Turkey-Israel conflict: In a major announcement that could change the global dynamics, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced this week that Turkey has severed all ties with Israel.
Under the president’s watch, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to describe any foreign policy portfolio that has furthered the country’s national interest.
Turkey's foreign ministry said Sunday it had submitted a letter to the United Nations, signed by 52 countries and two organisations, calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel.
