Espionage Unveiled: Mohammed Dahlan’s Alleged Links to Mossad Activities in Turkey
Watan-Turkish media revealed the connection of the fugitive Palestinian leader and dismissed member of Fatah movement, Mohammed Dahlan, to individuals recently arrested in 8 Turkish states on charges of spying for the Israeli Mossad.
The website “haberler” mentioned that Dahlan, residing in the UAE and close to the regime of the Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed, is linked to the “Mossad espionage network” that was arrested in Turkey, including foreign individuals of various nationalities.
In the same context, the Turkish newspaper “Sabah” disclosed the existence of close contacts between the former Fatah leader Mohammed Dahlan and some suspects in the Mossad spying network case who were apprehended in Turkey earlier this week.
Since 2019, Mohammed Dahlan has been listed on Turkey’s wanted terrorists lists and has been accused of involvement in the failed coup attempt in 2016. He was also alleged to have coordinated with the “Fethullah Gulen” group, classified as a terrorist organization.
Furthermore, his name has been linked to his alleged connections with the Emirati espionage network in Turkey, aiming to destabilize the country in collaboration with Israel.
Mohammed Dahlan is considered one of the most dangerous terrorists wanted in Turkey
On December 13, 2019, the Turkish Ministry of Interior included Dahlan, currently residing in the United Arab Emirates, in the “red list,” which is one of the most critical lists of wanted terrorists in the country.
The Turkish judiciary accuses Dahlan of involvement in the failed coup attempt, attempting to forcefully change the constitutional system, “revealing secret information about state security for espionage purposes,” and engaging in “international espionage.”
According to a report by Anadolu Agency after his dismissal from Fatah in 2011, Dahlan has resided in the United Arab Emirates, where he is believed to work as an advisor to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the President of the UAE and the ruler of Abu Dhabi.
The exact nature of Dahlan’s activities is not precisely known, but many reports suggest that he functions as a tool for the UAE and international entities, aiming to destabilize the stability of certain countries. Additionally, he is reported to be involved in arms trade.
Arrest of a Spy Cell Working for Mossad
Among those arrested on charges of spying for the Israeli Mossad were 34 individuals, including women, of various Arab and Turkish nationalities. They were accused of collaborating with the Israeli Mossad, and some of the detainees were released on bail while being placed under surveillance.
Legal proceedings have been initiated to refer others to the public prosecutor’s office for trial. The Turkish Minister of Justice, Yilmaz Tunc, revealed that authorities also found more than 143,000 euros (157,300 dollars) and over 23,000 dollars in the possession of the suspects, along with one pistol and a significant quantity of ammunition.
According to sources, Turkish authorities are still searching for 12 other fugitives, and it has been reported that over 100 individuals have been investigated so far.
