MK Barkat urges US sanctions on Turkey over its reported support for Hamas

Likud MK Nir Barkat says he spoke with US Ambassador David Friedman and asked that Washington sanction Turkey in light of a newspaper report that Turkish authorities were allowing Hamas terrorists to plan attacks on Israel from their territory, including a past plot to assassinate Barkat.

“Once again, we’ve received confirmation that Turkey supports and provides a warm home for terror groups — just like Iran,” he says in a tweet.

Barkat says he wants the US “to trigger international sanctions against Turkey” in light of the report in the British Daily Telegraph.
