[Regnum] The Turkish presidential administration said that reports of certain “agreements” between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a million Palestinian refugees in Turkey are fabricated. A refutation message was published by the Center for Combating Disinformation of the Communications Directorate of the Turkish Presidential Administration.

“A message circulated on some social networks citing Netanyahu’s statement: “We have agreed with Erdogan that 1 million Palestinians will become Turkish citizens and live in Turkey in exchange for two billion dollars,” is not true. There were no negotiations by our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, nor such a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These allegations are completely fabricated ,” the department said in a statement.

Earlier, some opposition Turkish media and social networks circulated reports that Erdogan had agreed to accept up to a million Palestinians into Turkey in exchange for money.

Prior to this, Israeli authorities admitted that the government was considering the option of mass relocation of residents of the Gaza Strip to Egypt. Thus, according to the Associated Press, the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence has developed a plan to resettle 2.3 million Gazans to the Sinai Peninsula. According to the plan, the population of Gaza was to be resettled in northern Sinai. The ministry called this scenario the most desirable for Israel's security. In Israel, the plan's authors proposed creating a security zone to block displaced Palestinians from entering the country. The report did not say what would happen to Gaza after the residents were evicted. After information about this plan emerged, both Palestine and Egypt expressed outrage.

As Regnum reported, the Hürriyet newspaper previously reported that Erdogan, after the actions of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip, stopped perceiving Netanyahu as his interlocutor. According to the newspaper, the Turkish president also accused the Israeli prime minister of involvement in the massacres and attempts to justify them using religious arguments. Erdogan believes that Netanyahu has lost the support of his people because of his actions.
All credit to the anti-Bibi/ anti-judicial overhaul protesters who just pivoted to protesting about the Hamas hostages — though at least they are no longer encouraging IDF reservists to refuse to serve. And fair credit to the protesters’ paymasters in the US State Department and the various foundations funded by a variety Progressive tech multi-billionaires and their little friends.
