The head of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MİT), Ibrahim Kalin, reportedly met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh to discuss the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group. The meeting centered around ceasefire negotiations, potential steps towards a lasting truce, hostage exchanges, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Kalin expressed his condolences for the loss of Haniyeh’s sister, who was killed in an Israeli attack, and reaffirmed Turkey’s support for the Palestinian people. Specific details about the meeting’s location were not disclosed. This meeting follows a previous discussion between Kalin and Haniyeh in Doha, Qatar in May. Haniyeh also met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Istanbul to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, along with other Turkish political leaders during his visit.
