Israel has revealed a Hamas money-exchange network operating in Turkey, allegedly directed by Iran. According to the IDF and ISA, exiled Gazans in Turkey have been using the country's financial infrastructure to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas. The network reportedly cooperates with Iran to fund Hamas and rebuild its capabilities outside of Gaza. Israel identified three Gazan operatives in Turkey as central to the network, which receives, stores, and transfers Iranian funds. The revelation comes amid debate over Turkey's regional role and relationship with Hamas, as Turkey seeks a role in postwar Gaza. Experts suggest Turkey's political protection of Hamas has created a sanctuary for the group's financial activities.
