Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem reiterated that the paper's claims that Türkiye "has imposed restrictions on leaders of Hamas living there are lies and fabrications disseminated to defame the movement and its leadership."
"Hamas has and seeks to develop and build good relations with the Republic of Türkiye and with all Arab and Islamic countries," Qassem confirmed.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli outlet Haaretz alleged that Türkiye has been tightening its restrictions on Hamas' leadership and activists living in the country in a response to Israel's request to undermine the existence of Hamas on Turkish lands. (ILKHA)
