Reconciliation with Turkey seemingly imminent
- 8 years ago
Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reported Monday that Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stated, in a cabinet meeting attended by President Erdogan, that the Israeli and Turkish governments were nearing a reconciliation agreement.
He added that "Israel and Turkey will publish a statement about this in the coming days."
The two countries have been negotiating fervently for the past few months, attempting to put behind them the enmity they've shared since the Mavi Marmara incident in mid-2010.
Two weeks ago, a spokesperson for Turkish ruling party AKP spoke positively of the talks, but clarified that the sides had not yet reached an agreement.
Current Mossad Director Yossi Cohen was spotted traveling to Turkey in January, while he was still serving as a national security consultant, alongside Prime Minister Netanyahu's advisor for Turkish affairs Yossi Ciechanover.
