Turkey Expels Israeli Ambassador, Suspends Military Ties over Flotilla Raid
(AP-Washington Post) Turkey says it is expelling the Israeli ambassador and cutting military ties with Israel over the country's refusal to apologize for last year's raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla. Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Friday Turkey is downgrading diplomatic ties to the level of second secretary and that the ambassador will leave Turkey by Wednesday. He also said Turkey was suspending all military agreements signed between the former allies.
