Turkey President: I'll visit Israel only after life in Gaza improves
By Barak Ravid

Turkish President Abdullah Gul told President Shimon Peres at a private meeting in Copenhagen on Friday that only after Israel takes action to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip would he pay Israel a visit. The meeting, on the sidelines of the United Nations' global conference on climate change, took place during a period of high tension between the two states. Following the meeting, both leaders said they had resolved to restore relations to their stable, positive past.

Spokesmen for Peres said the two presidents discussed the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and between Israel and Arab states. Gul told Peres that Turkey seeks to advance the peace process, adding that Turkey's friendship with Israel is long-standing and will continue far into the future.

Gaza was a major topic discussed in the meeting. Members of Gul's entourage said that Peres invited his Turkish counterpart to visit Israel, but that Gul stressed that he could do so only when the situation in Gaza improved. He told Peres that the Turkish public is uneasy about unfavorable developments in Israel and the territories, adding that Israel should stop building in the settlements and withdraw to the 1967 borders to enable the creation of a Palestinian state.

Hmm, would he still visit Gaza after Psalm 83 is fulfilled? And what would this visit look like? Would he bring a few tens of thousands of friends and their militaria collection? Oh it's getting so hard these days to tell friend from foe, please Lord, come quickly...

Which may be never. I'm not sure life is going ot get any better in Gaza until the Lord returns. Maybe if Israel gets Gaza back it will get better, but as long as Hamas is in control in Gaza things will never get better.
