Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Mohammed Darwish, head of the Shura Council of the Palestinian group Hamas, and a delegation to discuss developments in Gaza and the wider region, Turkish Foreign Ministry sources said Saturday, Anadolu reported.
According to the sources, the talks in Ankara focused on efforts to secure lasting peace in Gaza, initiatives to deliver humanitarian aid to the enclave, and broader regional issues.
Fidan said the ongoing war in the region should not overshadow the Palestinian issue, adding that Türkiye continues to draw international attention to the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank, the sources said.
He also described Israel’s expanding presence in Gaza and its obstruction of urgent aid deliveries as unacceptable, according to the sources. –Agencies
