Israel and Turkey to normalise ties

  • 8 years ago
After three years of talks Israel and Turkey have reportedly agreed to restore ties.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment on the announcement which was made by a senior Israeli official travelling in Rome with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

They’ve been encouraged by Washington, to end a rift over the Israeli navy’s killing of 10 Turkish pro-Palestinian activists who tried to sail to the blockaded Gaza Strip in 2010.

An official announcement on the normalisation of full ties is expected on Monday.
