President Erdogan has told Turkish FM to evaluate the possibility of recalling Ambassador from Abu Dhabi and suspending diplomatic ties with UAE over normalisation of ties with Israel which he termed to be a betrayal of Palestinian cause.
Turkey has also declared UAE backed former Palestinian fixer Mohammed Dahlan as a terrorist and fixed a bounty of $ 1.7 Million. He is allegedly involved in the failed coup against Erdogan and revealed state as well as military secrets to UAE and its partners in espionage.
