Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country will "continue to utilise all political, diplomatic, military means necessary" in response to the current Israeli assault in Gaza.
In a speech to his party's lawmakers in parliament, Erdogan said Israel had taken advantage of Turkey's good intentions and that he will not go to Israel as previously planned.
He also said Hamas was not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group waging a battle to protect its land.
