A Palestinian who broke into the Turkish Embassy in Israel trying to take hostages and demanding asylum was turned over to Israeli authorities late Tuesday, ending a tense standoff.
"I am in touch with the consul all the time by cell phone, and nothing happened to them. They're OK," he said.
"I have two hostages," he said in Hebrew. "I will blow up the embassy. . . . If they don't let me leave this country now, I will burn down the whole building. I will burn everything. I will burn the cars; the doors, I will break down the doors. I will break everything."
