Turkish resentment and an ambiguous Qatari position... Will the Syrian regime refrain from meeting the leadership of Hamas?!

Beirut - Exclusive "Al-Quds" dot com - Well-informed Palestinian sources revealed today, Thursday, that the Syrian regime has not yet responded to attempts by mediators to bridge views between it and Hamas , in light of the movement's decision taken several months ago to restore relations with the regime in Damascus. For his part, he achieves an improvement in his control over many lands, as well as in his relations with Arab, Islamic and other countries.


According to the sources that spoke to Al-Quds.com , several parties intervened and made contacts, some formally and others informally, with some officials in the Syrian regime, with the knowledge of the Hamas leadership. However, these efforts have not yet achieved any breakthrough, and there is a state of apathy. It prevails by the leadership in Damascus towards the movement after its position on the events that began in the country in 2012.


The sources said that the restoration of relations between Hamas and the Syrian regime will require more time, and years may pass until they return again, indicating that the movement is interested in opening up relations again with the Syrian regime and other countries and parties in the context of its attempt to confront the changes taking place in the region and the alliances that are being built to try to serve Normalization and the Israeli occupation.


According to the sources, Hamas' decision to restore its relationship with the Syrian regime in particular aroused the anger and resentment of the Turkish leadership, which in turn did not talk to the movement about the issue, but it is an issue that is expected to be discussed in any official or unofficial meetings between the two sides.

It is remarkable that he did not know Qatar's position on Hamas' decision, especially since Doha is one of the countries that most opposes the return of the Syrian regime to the Arab League and the official system in the region.

While the Muslim Brotherhood did not show any position on Hamas' decision, some clerics and scholars conveyed a message advising the movement's leadership to reconsider its decision.


The scholars said in their message: The decision has "great corruptions, and it is not consistent with the principles, values, and legal controls, and this, in the view of those present, requires that the movement review and re-study it in the light of what the scholars mentioned."

The scholars pointed out that Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, promised to present the issue again to the leadership of the movement.

Hamas did not comment on that message, but confirmed, through the words of leaders Musa Abu Marzouk and Khalil al-Hayya, that there are contacts to restore relations with the Syrian regime and other parties.

Sources told Al-Quds.com , on the twenty-first of this month, that there are no developments in the file of restoring relations with Syria, which was taken months after the election of the new political bureau in August of last year.

At the time, the sources indicated that the political bureau of Hamas took the decision within the framework of opening up to all sides and improving relations with all Arab and international parties, noting that some Palestinian factions played a role in trying to bridge points of view, especially in light of the development of relations between the Palestinian resistance and the axis of resistance in the region. .

Reuters had quoted sources in Hamas as saying that the movement had decided to resume its relations with Syria ten years after its leadership boycotted Damascus because of its opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's campaign against his rule.

According to "Reuters", an official in the movement, who requested anonymity, said that "the two parties held meetings at higher leadership levels to achieve this."
