Donald Trump sparked controversy by stating that the presence of Turkish troops in Gaza would be a “good idea.” This statement was made during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida. Trump reiterated his admiration for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, calling him “excellent” and emphasizing their relationship. This statement suggests Trump’s desire to create an alliance that includes Israel, Turkey, and other US-friendly countries in the region, regardless of the consequences for the region’s people. Criticism focuses on the potential support for Turkey, which is accused of repressive policies in various areas, such as Kurdistan and Cyprus. The article highlights the concern that such an alliance could lead to further violence and destruction in the region, as well as Trump’s disregard for the consequences of his actions on the affected populations. The reference to Cyprus underscores Turkey’s historical involvement in the region and the ongoing tensions.
