Turkey downgrades ties with Israel

Ankara expels Israeli envoys and suspends military co-operation ahead of release of UN report into 2010 flotilla raid. Israel has refused Ankara's demands for an apology for the raid aboard the Mavi Marmara. Turkey has downgraded diplomatic ties with Israel and suspended military co-operation between the countries ahead of the anticipated official release of a United Nations report into Israel's deadly raid of a Gaza-bound ship. Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, announced the measures on Friday, hours before Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, was expected to formally receive the report, details of which have already been leaked to the media.
