| Israel postpones choosing new ambassador to Turkey |
| 2016-10-26 |
| [IsraelTimes] Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday postponed a meeting to nominate a new ambassador to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... The meeting, scheduled for October 27, has been pushed off and no new date has been set, according to Channel 2. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson confirmed to The Times of Israel that the meeting had been delayed, but did not offer an explanation. The recent reconciliation deal hit a bump last week, however, when a Turkish court refused to dismiss a case against members of the Israeli military, a key condition of the agreement. Dismissing the legal charges against IDF officers connected to a 2010 naval raid on a Turkish flotilla trying to breach Israel’s blockade of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-controlled Gazoo Strip was a central Israeli condition for the June agreement. Appointing a new ambassador is a key component of the agreement. Earlier this month, Turkish media reported that Kemal Okem, a close associate of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... , had been selected as Turkey’s ambassador to Israel. |
