Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MİT) will not allow special operations to be carried out in the country by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad to eliminate representatives of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas. This was reported by a pro-government newspaper Liberty.
It was noted that MİT took all necessary measures to continuously protect Turkey from all kinds of threats to its security.
At the same time, newspaper columnist Hande Fırat reminded that a few years ago, an agreement was reached between Turkey and Hamas that the group on the territory of the republic could only be presented as a political structure. According to the author, Hamas does not and will not have a military wing, no transfers or operations will be carried out through Turkish territory, and the Israeli side is aware of this.
According to Hürriyet, it was Turkish intelligence that negotiated with Qatar, Egypt and the United States regarding the return of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip at the request of Mossad following the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on October 7. He secured the release of some prisoners.
The newspaper also noted that Israel knows MİT very well, yet Mossad will face serious consequences if it pursues what is planned in Turkey.
Ronen Bar, head of Israel’s Shin Bet General Security Service, in early December statedIsrael is ready to destroy Hamas leaders in Qatar and Turkey.
He compared the goal of eliminating Hamas leaders to eliminating those who organized the terrorist attack that killed 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team in 1972. The retaliation operation for the terrorist attack lasted nearly 20 years. The perpetrators of the terrorist attack were persecuted worldwide.
Also President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan statedIt will never recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.
