Israel and Turkey Agree to Resume Full Diplomatic Ties
(New York Times) Isabel Kershner - Israel and Turkey agreed on Sunday to resume full diplomatic relations, ending a bitter, six-year rift between once-close regional allies, according to Israeli and Turkish officials. Negotiating teams for the two countries met in Rome over the weekend. Israeli minister Yuval Steinitz said that Israel and Turkey had "an interest in preventing Syria from turning into an Iranian military base" and that Israel was not easing up on Hamas by reaching an agreement with Turkey.
