Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Haniyeh on Saturday in Turkey, the sources said. The source said that during the meeting, the two sides also discussed “increasing humanitarian aid… and a two-state solution for a permanent peace”. Fidan and Haniyeh last had official contact in a phone call on October 16.
