Hamas’s political office in Doha is not permanently closed

The Palestinian terror group Hamas’s political office in Doha has not been permanently closed, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said on Tuesday.

Al-Ansari said the leaders of the Hamas negotiating team were not in Doha.

This comes after reports that senior members of the Hamas leadership outside Gaza have been in Turkey in recent days, Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported on Sunday.

An American source confirmed to KAN earlier in November that Qatar had agreed to remove Hamas from its territory.

However, a Turkish diplomatic source said on Monday that reports that Hamas’s office had been moved to Turkey do not reflect the truth.

The American source spoke to KAN after an earlier message from the state broadcaster claimed that Qatar had told the terror group: “You are not welcome here.”

Moreover, Reuters had also reported that the US was pressuring Doha to oust Hamas, weeks after the terror organization rejected the latest hostage/ceasefire proposal.
