Qatar and Turkey as supporters of terrorism - Opinion - Jerusalem Post

Qatar and Turkey as supporters of terrorism - Opinion - Jerusalem Post: "Qatar and Turkey both gave sanctuary to the Muslim Brotherhood after it was ousted from Egypt, and both currently support the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Hamas’s overseas command center is based in Turkey, and the US has been unable to persuade Turkey to stop Islamic State (IS) from selling oil on the Turkish black market.

Paradoxically, Qatar and Turkey are considered by the American administration as strong allies in the war against Islamic extremism.

Until the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Iran was the largest supporter of Hamas. When the Muslim Brotherhood fell to General Abdel Fattah Sisi in a coup, Hamas turned to Qatar and Turkey as its major benefactors.

America ignored their support of a State Department-designated terrorist organization, and also ignored Iranian support of Hamas."
