Improving Turkish-Israeli ties to strengthen regional stability: Top Israeli diplomat
ANKARA (AA) – Improving Turkish-Israeli relations will strengthen regional stability, the Israeli foreign minister said on Tuesday.
Yair Lapid’s remarks came during his visit to the Greek capital Athens, where he arrived on Tuesday for a meeting with foreign ministers of Greece, and the Greek Cypriot administration.
Referring to the “warming of relations” between Turkiye and Israel, Lapid said “it is a blessed chance whose time has come,” according to a statement by Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
“It also produces a great opportunity to deepen our ties and strengthen regional stability,” he also noted.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier called the March 9 visit of his Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog to the Turkish capital Ankara “a new turning point.”
Expressing his appreciation for Herzog’s visit to Turkiye, Erdogan said strengthening the ties with Israel is of great importance for regional stability and peace as well as for the two countries.
