Using his Twitter account, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Israel's ground operation is testing "the conscience of humanity."
Davutoglu called for emergency meetings of the U.N. Security Council, the U.N. Human Rights Council and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
Turkish legislators leaving a late-night debate in parliament also protested against Israel. Turkey's foreign minister has "vehemently" condemned Israel's ground invasion of Gaza.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly spoken out against Israel's bombardment of Gaza and said the operations are derailing Turkish and Israeli efforts to mend ties.
