Hamas announces that a delegation headed by the terror group’s leader of Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, who is currently outside the Strip, met today with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Istanbul.

According to the Hamas statement, during the meeting, Hamas representatives gave a document to Turkish officials detailing alleged Israeli violations of the ceasefire since it began last month.

It’s also reported that al-Hayya stressed Hamas’s commitment to the ceasefire and, within that framework, to returning bodies of hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
