Turkey has withdrawn an invitation extended to Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz for an international diplomacy conference hosted in Antalya in June following the recent attacks on Palestinians by Israeli security forces.
Turkish news agency Anadolu reported on Tuesday that the Turkish government decided to cancel the invitation due to “Israeli mistreatment to the Palestinians".
Had Steinitz decided to attend the event, it would have been the first such high-level visit to Turkey by an Israeli official in years.
