Egypt Turkey Qatar Pact in Gaza at Risk
The article discusses Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar's stances towards Hamas in Gaza and highlights the differences in their strategies for dealing with it. Turkey, led by Erdoğan, emphasizes its long-standing relationships with Hamas leaders and its influence over the organization, without designating Hamas as a terrorist organization. Qatar, which maintains a strong relationship with Hamas, considers it part of its international mediation efforts and aims to strengthen its regional influence by supporting the group, despite occasional tensions in the relationship. In contrast, Egypt regards Hamas as a security threat and classifies it as a terrorist organization, dealing with it through intelligence channels due to its role in threatening Egypt’s security and its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood's policies. Despite these disagreements, relations among the three countries remain intact, with Egypt keen to avoid marginalizing itself in the Gaza issue. Meanwhile, mediators believe that the success of a U.S.-backed plan to cease fire in Gaza depends on aligning their interests, although the United States' position remains somewhat unclear regarding the official relationship with Hamas.
