Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the UN is “finished” after failing to act against Israel’s use of lethal force against Palestinians demonstrating as part of the ‘Great March of Return.’
Mr Erdogan said the UN “collapsed” in the face of the crisis and accused Israel of “tyranny” while promising to evacuate the injured from Gaza.
Turkey and South Africa have both recalled their ambassadors to Israel, with Turkey also temporarily expelling their Israeli ambassador.
