Turkey cuts diplomatic ties with Israel amid Gaza conflict tensions

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced the complete severance of diplomatic relations with Israel. He stated that Turkey will not develop ties with Israel, marking a significant shift in their relationship. This decision follows protests in London, where demonstrators called for an oil embargo on Israel due to its actions in Gaza. Despite the severance, Turkish diplomatic missions in Tel Aviv will remain open. Erdogan's announcement represents a notable change in Turkey's foreign policy towards Israel, reflecting growing tensions over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
