US Ambassador to Turkey summoned to Washington after alleged diplomatic incident

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer claims US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barak was summoned to Washington for consultations after allegedly causing an international incident that nearly sparked conflict between Turkey, Israel, and Syria. Loomer states Barak falsely accused Israel of illegally occupying the Golan Heights over the weekend. She cites a State Department source saying officials want Barak removed, and suggests he may not return to Turkey. In diplomatic terms, being called for "consultations" typically indicates an official is facing reprimand from superiors.
