Early Saturday morning, ynet reported that a Turkish citizen was arrested in the UK on suspicion of cooperating with Hamas while operating under the guise of providing humanitarian aid. No further details on the suspect or the specific allegations have been released.
The Zioneer has previously covered related counter-terror arrests abroad: in June, Costa Rica arrested a person with alleged Hamas ties, and a Greek court ordered a Palestinian suspect held for trial over an alleged plot to attack Israelis. Turkey has also been a focal point for Hamas political activities, as noted in The Zioneer's topic page.
