Israel withdrew all its diplomats from Turkey on Thursday, including Ambassador Irit Lillian, multiple sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Israel's National Security Council issued a travel warning to Turkey on Tuesday, citing fears that Israeli travelers could be targeted. He called on all Israeli citizens in Turkey to leave as soon as possible after raising his travel advisory to the highest level.
Three sources familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye that the diplomats left on Thursday because of security concerns and not because of a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.
One source noted that the advice from Israel's National Security Council did not distinguish between diplomats and ordinary Israeli citizens and had called for all Israelis to leave. However, there is a possibility that President Erdoğan's comments are one of the reasons for the withdrawal of the diplomatic corps.
