relationship, concerns are mounting that&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/21\/qatar-turkeys-expanding-roles-gaza-could-strengthen-hamas-infrastructure-experts-warn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their growing influence in Gaza could bolster Hamas<\/a>&nbsp;and complicate the fragile ceasefire, as both countries pursue their regional ambitions in the war-torn enclave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">On Wednesday, Ankara and Doha signed new agreements on defense, trade, and strategic planning, deepening a partnership that continues to raise alarm bells among Israel, Gulf states, and experts, who warn that their expanding roles in Gaza\u2019s reconstruction efforts could potentially strengthen Hamas\u2019s terrorist infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">As part of his three-day Gulf tour, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan traveled to Doha to meet with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">During the 11th meeting of the Turkey\u2013Qatar High Strategic Committee, the two leaders issued a joint declaration reaffirming their commitment to maintaining&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/20\/us-steps-up-diplomacy-after-gaza-truce-shaken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the US-backed Gaza peace plan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Erdogan\u2019s diplomatic visit came a day after Hamas leaders met with Qatari and Turkish officials in Doha to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire and plans for rebuilding Gaza after the war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">As both nations expanded their relationship with new cooperation agreements, Turkey has reportedly sought to acquire billions of dollars\u2019 worth of military technology from Qatar, including 24 used and 16 new Eurofighter Typhoon jets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">If approved, the deal would allow Doha to provide Ankara with an immediate solution to its operational gap, bypassing the Eurofighter production schedule, which is currently overbooked due to high global demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Amid rising geopolitical tensions, Turkey\u2019s move to acquire advanced multi-role combat aircraft would strengthen its position as a key regional power and reduce reliance on American-made systems, while representing a major step in modernizing its combat aviation fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">However, concerns over Qatar and Turkey\u2019s expanding partnership come at a time when the fragile Gaza ceasefire, though seemingly holding, faces mounting challenges, as&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/17\/hamas-aims-keep-grip-gaza-security-cant-commit-disarm-senior-official-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Palestinian terrorist group continues to refuse disarmament<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 an essential component of US President Donald Trump\u2019s peace plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">On Saturday, Hamas reiterated the group\u2019s refusal to give up its weapons as part of the ceasefire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThe proposed weapons handover is out of the question and not negotiable,\u201d a Hamas official told AFP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Hamas Politburo member Mohammed Nazzal also said the group could not commit to disarmament, as it intends to maintain security control in Gaza during an interim period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Even though Hamas has publicly expressed these views before, these latest remarks have heightened concerns over&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/22\/hamas-ramp-up-brutal-crackdown-gazans-new-israeli-data-shows-terror-group-still-heavily-armed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">obstacles to ending the war in Gaza<\/a>, with the next phase of ceasefire negotiations waiting to begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In this regional context, experts warn that both Turkey and Qatar \u2014 as two of the largest state sponsors of Hamas, with long-standing ties to the terrorist group \u2014 could shield the Islamist movement in Gaza or even bolster its terror infrastructure, as they seek a central role in post-war efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Alongside the United States and regional powers, Qatar has served as a ceasefire mediator during the two-year conflict in Gaza, facilitating indirect negotiations between the Jewish state and Hamas, which has ruled the enclave for nearly two decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">However,&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/06\/09\/idf-discovers-docs-revealing-intimate-iran-hamas-qatar-partnership-against-israeli-palestinian-peace-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doha has also backed the Palestinian terrorist group for years<\/a>, providing Hamas with money and diplomatic support while hosting and sheltering its top leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Turkey has also been a major international backer of Hamas and has maintained an openly hostile stance toward the Jewish state for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">During his visit to Doha, Erdogan said the ceasefire \u201chas provided relief to Palestinians,\u201d but reiterated that a two-state solution was the only path to resolving the conflict with Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Under Trump\u2019s plan, Turkey is expected to join a multinational task force responsible for overseeing the ceasefire and training local security forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/22\/netanyahu-hints-opposition-any-turkish-forces-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hinted at opposition<\/a>&nbsp;to any involvement of
