Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israeli shelling of the region, skynews.com reports.

Turkey’s foreign ministry issued a statement saying that the ambassador to Tel Aviv, Sakir Ozkan, has been recalled to Ankara “for consultations”.

Israel’s envoys to Turkey left the country last month for security reasons.

On Saturday morning returning from Astana o Erdogan said while talking to journalists that Turkey is no longer talking to Netanyahu: “Let me tell you this, Netanyahu is no longer someone we can talk to. We deleted him and threw him away”.

The Turkish president continued by repeating that everyone owes Israel, but Turkey does not: “They all owe Israel a debt. But Turkey owes Israel nothing. There is no clearer statement than this. Now Germany cannot repay its debt. It is very clear. Others are just like that. Some politicians there, where our law is very advanced, say ‘we owe a debt to Israel, clearly we are paying that debt’. I won’t mention names. A German politician, with whom I am very frank, says: ‘We are in debt’. There is the Holocaust. Now they are paying their debt.”
