Foreign Minister Eli Cohen calls for a reassessment of diplomatic ties with Turkey, citing the “harsh” criticism by Turkish leaders of Israel’s military offensive against Hamas.

Cohen says he’s ordered Israeli diplomats stationed in Turkey to return to Israel.

Last week, Israel recalled its diplomats from the country as it also called on Israeli citizens to leave due to terror threats.
