Jordan Daily – The Biden administration has warned Turkey against hosting members of Hamas’ leadership, after reports emerged that several senior members of Hamas left Qatar for Ankara last week.
Asked about reports that the Turkish government was hosting the leadership of the organisation’s political wing, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters he was not in a position to dispute the claim.
“We don’t believe the leaders of a vicious terrorist organisation should be living comfortably anywhere,” Miller said, adding that this especially applies in the Turkish capital – a “major city of one of our key allies and partners”.
Israel’s public broadcaster Kan said that Hamas members departed from Doha to Ankara after the Qatari government announced it was walking away from its previous efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
