Hamas, on Wednesday, said its chief, Ismail Haniyeh, held talks with Qatari, Egyptian and Turkish officials to review developments regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, where Israel continues its air and ground attacks for nearly nine months, Anadolu Agency reports.

Haniyeh also spoke “with officials in Turkiye regarding the recent developments”, the readout said, adding that the group has “engaged positively”.
Israel has killed nearly 38,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since a 7 October, 2023 cross-border attack by Hamas that claimed 1,200 lives and took around 250 as hostages. The military onslaught has left the coastal enclave in ruins.
However, since then, it has been revealed by Haaretz that helicopters and tanks of the Israeli army had, in fact, killed many of the 1,139 soldiers and civilians claimed by Israel to have been killed by the Palestinian Resistance.
