Turkey says it has evacuated 30 Turkish citizens from Israel
The Turkish government says it has successfully evacuated 30 citizens out of Israel.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, speaking to reporters alongside his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry, says there are roughly 300 people with dual Turkish-Israeli citizenship in Gaza. He reiterated Turkey’s condemnation of “any attack aimed at innocent civilians.”
The Israeli Embassy in Turkey announced on social media Thursday that one Turkish citizen had been killed in Hamas’s attack and that another citizen could not be reached.
