Fresh sanctions on Hamas leaders highlights key NATO ally's troubling relationship with terrorists

Turkey's increasingly ardent support for Hamas has placed the U.S. in a difficult situation as Ankara continues to shield terrorist leaders from Israel and its allies.

"Turkey continues to pose a major problem to the United States, NATO, Israel and the broader Middle East," he argued. "Sanctions are a good way to draw attention to the problem, but more needs to be done: The U.S. must begin to take steps to shut down the Incirlik air base and cut off Turkish banks from the financial system."

"NATO must take steps to remove Ankara from the alliance," Schanzer stressed. "Israel must begin to target some of the Hamas leaders in Istanbul through kinetic means, and the international community must begin to shun Turkey diplomatically."
