TL;DR Summary

Israel has recalled its diplomats from Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of behaving like a "war criminal" during a pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul. The Israeli Foreign Minister ordered the diplomats to return in response to Erdogan's comments. The strained relations between the two countries have a history of tension, including the 2010 incident where Turkey broke off diplomatic ties with Israel after clashes between Israeli commandos and pro-Palestinian Turkish activists. Turkey does not consider Hamas a terrorist organization and supports a two-state solution.
