Turkish and Israeli envoys rebuild ties
By Simon Rocker
Israel and Turkey’s ambassadors to the UK put aside the friction between
their two countries over the past year by sharing a joint platform in
London on Monday.
Israeli envoy Ron Prosor gave his Turkish counterpart Yigit Alpogan a
friendly pat on the back after a well-attended meeting in Westminster
jointly hosted by the Conservative Friends of Israel and Conservative
Friends of Turkey.
Mr Prosor said the event was “testimony to the significance of the
relationship between Israel and Turkey and the magnitude of the shared
interests and values we hold together”.
Israel’s intervention in Gaza nearly a year ago led to a sharp response
from Turkey: Prime Minister Recep Erdogan publicly challenged Israeli
President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in January. In
October, the Israelis were angry at being excluded by Turkey from a
joint military exercise with Nato.
But Israeli Trade Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer’s visit to Turkey last
week indicated a move to try to restore the two countries’ traditionally
warm relations.
Ertan Hürer, co-founder of CFT, who is a Conservative councillor in
Enfield, north London, said: “If there happens to be friction between
overseas governments, we hope to facilitate dialogue.”
The meeting, he explained, grew out of the fact that the two friends’
groups “for the past two years have had stands side by side at the
Conservative party conference and we’ve exchanged wine and baklava”.
CFI chairman Richard Harrington, whose wife Jessie comes from Turkey,
said the meeting was “very significant and shows people can be brought
together by the Conservative Party”.
Mr Alpogan said that Turkey had always stood against antisemitism, had
been a country of asylum for persecuted Jews and was “the sole member of
the Muslim world that has maintained uninterrupted relations with the
state of Israel since its inception”.
He also emphasised the countries’ common values as democracies.
The Turkish envoy said that there was “a resumed interest on the part of
Syria to resume the talks with Israel” in which Turkey had been acting
as a mediator.
Only days before Israel’s operation in Gaza, the Syrians were just “one
or two words” away from agreeing a joint text, he said.
But Mr Prosor believed the suggestion of a breakthrough with Syria was
“a bit of a dramatisation”.
Despite praising Turkey’s diplomatic skills and knowledge of the Middle
East, he said that many in Israel would “think twice” about it resuming
its intermediary role with Syria for fear this might jeopardise
Israel-Turkish bilateral ties.

Non mi fido di Israele figurati se posso fidarmi della Turchia...

D'altronde, se la geopolitica ha un senso, gli amici islamisti di Ankara 
dovranno rimangiarsi un po' di veleno e tornare a stringere la mano 
dell'odiato "sionista".

A si?
La geopolitica ha pi� senso della psicanalisi? 

 dell'odiato "sionista".
ed e' un vero peccato che questo riavvicinamento avvenga grazie alla 
collaborazione dei Tories e non del Labur. Quasi che nel programma del 
Labur ci sia l'isolamento di Israele (ma siamo sicuri che non e' cosi', 
vero?)

 vero?)
è un vero peccato che Nahum tenga a sottolineare che odia i partiti di
sinistra di praticamente ogni paese del mondo. Ma siamo sicuri che non
è di destra, vero?
