The Israeli Consulate in Ankara raised the security alert for Israelis in Turkey to the highest level.
The Israeli National Security Council justified the departure request by “increasing threats against Israelis abroad,” warning Israelis against traveling to Turkey.
The Israeli embassies in Jordan, Turkey, France, the United States, and Lebanon were subjected to an angry popular march in protest against the crime of the Israeli bombing of the “Al-Maamdani” Hospital in Gaza.
