Israel calls back diplomats from Turkey after Erdo\u011fan\u2019s fiery speech<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
Israel has recalled its diplomats from Turkey, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The recall follows a speech given on Saturday by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan at a large pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul,<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Erdo\u011fan told the crowd of demonstrators, without naming a specific country, that Western governments are the main culprit behind the \u201cmassacre\u201d in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cGiven the grave statements coming from Turkey, I have ordered the return of diplomatic representatives there in order to conduct a re-evaluation of the relations between Israel and Turkey,\u201d Cohen wrote Saturday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, according to broadcaster NTV, the Israeli ambassador to Ankara, Irit Lillian, and other embassy staff had already left the country more than a week ago.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Turkish leader said, \u201cEveryone knows that Israel is just a pawn in the region that will be sacrificed when the day comes.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Erdo\u011fan accused Israel of \u201ccommitting a war crime\u201d and Western politicians of \u201clegitimising\u201d the actions against the Palestinian coastal strip.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHow many more children, women, elderly need to die so that you can call for a ceasefire?\u201d he said, wearing a scarf in the colours of Palestinian and Turkish flags.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Erdo\u011fan has hardened his tone against Israel this week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He cancelled plans to visit Israel and called the Hamas militant group, which controls Gaza, freedom fighters not terrorists.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Turkey has a historical duty to defend the rights of Palestinians, Erdo\u011fan said, urging Israel to keep the \u201cdoor for dialogue\u201d open.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many experts believe Erdo\u011fan\u2019s harsh rhetoric against Israel is aimed at defusing domestic anger, in light of his proposed mediator role in negotiating with Hamas for the release of hostages.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Erdogan\u2019s comments stand in stark contrast to the stances of Western countries, which have offered strong support for Israel since Hamas led an attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The attack killed more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians, and took more than 220 others, both civilians and soldiers, back to Gaza as captives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even before that attack, the United States, the European Union and other countries considered Hamas a terrorist organisation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But Erdogan\u2019s criticism of Israel\u2019s response \u2013 which has included urging more than a million Gazans to flee to the seaside enclave\u2019s southern half, and a heavy bombing campaign that has heavily damaged civilian neighborhoods\u2014 reflected sentiments that have become common in parts of the Arab and Muslim worlds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Israeli bombardment has killed more than 6,500 people, according to Gaza\u2019s Hamas-run Health Ministry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Israel has vowed to eradicate Hamas and has been massing its troops on the border of Gaza for a possible ground invasion.<\/div>\n
\n

Its military says that it takes precautions to avoid killing civilians but that Hamas makes this more difficult by mixing its forces in with the civilian population.<\/p>\n

Turkey has had turbulent relations with Israel during Erdogan\u2019s two decades as its dominant politician, often tied to Erdogan\u2019s anger over the Israeli treatment of Palestinians.<\/p>\n

But recently, Erdogan made steps at rapprochement with the Jewish state.<\/p>\n

Last year, Turkey welcomed Israel\u2019s president, Isaac Herzog, in Ankara, the capital, the first such visit by an Israeli head of state since 2008.<\/p>\n

In a separate visit, the Israeli defense minister met with his Turkish counterpart, and the officials vowed to resume working relations.<\/p>\n
