Turkey has condemned remarks made by Israel's defense minister about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to a report by the Turkish news agency Anadolu.
A Turkish communications official responded by saying that the "Israeli government's actions in Gaza continue to face serious allegations, scrutiny from the international community and under international law," according to the report.
The exact content of the Israeli defense minister's original remarks about Erdogan was not detailed in the available summary.
