It seems as long as there is an Islamist government in Turkey that is pro-Hamas it sure makes sense to do this:
So I have a modest proposal: if Turkey is so concerned with the welfare of Gazans, why not let Turkey run the place. Israel doesn’t want it, and never has; it tried to give it back to Egypt several times, but Egypt doesn’t want it, either. Meanwhile, Gaza is controlled by a terrorist government that is both cruel and incompetent; and Israel is not going to lift its siege to long as Hamas is in charge.
If this was still the Grand Game period it would be the perfect move to just outright sell Gaza or gift it to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and wash their hands of it. I mean the Turks did once rule that entire area in the 1800s. Then all Israel would have to do is strengthen their border from everywhere except by sea.
I'm sure the Turkish military would love to patrol a desolate wasteland full of refugee camps and try to rebuild a country shattered by Hamas. However, you can count down the number of days until Hamas uses a suicide bomber against the "Turkish occupier." But that is besides the point.
Israel's next move would be to make a separate peace with Fatah in the West Bank and normalize relations with this Palestinian State. Israel gets rid of the missiles pointed at their cities and hands the problem off to another nation to solve. If missiles are fired at them from Gaza then it would like an attack from Turkish territory and carry the consequences of that action. If Turkey can't provide security in Gaza then who can?
