Turkey considers recalling ambassador to Israel

Ankara may also dispatch an ambassador to Jerusalem to maintain diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority, Gül said.

May 26— Turkey is considering temporarily recalling its senior diplomat in Tel Aviv in the wake of a series of Israeli military operations targeting Palestinian refugee camps and communities, the Turkish Foreign Minister said Wednesday.

Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül said that Ankara was concerned by developments in the Middle East and may recall its ambassador to Israel for talks.“At a time when all these actions are underway and because we are so closely interested in the peace process and are considering what more we can do to revive the peace process,” he said during a joint press conference with visiting Bulgarian Foreign Minister Soloman Passy.

“In order to evaluate all these, our ambassador may come back in the next few days,” he said. “He may come, exchange views and go back again.” Gül also said it was possible Turkey may send a senior diplomat at ambassadorial level to serve in its consulate in Jerusalem, which also maintains diplomatic links with the Palestinians.

“Such things happen in practice,” Gül said. “Some countries in Europe appoint diplomats to Jerusalem who have served as ambassadors. This is possible.”

If they do it they will have my respect on this manner.
