The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel decided to start evacuating family members of Israeli diplomats from Turkey. The decision was adopted due to danger, which may threaten them now, but largely due to unpredictability of behavior of the Turkish leaders, who intentionally inflame the anti-Israeli hysteria, what may lead to drastic worsening of the situation at any point.

The diplomatic mission itself will remain in Turkey. And the level of diplomatic relations with this country will not be lowered by Israel, despite the evident hostile policy of the Turkish leaders.
