Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held talks in Ankara with a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya, a senior figure in the group’s Political Bureau.

The meeting formed part of Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic engagement surrounding the Gaza ceasefire and broader regional developments.

According to Turkish diplomatic sources, discussions centered on the latest situation in Gaza Strip, the deepening humanitarian crisis, and efforts to move forward with the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, sometimes referred to as the Gaza peace plan.

During the meeting, Fidan reiterated Ankara’s long-standing position on the Palestinian issue.

He emphasized Türkiye’s “unwavering support” for Palestinian rights and said Türkiye would continue to strongly defend the Palestinian cause on all international platforms.

Fidan also briefed the Hamas delegation on Türkiye’s humanitarian efforts, including initiatives focused on shelter, aid delivery, and post-conflict recovery in Gaza.

He stressed Ankara’s determination to help “heal the wounds” in the region, underscoring Türkiye’s role as both a diplomatic and humanitarian actor in the crisis.

Representatives of Hamas told Turkish officials that the group had fully met all of its obligations under the existing ceasefire terms.

They accused Israel of continuing military actions in Gaza, arguing that these moves are intended to prevent the transition to the second phase of the agreement.

The Hamas delegation also raised concerns over humanitarian access, claiming that aid entering Gaza remains far below what is required.

According to their assessment, around 60% of trucks allowed into the territory are carrying commercial goods rather than humanitarian assistance.

They highlighted acute shortages of essential items such as medicine, shelter materials, and fuel.

Beyond Gaza, the talks addressed developments in the West Bank.

Actions by Israel there were described during the meeting as unacceptable, with the delegation urging greater international pressure to curb what they characterized as escalating measures against Palestinians.
