Turkish opposition leader Ozgur Ozal has sparked outrage in his country with recent comments about Hamas in a televised interview. In the interview, Ozal reiterated his stance that Hamas is a terrorist organization, a position he has taken in the past. He criticized Hamas for dropping bombs on innocent people in the middle of the night, using balloons and zeppelins to carry out their attacks.
Despite facing criticism and accusations for his statements, Ozal stood firm on his position. He emphasized that the issue with Hamas began with their terrorist activities, such as dropping bombs on sleeping Jews during the night. Ozal’s remarks have reignited tensions between Turkey and Israel, following the fallout from the Iron Swords War and subsequent trade disruptions.
In response to Ozal’s comments, the Turkish government is facing backlash and pressure to take action against Hamas. The possibility of severing trade relations with Israel and imposing a 100% tax on imports from Turkey has been discussed as a potential response to the current situation. The controversy surrounding Ozal’s remarks highlights the complex dynamics of international relations and the challenges of navigating delicate diplomatic issues.
