The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) chief Ibrahim Kalın met with senior Hamas officials in Ankara to discuss the next phase of the Gaza cease-fire agreement and ongoing efforts to secure a lasting truce, security sources said Monday.
According to the sources, Kalin held talks with Mohammed Darwish, chair of Hamas' Shura Council, and members of the group's political bureau.
During the meeting, Hamas representatives said they had complied with the terms of the cease-fire and briefed Kalın on what they described as Israeli violations of the agreement.
The talks also addressed Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip during the Eid al-Adha holiday and Türkiye's efforts, as a guarantor country, to support the implementation of the cease-fire.
Participants discussed possible steps to prevent further violations and emphasized the need to oppose policies aimed at occupation and destabilization across the region, particularly in Jerusalem, the sources said.
