Turkiye, Hamas discuss 2nd phase of Gaza truce deal

ANKARA — Turkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met on Wednesday with political bureau officials of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Ankara to discuss the ceasefire in Gaza and advancing the agreement to its second phase, a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said.

The source said the Hamas officials told Fidan that they had fulfilled their requirements as part of the ceasefire deal, but that Israel's continued targeting of Gaza aimed to prevent the agreement from moving to the next phase.
