The rise of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the mediator between Israel and Hamas created a kind of allergy in Ankara.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, “What does he [Sisi] have to do with peace? He is a tyrant.” Apparently, the feud between Turkey and Egypt goes even deeper than the humanitarian crisis of the Palestinians. Even the bodies of killed Palestinian children fail to force Turkey and Egypt to forget their bilateral problems. This is, thus, a modern feud in every sense. Like other historical examples, this feud will generate hate, tension and indeed, its own long-term legacy.
