More than 1,000 Hamas members being treated in Turkey, says Erdogan

Turkey’s president has said that more than 1,000 members of Hamas are being treated in Turkish hospitals.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has railed against Israel since the outbreak of war, described Hamas as “a resistance organisation”.

“So many Hamas members have been killed. The whole of the West is attacking them with all sorts of arms and munitions,” he said.

“Calling Hamas ... a terrorist organisation would be cruel,” Mr Erdogan said, adding that it was a “very important” question.

Hamas is classed as a terrorist organisation by Israel, the United States and the European Union, among others.

It is not clear how 1,000 Hamas members would have come to Turkey from Gaza, which has been sealed off by Israel and Egypt since the war began.

However, not all Hamas members are militant fighters, and some badly injured civilians are know to have been evacuated for treatment.

Sounds like a good time for a mysterious steam boiler explosion in the hospital housing enemies of Israel.

“Calling Hamas ... a terrorist organisation would be cruel,” Mr Erdogan said


Erdogan is a supporter of ISIS and a dozen other terrorist organizations.
