Senior members of Hamas's abroad leadership left Qatar last week for Turkey, an Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel on Sunday, after Doha said it was walking away from efforts to mediate an end to the war in Gaza.

The Arab diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, downplayed the significance of the move for the terror group, stressing that Hamas's leadership abroad already spends much of its time in Turkey when they are not holding meetings in Qatar.

The departure of Hamas’s senior politburo from Doha was first reported by Israel's Kan public broadcaster.

Israel has a lot of well placed operatives in Turkey; Hamas needs to watch their six. I predict bad things for them there.

Yes, Turkey is a much easier place to operate than a high-rise hotel in Qatar.

Turkey must be booted from NATO even though her geographic position is all she really has.

Turkey supports terror just as long as it is not their own, home grown PKK movement.

Turkey yearns for the Ottoman Empire days all over again.

Erdoğan needs to decide, either he goes with the Islamic Brotherhood or Atatürk.
