After Turkey announces it is recalling its ambassador to Israel amid the ongoing war against Hamas, the Foreign Ministry accuses Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of siding with the Gaza-ruling terror group.

The ministry also defends Israeli military operations in Gaza as “a war of self-defense” and calls Hamas “the true enemy of the Palestinian people.”
