Political scientist Hakob Badalyan wrote on his Telegram channel: "For example, it is interesting, isn't it, what Putin and Trump will have said about Trump's vision of Gaza? As is known, Arab, Muslim, Islamic states are against, practically all have spoken out against Trump's plan to resettle Palestinians and hand Gaza over to the US. Will Trump expect Putin's support in this matter, taking into account the fact that Russia has certain ties with Hamas and also has influence in the Middle East.
As is known, Russia declares that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict should be resolved on the principle of two states.
Could Gaza be the price for this, that is, the US also agree to the creation of a Palestinian state? Moreover, the statement from Turkey was very significant against the background of the Trump-Putin conversation.
Of course, it was not official, but I think that Davutoglu's statement was agreed with official Ankara. And the statement was about giving Gaza to Turkey, Turkey can be the best “mandate holder” in the Gaza issue, until the final solutions.
Moreover, it was interesting that Davutoglu emphasized that the last so-called international legal affiliation of Gaza was the Ottoman Empire, after which there was the British mandate.
Through Davutoglu, Ankara is apparently trying to touch sentiments, at the same time presenting a bid for bargaining between the US-Russia process on the one hand, and the serious British jealousy towards it on the other.”
