Erdogan says Turkey could suspend UAE ties due to its deal with Israel

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey could suspend diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates after a landmark deal between Israel and Abu Dhabi.

“I gave an order to the foreign minister. I said we could suspend diplomatic relations with the Abu Dhabi administration or withdraw our ambassador,” Erdogan tells reporters.

In the deal, Israel pledged to suspend its planned annexation of parts of the West Bank in exchange for a normalization of ties with the UAE.
