Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh arrived in Turkey on Sunday, the Palestinian group said.
The visit is the first leg in a foreign tour that will also take Haniyeh to Malaysia, Russia, Qatar, Lebanon, Mauritania, and Kuwait.
A Hamas source said Haniyeh and his accompanying delegation arrived in Istanbul at dawn.
The foreign tour is the first by Haniyeh since he was elected leader of Hamas in 2017.
A Palestinian source told Anadolu Agency on Saturday that Haniyeh had obtained permission from Egyptian authorities to conduct the tour during his recent visit to Cairo.
