Palestinian premier in Gaza Ismail Hanneya announced on Friday night that Turkish premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan is planning to visit Gaza by mid April.
Haneyya, in a statement at a Hamas-organized rally west of Gaza, said that Erdogan had also phoned Khaled Mishaal, the political bureau chairman of Hamas, and told him of Israel’s acceptance to its demands of apology, compensation, and lifting Gaza blockade so as to restore relations after the Israeli deadly attack on Mavi Marmara aid ship.
The premier, who was speaking at the rally held on the 9th anniversary of Israel’s assassination of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, said that Israel had failed in its goal of assassinating Yassin mainly to wipe out his legacy, principles, and steadfastness amongst the Palestinian people.
