A visit to Turkey by Hamas’ top leader and his participation in a convention of the ruling Islamist party is the latest sign that Turkey, a member of NATO, is becoming the key sponsor and ally of a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

Khaled Meshaal met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday, before making a guest appearance at a weekend regional congress of the Justice and Development Party (AKP). Welcomed onto the platform by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Meshaal received an enthusiastic reception. He endorsed Erdogan and Davutoglu by name, and expressed the hope that together Hamas and Turkey would “liberate Palestine and Jerusalem.”

Turkey’s Hurriyet daily reported that party supporters waving Turkish and Palestinian flags responded to Meshaal’s speech with shouts of “Allahu Akbar” and “Down with Israel.”

State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Monday he did not have “any comment to offer” about the high-level Turkey-Hamas contacts. …

One of the fruits of the European Union de-listing Hamas. Also shows who is really in control of NATO, ever since the 1990s.

Turkey is a partner in the international consortium funding the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and as such is privy to its stealth technology. You know what that means.

The no comment from the State Department is a wink and nod approval from the Obama government.

... I would have to assume a quicker realization of

“Death To America”

We need to put America on a suicide watch. The voted for a muslim enabler. They have Clinton as a secondary helper. The list goes on.

More muslim outreach anyone?

Not a lot ultimately. those that know it call it best a flying target.

Why would the state dept have any comment? The hope is that Turkey would reciprocate with no comment towards the US when/as the Ø regime boosts ties with Chhhhammas.

One really has to wonder who this hurts - the US or NATO? Hamas is no friend to democracy ......

• Hamas wouldn't support Assad after Assad started the Syrian civil war
• Iran was and is all-in to prop him up, so Iran cut off support for Hamas
• the price of oil started to fall in 2014
• Hamas got back into Iran's good graces with last year's terror-tunnel attacks against Israel...
• ...as well as the attacks and murders in support of the ousted Morsi regime in Egypt
• Zero, Lurch, Plugs, and the other thugs started paying $700 million a month of our money to the Iranian mullahcracy
• the PLO's factions attacked one another, then tried to pin it on ISIS
• faced with an oversupply and enemies with economic vulnerability, the Saudis refused to significantly cut supply, shattering Iran's and Russia's and Venezuela's finances and undermining their Axis of Evil
• Zero, Lurch, Plugs, and the other thugs then embraced Castro

Seems like nobody takes the advice of “feign disorder” (from the first chapter of “The Art Of War”) more seriously than the Islamists in Asia Minor.
