During the meeting in Doha, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan offered his condolences to Khaled Meshaal, Deputy Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau. The meeting was also attended by Abdussalam and Hemmam, sons of the late Ismail Haniyeh, who was recently killed in Tehran.

The visit underscores Türkiye's continued diplomatic engagement with Hamas, a key political player in the Palestinian territories and a close ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The presence of high-ranking Turkish officials in meetings with Hamas leadership highlights the deep political connections and ongoing support between Turkey and the Palestinian group, amidst the broader geopolitical tensions in the region. (ILKHA)
