The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas hailed the rapprochement between Turkey and Egypt, saying that such a step serves the Palestinian cause.
 
Ismail Haniyeh, Head of Hamas Political Bureau, said during an interview with Anadolu Agency "We welcome the Turkish-Egyptian rapprochement and believe that reaching more understandings between them and among Arab and Muslim nations will positively affect us in Palestine and the Arab states."

Haniyeh added that "any disagreement between Arab and Muslim states has negative implications on the Arab and Muslim resources, the future of peoples, and the Palestinian cause."

It is worth noting that Turkish and Egyptian officials have recently made comments about their bilateral ties as both countries have adopted stances that imply an imminent improvement in their relationship.
