Turkey Chooses New Ambassador to Israel
(Al-Monitor) Amberin Zaman - Turkey has selected a new ambassador to Israel in line with efforts to normalize relations. Ufuk Ulutas, 40, is chairman for the Center for Strategic Research at the Turkish Foreign Ministry. He studied Hebrew and Middle Eastern politics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. There has been no ambassador in either country since May 2018, when Turkey asked the Israeli ambassador to leave due to fighting in Gaza and the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
