The presidents of Turkey and Israel vowed to build on a nascent thaw in relations in Ankara on Wednesday, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine provides the latest geopolitical impetus for better ties.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the visit of his Israeli counterpart, Isaac Herzog, would be a “turning point” in relations. “Our common goal is to revive political dialogue between our countries based on respect for mutual sensitivities and interests. That is critical for regional peace,” Erdogan said.
