GAZA-ANKARA DIALOGUE
Intelligence chief of Turkey and Hamas official deliberate truce negotiations
The top man at Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT), Ibrahim Kalın, chatted it up with Hamas' Deputy Chief, Khalil al-Hayya, on June 1 - all about the ongoing ceasefire peace talks in Gaza.
Their convo focused on pushing for immediate humanitarian aid deliveries, halting the senseless violence, and chaos wrecking havoc in Gaza. Turkey's dedication to supporting the Palestinian people was clearly communicated, along with the dire need for a heat-sealing prisoner exchange and a long-term ceasefire.
The US, Qatar, and Egypt-led negotiations were given top priority, with Kalın straight-up calling for the global community to apply more heat to Israel to put an end to the humanitarian mess in Gaza.
The ceasefire dialogues seemed to hit a bump over the weekend when Hamas stated they'd requested modifications to a US ceasefire proposal that had already been given a thumbs-up by Israel.
