Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Friday summoned Turkish deputy ambassador for reprimand after the country's embassy in Tel Aviv lowered its flag to half-mast in sign of mourning for the slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

"Israel will not accept expressions of participation in mourning for a murderer like Ismail Haniyeh," Katz stressed in a statement. "If embassy representatives want to mourn, let them go to Turkey and mourn together with their master Erdogan, who embraces the terrorist organization Hamas and supports its murderous acts," he added.

Additionally, Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a post on X that Turkish embassy representatives in Israel "are welcome to lower the flag completely and return home."
