Gaza-based Hamas officials are reportedly considering fleeing to Turkey to escape the ongoing war, following reports that Hamas officials in Qatar were looking to relocate to Turkey. Despite denials, two Hamas officials have already left Qatar, according to Israeli and senator sources. Senators Ted Budd, Roger Wicker, and Joni Ernst criticized Turkey for welcoming Hamas leaders, calling it 'unbecoming of a NATO member to harbor foreign designated terrorists.' The potential move comes after the elimination of most of Hamas's senior leadership, including its leader, Yahya Sinwar. The Israel-Hamas war has caused a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with over 40,000 claimed Palestinian deaths.
