Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday condemned as “unacceptable” Israel’s deadline for civilians to evacuate north Gaza.

“To force the population of Gaza to migrate in 24 hours is unacceptable,” said Erdogan, who has already criticised Israel’s military response to the deadly attack this weekend by Hamas militants.
