Turkey urges Israel to end Gaza tragedy
[Al Arabiya Latest] Turkey urged Israel Friday to end the "humanitarian tragedy" in Gaza, saying ties between the two allies cannot recover if Palestinian suffering continues and peace talks remain dead in the Middle East.
"Ending the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, reviving peace efforts -- both on the Palestinian and Syrian track, and most importantly -- reinstating a prevailing spirit of peace in the region... this is what we want," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters.
"When there is a return to the track of peace, these relations of trust (with Israel) will be re-established on the same level as before," he said.
