    Turkey, Hamas discuss Gaza ceasefire deal’s second phase, Turkish source says

    -

    ANKARA, Dec ​24 (Reuters) - 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.
