The Foreign Ministry summoned Israeli Ambassador Eitan Naeh and told him it would be "appropriate" for him to return to his country "for a while."

 

Along the same line, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having the “blood of Palestinians on his hands" following indiscriminate killings by Israeli forces in the besieged Gaza Strip. 

 

“Netanyahu is the PM of an apartheid state that has occupied a defenseless people's lands for 60 yrs in violation of UN resolutions,” Erdogan tweeted.

 

Thousands of Palestinians have gathered on Gaza Strip’s eastern border since Monday morning to take part in protests aimed to commemorate the Nakba anniversary and protest relocating of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

 

Since the border rallies began on March 30, more than 60 Palestinian demonstrators have been martyred by cross-border Israeli gunfire, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
