Turkey said on Wednesday that its decision to restore full diplomatic relations with Israel after a decade of tensions did not mean that it would abandon its support for Palestinians.

"We are not giving up on the Palestinian cause," Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters. "It is important for our messages to be conveyed directly through the ambassador (on the Palestinian issue)."
