ANKARA: Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador to Ankara on Friday and
suspended all military ties with its one-time ally after a UN report
condemned excessive force used by Israel on a Gaza aid flotilla.
"Relations between Turkey and Isreal will be downgraded to second secretary level. All officials over the level of second secretary, primarily the ambassador will turn back to their country at the latest on Wednesday," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said at a press conference.
