Qatar and Turkey to host Palestinians freed in ceasefire: Report

Qatar and Turkey are expected to host Palestinians released from Israeli prisons as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Middle East Eye reported.

The Palestinians will be those who Israel charged with murder. They have already been deported to Egypt, according to The Times of Israel.

Egypt is hosting 70 Palestinians freed in the ceasefire and they are now residing in Cairo.

Turkey has agreed to take in around 15 of those Palestinians and Qatar is expected to take in the remainder.

Meanwhile, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday hosted a Hamas delegation led by senior Hamas official Muhammad Ismail Darwish in Ankara, Erdogan’s office says in a statement.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin also attended the meeting.
