Pro-Palestinian crowds try to storm air base housing U.S. troops in Turkey
- Pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with police outside a US military base in Turkey prior to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit. Tear gas and water cannons were used to disperse the crowds waving Turkish and Palestinian flags.
- The protest, organized by the IHH humanitarian relief fund, called for the closure of the Incirlik Air Base, which houses US troops supporting the coalition against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Turkey has been critical of Israel's actions and supports a two-state solution for Palestine.
- Blinken, currently on a Middle East tour, has been meeting with Arab leaders to discuss the Gaza crisis. However, Turkish President Erdogan is unlikely to meet with him.
