Israel says diplomatic ties with Türkiye remain unchanged
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israel claimed on Sunday that there was no change in diplomatic relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv despite the latest developments in Gaza.
“Diplomatic relations with Türkiye remain unchanged despite the position taken by Ankara on the war in Gaza and the fact that the Turkish ambassador was recalled over the weekend,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Hayat told Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
“We have to rethink how we prevent such a crisis,” Hayat added.
Türkiye said on Saturday that it had recalled its ambassador to Tel Aviv for consultations amid Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
The Israeli army has widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the surprise offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7.
The death toll from Israeli bombardments in the Gaza Strip has risen to 9,770, including 3,900 children and 2,509 women, the government media office in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday.
Nearly 1,540 Israelis have also died in the conflict.
