Turkey's National Intelligence Organization chief Ibrahim Kalin met with members of Hamas's political bureau in Istanbul, according to Turkish security sources. The talks focused on confronting Israel's actions in Jerusalem and Gaza, with both sides stressing unity and rejecting any imposed outcomes in the region.

Discussions included a detailed review of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, prioritizing an end to attacks and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Participants called on Israel to fulfill its obligations under the agreement's first phase, while Turkey pledged to continue efforts toward a lasting peace.

The report did not clarify whether disarmament was addressed, despite it being part of a peace proposal by the president of the United States. Turkey maintains close ties with Hamas, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly voiced support for the group and criticized Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
