Considering that Turkey is/was probably the most “pro-Israeli” Muslim country this is a pretty significant move.

So far more than 80% of them have resigned.

Turks have excellent reasons to be pro-Israel, given historically what the Arabs did to them. Infact, in that light, no sensible so-called "Islamic" country should be supportive of any "Arab" causes.

Yes, and that is why this show of solidarity by the Turkish parliamentarian’s with Hezbollah is even more significant.
