Egypt summons Turkish envoy over Gaza criticism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s foreign ministry summons Turkey’s charge d’affaires over criticism of Cairo’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas in neighboring Gaza.
Turkey and Egypt withdrew their ambassadors last year after the military ousted Egyptian Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, who had forged closer ties with Turkey’s devout premier, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan on Friday called Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi a tyrant, saying Cairo could not be relied upon to negotiate a truce with Israel.
