross the border into the Gazoo Strip.
Channel Two quoted the Israeli official as saying Erdogan would damage Turkey's relations with the United States by visiting Gazoo. He added that the move would also weaken Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
, presumably because a trip to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-controlled Gazoo would challenge him as the legitimate representative of the Paleostinians.
| But Islamist PM Erdogan would want his Islamist Hamas brothers strengthened versus the secularist PA, even if they are Arabs. He can always reconquer them later, after their mutual Israel problem has been taken care of by Iran. |
