TEHRAN, Oct. 29 (MNA) – Turkey has responded after the Israeli regime’s foreign minister said he was withdrawing diplomats and planning a “reevaluation” of the relationship with Ankara on Saturday.

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the Israeli regime “cannot even tolerate criticism and condemnation” even as it commits “a crime against humanity in front of the whole world”.

The ministry also responded to accusations of anti-Semitism against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by Zionist officials, describing them as “baseless” and stressing that Turkey is a “safe haven” for Jewish people, Al Jazeera reported.

Israeli regime’s ambassador to the UN earlier claimed that Erdogan “remains an anti-Semite”.

On Saturday, Erdogan addressed hundreds of thousands of people at a pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul. He said that the Israeli regime would not last even 3 days without the support of Western countries.
