Haniyeh family denies reports relatives left Gaza after Turkish request

The family of the late Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has denied reports that their relatives were permitted to leave the Gaza Strip. Haniyeh's eldest son, Abdul Salam Haniyeh, stated that no family members have left or are planning to leave, calling the news incorrect. The denial follows earlier reports that Israel had allowed 66 Palestinians and Turkish citizens to leave Gaza following a request from the Turkish government. This reported deal was said to be part of a bilateral arrangement between Israel and Turkey after a recent ceasefire agreement.
