ANKARA, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag announced Monday night three days of mourning over Palestinian killings by Israeli forces.
As the Rotating Chairman of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Turkey has called for an emergency meeting held on Friday, Bozdag said after a Council of Ministers meeting in the capital Ankara.
He slammed that the United States move to open embassy in Jerusalem had violated UN Security Council resolutions.
Ankara on the same day recalled Turkish envoys in Tel Aviv and Washington for consultations, according to Deputy Prime Minister.
The state-run Anadolu Agency reported Turkey will organize a mass rally in Istanbul on Friday to show solidarity with Palestinian people, citing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks in London.
At least 55 Palestinians were killed and over 2,700 others wounded in clashes with Israeli security troops Monday on the border between Israel and Gaza, amid mass demonstrations to protest over the U.S. move of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
