Turkey Looking to Return to Previous Allied Status with Israel

(Friday, March 27th, 2009)

Despite his vehement anti-Israel remarks following Operation Cast Lead, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has indicated a willingness to return to his former role of mediator in talks between Israel and Syria.

He stated that if the incoming Israeli administration wishes to resume the mediated talks, he would do his best to make it happen.

As recently as January, Erdogan angrily left the Davos Economic Summit during President Shimon Peres’ remarks, accusing Israel of massacring innocent Gaza residents and perpetrating war crimes against the residents of Gaza.
