Turkey, a member of NATO, provided a boost by offering Hamas\u2019 political leaders \u00adprotection from Israeli strikes if they came to the table, says Soner Cagaptay, a Turkish scholar at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. \u201cTurkey has quite a bit of sway over Hamas\u2019 \u00adpolitical wing,\u201d he says, \u201cand I think Ankara used that influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rich-text mb-6 self-baseline font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left\" data-testid=\"paragraph-content\">Trump applied pressure too, warning that if the militant group refused to disarm or attempted to subvert the deal, it would face \u201ccomplete obliteration.\u201d The demand was clear: the return of every Israeli captive, no longer in stages. \u201cI said, \u2018No more of that.
