Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar traveled to Turkey — where an Arab official told The Times of Israel senior Hamas figures are now being hosted — over the weekend for talks with his counterpart Ibrahim Kalin, the Walla news site reports.

Citing sources involved in the matter, the report says the pair discussed efforts to restart the Gaza ceasefire-hostage talks and the possibility of Turkish assistance.
