We reported earlier that the Turkish embassy has flown its flag at half-mast, as the funeral of assassinated Hamas political head Ismail Haniyeh takes place in Doha.
Israel’s foreign minister, Isreal Katz, says on X that he ordered the summoning of Turkey’s deputy ambassador to Israel for a “stern reprimand” over the incident.
“The State of Israel will not accept expressions of participation in mourning for a murderer like Ismail Haniyeh who was the head of the Hamas terrorist organization”, Katz wrote.
Flying official flags at half-mast is seen as a sign of respect, usually marking sombre occasions."
