Abbas to visit Turkey, Gulf

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is set to visit Turkey Friday, followed by stops in Bahrain and Qatar, as he attempts to find a path to a Gaza ceasefire.

Hamas has indicated it wants to work on a ceasefire with Turkey and its primary patron Qatar, instead of Egypt, which treats Hamas as an adversary.
