Some news outlets have published a news story claiming that a Hamas delegation met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Despite the fact that delegations from Hamas had previously met with Erdogan and senior Turkish officials, Hamas does not officially announce having such meetings.

Thus, the news circulated by some news outlets regarding such alleged meeting are baseless.

We hope that news outlets, that we respect and whose role we appreciate, will obtain information concerning the movement’s activities from its official sources.
