Haniyeh meets Turkish intel chief in Doha, reportedly gives dossier for ICJ genocide case against Israel

Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met with Hamas leaders including Ismail Haniyeh in Doha today to discuss efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and the access of humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave, according to a Turkish security source.

Unverified posts on social media claim Haniyeh passed over a dossier to be used in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, which Turkey recently announced that it will join.

The ICJ ordered Israel in January to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts against Palestinians, after South Africa accused Israel of state-led genocide in the ongoing war in Gaza, sparked by Hamas’s October 7 massacre.

It did not find that Israel was committing genocide.
