Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday met with Hamas political bureau officials in Ankara to discuss the ceasefire in Gaza and advancing the agreement to its second phase, a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said.
The source said the Hamas officials told Fidan that they had fulfilled their requirements as part of the ceasefire deal, but that Israel's continued targeting of Gaza aimed to prevent the agreement from moving to the next phase.
The Hamas members also said humanitarian aid entering Gaza was not sufficient, and that goods like medication, equipment for housing, and fuel were needed, the source added.

Turkey has drawn up plans to deal with a potential inflow of people fleeing the war in neighbouring Iran, Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said on Wednesday, with preparations including possible buffer zones along the frontier and tent camps.
A ballistic missile fired from Iran was intercepted and destroyed by NATO air and missile defense systems in the eastern Mediterranean Sea after passing through Syrian and Iraqi airspace and entering Turkish territory, the Turkish Defense Ministry announced Wednesday.
Pedro Sanchez has once again chosen to place himself firmly on the wrong side of history, doubling down Wednesday on his refusal to support the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran, threatening the cohesion of NATO and exposing himself as the Western leader most willing to provide diplomatic cover for a theocratic regime that has spent decades sponsoring terrorism across the globe.
