Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Israel is testing Turkey’s patience by threatening nuclear weapons.
“They (Israel. – RT) are testing our patience with their illusions about the promised land, which includes the territories of our country, as well as threats to use nuclear weapons,” TRT Haber quoted him as saying.
Earlier it became known that Turkey recalls its ambassador in Tel Aviv to Ankara for consultations against the background of the actions of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the withdrawal of the Turkish ambassador from Tel Aviv puts Ankara one step closer to supporting the Palestinian Hamas movement.
