A Turkish diplomatic source stated on Monday that media reports about the transfer of Hamas's political bureau to Turkey are not true, but added that members of the Hamas movement occasionally visit Turkey. Qatar, which hosts the Hamas political bureau in Doha, also denied the reports as "inaccurate." The reports claimed that Qatar had ordered senior Hamas officials to leave the country.
