Turkiye’s foreign minister expressed concerns on Tuesday about what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government might do following the freeing of the Israeli hostages in Gaza, Anadolu has reported.
“On Sunday, I had a meeting in Doha with members of the Political Bureau of Hamas,” explained Hakan Fidan at a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty in Ankara. “The movement has no hesitation about fulfilling the terms of the ceasefire agreement. However, there are questions around the world about how the Netanyahu government will behave after the release of the Israeli prisoners.”
Fidan urged the international community to take a unified stance in preventing Netanyahu from restarting what he described as “genocide” for political gain.
The minister also voiced strong opposition to any efforts to expel Palestinians from their homeland, referring to US President Trump’s proposal that they should be “transferred” to Jordan and Egypt.
