Turkey has announced the recall of its ambassador to Israel and the breaking off of contacts with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in protest against the bloodshed in Gaza. The Turkish foreign ministry cited the "unfolding humanitarian tragedy" caused by Israel's attacks on civilians and its refusal to accept a ceasefire.
