Palestinian Authority source: Israel-Turkey deal is a political trick, Erdogan is using Gaza

Despite the fact that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to update him on Ankara’s reconciliation agreement with Israel, PA sources said Monday that the deal will perpetuate Palestinian divisions and will not help the Gaza Strip.

 

“Israel and Erdogan’s Islamic party are the only ones who will be served by this agreement,” a Palestinian source said.

 

The senior official accused Erdogan of ignoring diplomatic rules between friends and completely ignoring the Palestinian Authority by allowing Hamas to continue ruling in Gaza in exchange for the rehabilitation of the Strip.
