Ankara, December 24 (Xinhua) — Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met in Ankara on Wednesday with a Hamas delegation led by senior Hamas member Khalil al-Hayya to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip and exchange views on the second phase of the Gaza peace plan, the semi-official Anadolu News Agency reported.
As the agency noted, citing anonymous sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, H. Fidan “confirmed that Turkey will continue to defend the rights of Palestinians” and informed the delegation of his country’s ongoing efforts to address housing and humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas delegation emphasized that the movement is complying with the ceasefire, but at the same time accused Israel of continuing attacks in Gaza and creating obstacles to the transition to the second phase of the peace plan.
As the delegation noted, approximately 60 percent of trucks entering Gaza carry commercial goods, while the flow of humanitarian aid remains insufficient to meet urgent needs for items such as basic necessities, medicine, shelter materials, and fuel.
The talks also touched on progress in efforts to reconcile Palestinian factions, as well as the situation in the West Bank, where Israeli actions were described as unacceptable. –0–
