Turkey's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin hosted a delegation from the Hamas organization in Istanbul to discuss the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza. The Hamas team, led by Khalil al-Hayya, asserted their compliance with the ceasefire and raised concerns about alleged violations by Israel. The discussions centered on Turkey's role as a guarantor of the ceasefire, the next steps for the Gaza Peace Plan, and strategies to overcome current obstacles. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has openly supported Hamas and criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, reinforcing Turkey's active involvement in the peace process and humanitarian efforts.
