To Mr. Erdogan, Hamas drew Israelis into this war with a genocidal attack on Israelis of all ages. And then drew Israelis in further by bringing back hundreds of hostages. And then bringing Israelis in further by fighting from positions among civilian populations—– All violations of the UN Rules of War and Geneva Conventions.
Hamas had a choice to lay down their arms in the last hundred days, yet chose to continue to prosecute this war when they had a choice to save Gaza from the Israeli response.
