Turkish students in the city of Trabzon on Wednesday hurled rotten eggs at Israeli ambassador to Turkey Gabby Levy during his visit to the Black Sea university in protest at the war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip.

The students attacked Levy’s car the moment it arrived in front of the university administration and chanted slogans condemning Israeli officials as killers of children.

The university guards tried to calm the angry students, but they continued their protest forcing the Israeli ambassador to cancel his visit and leave the campus.

The Turkish mayor of Rize city strongly criticized on Tuesday levy during his visit to the municipal building, saying that the peace in the region cannot be achieved through the murder of children.

The mayor also told levy that the Turkish people would never change their position against the Israelis unless Israel changed its policy of occupation and aggression.
