Sources from Türkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs have denied reports claiming that the Hamas Political Bureau has relocated to Türkiye.

‘Allegations do not reflect truth’

The Turkish Foreign Ministry clarified that while members of the Hamas Political Bureau occasionally visit the country, the assertion that the bureau has moved its headquarters to Türkiye is unfounded.

“Members of the Hamas Political Bureau visit Türkiye from time to time. The allegations that the Hamas Political Bureau has moved to Türkiye do not reflect the truth,” Foreign Ministry sources stated.

Hamas visits Türkiye, no permanent relocation

The Foreign Ministry’s sources emphasized that members of Hamas’ leadership do make periodic visits to Türkiye, but there is no permanent presence or relocation of the group’s political bureau.

The clarification follows recent media speculation regarding Hamas’ operations and its leadership activities within Türkiye.
