erdogan says the right things about israel and Gaza but then does the exact opposite actions.
There are 2 parts of Hamas. There is the political and negotiating side and there is the armed resistance. They don't always walk in lock step. The leadership council are mostly based in Qatar and have often been criticized for being mealy mouthed and self serving, similar to how the PLO was taken over collaborators who became the "Palestinian" Authority.
This statement is basically a Liberal Hamas official glazing erdogan for consumption by Turkey's voters in exchange for something. That something is just as likely for the Leadership Council's personal benefit as it is for the benefit fro Palestinians.
