Hamas shifts covert organizational units, activities to Turkey following Qatari crackdown

Hamas is reportedly shifting many of its covert operations, including planning and cyber departments, to Turkey after facing restrictions in Qatar. Palestinian sources indicate that while Qatar continues to host Hamas's leadership and public-facing activities, Turkey is now hosting more operational aspects of the group. This shift follows Qatar's disapproval of Hamas's choice of new leader, Khalil al-Hayya, whom they favored over Khaled Meshaal. Al-Hayya, who is based in Qatar, recently met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, where Turkey reaffirmed its support for the 'just cause' of the Palestinians. The move reflects broader geopolitical dynamics involving Hamas, Qatar, and Turkey.
