Recently, rumors on the Internet have been confirmed, which means that the most fierce Erdogan ** began to gradually retreat, recognizing the essence of the war in the Middle East, recognizing the irreversible reality of the elimination of Hamas. This change in attitude may be related to the persistence of the Arab world in which slogans have been uttered without substantive action. After all, no country accepts Gaza refugees, let alone the outbreak of the sixth Middle East war.
After several weeks of frequent reports and rumors, the most recent ** rumors were confirmed, and Erdogan ** finally took a step and recognized the essence of the war in the Middle East. Erdogan may have recognized that the reality of Hamas's elimination is irreversible. So he began to look for other options, or to establish the next political goal, and to seek more compromises for the international and domestic markets.
The reason for this change may be related to the situation in the Arab world over the past month. Many countries shout only the highest slogans, but lack the will to take real and substantive action. Not even a single country wants to accept those who fled after the war in Gaza, let alone the outbreak of the sixth Middle East war. This circumstance may make Erdogan realize that this endless conflict needs to be ended with verbal support, and not by real actions and compromises to change reality.
Hamas leader Sinwar reportedly fled to the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza through tunnels or humanitarian vehicles shortly after the start of the Israeli army's ground operations. It is estimated that Sinwar is still hiding in a tunnel in the Khan Younis area, and the elimination of Sinwar has become one of the main tasks of the Israeli operation. If Sinwar is killed or arrested, it will not only severely demoralize Hamas, but will also cause more Hamas members to surrender.
For Erdogan, acknowledging the reality of Hamas's war and the irreversibility of Hamas's destruction means that he must change his position and establish a new image for the international community and the people at home. Perhaps he hopes to gain more support through this change of attitude, or to help promote a range of political solutions to the Middle East problem.
However, this change could also trigger a chain reaction. Hamas's capitulation may reduce the conflict to some extent, but it may also cause some radicals to turn to other forms of struggle. In addition, the support and assistance of the international community is needed, and the resettlement of the local population remains.
