Palestinian protests on the Gaza-Israel border have dropped off over the past two days. This comes amid reports that Egyptian officials intervened to restore calm after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire. But Hamas denies it's under pressure from neighboring Egypt and says they will continue to demonstrate. The bloodiest clashes in years have created a diplomatic crisis. The Palestinian Authority has withdrawn its envoy from Washington. And Turkey and Israel expelled each other's ambassadors. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the UN of not playing its due role in the face of Gaza violence.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN TURKISH PRESIDENT "In the face of all these events, the United Nations has ended. It has become exhausted and collapsed because the United Nations exists to have justice prevail. Even though our relationship with the secretary general is very advanced, we still can not reach him. If Israel's bullying is met with more silence, the world will rapidly be dragged into chaos where thuggery prevails."
