Abstract
Gaza War based on Israel-Hamas tension becoming deep after the Palestinian group won the elections in January 2006. Israel reacted to Hamas which was to come to power alone after winning the 76 seats in the result of election held for Parliament composed of 132 seats. In the statements made by Israeli government after election, that Israel will accept the Palestinian Authority directly or indirectly consisted of Hamas as “Terrorist Authority”, and will not recognize this authority as legal government. Israel underlined that it will fight with this authority in all areas. Israel and the United States were seeking to isolate the Hamas. But Turkey, Israel's closest regional ally, welcomed a Hamas delegation to Ankara shortly after it won elections. Turkey defended its dialogue with the Hamas leader and has repeatedly asked the Hamas should be involved in the Middle East peace process. This study examines Gaza War, Turkey’s reaction and reflections of Turkish policy on the Arab countries.
