Hamas political leader Imsail Haniyeh will meet Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday with Middle East tensions at a high after Israel's reported attack on Iran and Gaza bracing for a new Israeli offensive. "Haniyeh sees Erdogan as a man with a voice in Washington and in Europe," FRANCE 24's Jasper Mortimer said, adding that Erdogan who "likened Israel to Nazi Germany" has, however, "no chance of mediating between Hamas and Israel".
