Turkey and Qatar signed a series of agreements on trade, military, and technical cooperation during Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani's visit to President Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara. The visit focused on investment and trade, and comes after Doha said it will stall efforts to mediate a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal until willingness and seriousness are shown. Turkey does not consider Hamas a terrorist group and regularly hosts its political officials.
