Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has publicly supported Hamas and urged Palestinian unity against Israel, amidst speculations about the group's potential relocation from Qatar. Erdogan's welcoming of Hamas leaders in Turkey with affectionate gestures underscores his backing. Despite rumors that Qatar asked Hamas leaders to leave, both Hamas and Qatar have denied these claims, with Qatar stating the group's presence in Doha remains justified due to its role in mediation efforts in the Gaza conflict, and will remain as long as it is useful for mediation.
