Turkey restores diplomatic ties with Israel after four cold years | Abroad

Turkey has appointed an ambassador to Israel, restoring diplomatic ties with the Jewish state after four years.

Ankara recalled its ambassador in 2018 after the Israeli army killed dozens of Palestinians. Jerusalem responded by sending home the Turkish consul in the country as well.

Ties between the two countries soured after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies towards Palestinians.

Netanyahu is now prime minister again, but Erdogan congratulated him on his election victory in a letter earlier this month.
