Turkey has urged Islamic countries to review their ties with Israel after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire on the Gaza border.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told his ruling party in parliament that Ankara would call an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

"Islamic countries should without fail review their relations with Israel," Premier Yildirim said, adding, “The Islamic world should move as one, with one voice, against this massacre."

Yildirim said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who currently holds the rotating chairmanship of the body, called the OIC summit on Friday.

Yildirim said that after the summit at 3:00 pm a giant rally would be held at the vast Yenikapi meeting area in Istanbul under the slogan of "Stop the Oppression" to express solidarity with the Palestinians.

Turkish President accuses Israel of 'genocide'

President Erdogan later in a speech broadcast on Turkish state television accused Israel of carrying out a "genocide" as nearly 60 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in one day of protests.

The Turkish president accused Israel of being a "terrorist" entity and announced he would pull ambassadors out of Israel and the US.

“What Israel has done is genocide," the Turkish president said, adding, "I condemn this humanitarian drama, the genocide, from whichever side it comes, Israel or America.”

He added: “We will continue to stand with Palestinian people with determination."

Geopolitically, it appears Turkey is moving away from the USA/NATO, and closer to Russia/Iran/Syria.

Also, the USA doesn't like that Turkey is purchasing weapons from Russia.

Is there a geopolitical tide turning in the middle east against Zionist hegemony? Is Turkey going to pull out of NATO? Did the Russians offer Turkey a deal that they couldn't refuse?
