On May 13, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that over 1,000 members of the militant Palestinian group Hamas are receiving treatment in hospitals across Turkey. Erdogan reiterated his stance that Hamas is a 'resistance movement' and not a terrorist organization. This statement came during a press conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who expressed disagreement with Erdogan's view, stating, 'Let's agree to disagree.' Erdogan's comments have sparked controversy, with some sources suggesting he misspoke and meant to refer to Palestinian civilians from Gaza rather than Hamas members.
