Turkey to Inspect Mughrabi Gate Excavation
[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed Thursday to let a Turkish delegation inspect excavations at the Mughrabi Gate, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday after a meeting between the two in Ankara. Israel's Ambassador to Turkey Pinhas Avivi said the team would be made up of officials from the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv. Olmert said that anyone who wanted to come look at the work taking place at the site was invited to do so, and that Israel had "nothing to hide." "As a modern Muslim country, Turkey can play a role building ties between Israel and Muslim countries that do not have relations with Israel," Olmert added.
