Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and the leader of the Hamas terror organisation Ismail Haniyeh held joint meetings in Ankara on Wednesday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Abbas and Haniyeh met together with Erdoğan behind closed doors, according to the Turkish leader’s office.
Palestinian media said the talks aimed to forge unity between Abbas’s Fatah faction, which predominately rules in Palestinian-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria, and the Gaza Strip-based terrorist group.
Erdoğan said that ongoing divisions among the Palestinian leadership were playing into the hands of those “who want to undermine peace.”
