Turkey's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met with Hamas leaders on Saturday for talks about delivering aid to Gaza and securing a permanent ceasefire. They also discussed countering plans to displace Gaza's population and Turkey's opposition to occupying or annexing Palestinian territory. Turkey has been a vocal supporter of Hamas throughout the war with Israel, with President Erdogan calling Israel a 'terrorist state' and accusing it of conducting a 'genocide' in Gaza. Erdogan has been outspoken about his support for Hamas, claiming it is a resistance group and not a terrorist organization.
