ANKARA, Dec 24 (Reuters) – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday met with Hamas political bureau officials 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.
The Hamas members also said humanitarian aid entering Gaza was not sufficient, and that goods like medication, equipment for housing, and fuel were needed, the source added.
