According to Davutoglu, Turkey is the legitimate heir to the Ottoman Empire, and the residents of Gaza are still under Turkish sovereignty, lacking any other nationality. He suggests that the people of Gaza should have the option to hold a referendum to join Turkey. If they choose to do so, Gaza would become an autonomous region under Turkish administration until the establishment of a Palestinian state.
This statement is likely to spark debate and controversy, given the complex political landscape of the region and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It comes amid discussions about potential solutions for the Gaza Strip following the war, with various actors proposing different scenarios for its future governance. Davutoglu, who served as Prime Minister of Turkey from 2014 to 2016, now heads the Future Party, a breakaway faction from the ruling AK Party He has been critical of Erdogan's policies and has called for a new democratic order in Turkey.
