This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel Katz shared a photo on X which showed Erdoğan shaking hands with Ismail Haniyeh at a presidential office in Istanbul over the weekend, writing that the Turkish president “should be ashamed”.
Erdoğan met Haniyeh alongside key members of his cabinet and Sameh Shoukry, the Egyptian foreign minister, to discuss Israeli attacks on Gaza and efforts to calm tensions across the region, according to the Turkish presidential office.
Erdoğan and Shoukry expressed concern during the meeting that recent drone attacks between Israel and Iran could divert international attention from suffering on the ground in Gaza, where 34,000 people have been killed by Israeli bombardments since 7 October.
The meeting also underscored a regional realignment taking place amid Israel’s attacks on Gaza after an unprecedented assault by Hamas on Israeli towns and kibbutzim in which 1,200 were killed and 250 were taken hostage.
A flotilla of three ships carrying hundreds of activists, journalists and aid is due to leave Turkish waters in the coming days and sail to Gaza, reprising an identical effort from 2010.
Early on Friday, explosions echoed over the Iranian city of Isfahan in what sources said was an Israeli attack, but Tehran played down the incident and said it had no plans for retaliation – a response that appeared gauged towards averting region-wide war.
