This delicate state of affairs is liable to deteriorate into violent outbreaks against Israelis in Turkey," the warning said.

"Israelis due to leave for Turkey should – at this stage – refrain from traveling until the situation becomes clear," the statement added."Israelis currently in Turkey should remain in their places of residence, avoid city centers and sites in which demonstrations are being held, and monitor developments out of concern that the situation could worsen."
