Turkey Presses Israel for More to Restore Ties
(Wall Street Journal) Jay Solomon - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday that Israel needed to take further steps in order restore full diplomatic ties, including a complete lifting of economic restrictions on Palestinians in Gaza. American officials are worried the Turkish diplomat's position could lead Ankara to stall in mending ties and provide Prime Minister Erdogan with an issue to continue attacking Israel. Erdogan has said he plans to visit Gaza in May.
