Israel's ambassador to Turkey Eitan Na'eh came under fire by hundreds of Turkish social media users after posting a provocative message about Palestinian protesters on his official Twitter account on Monday.

Na'eh was asked to leave Turkey indefinitely by the Turkish ministry of foreign affairs following the Israeli bloodshed and his tweets.

"Hamas' so-called peaceful protests are provoked and manipulated with a hatred-filled and murderous ideology," Na'eh's tweet read, adding that Israel will not allow "murderer rebels" to enter "its lands."

Na'eh's tweet came shortly after Israeli soldiers killed at least 59 Palestinians, including an 8-month-old baby near the Gaza border, in protests against the inauguration of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
