After a two-year moratorium, Turkey is once again strengthening diplomatic relations with Israel. The Erdogan government is reappointing an ambassador to the Zionist country.
The Israeli media cited Al-Monitor, a Middle Eastern watchdog.
The initiative was taken to improve relations with the new US government, according to the report.
The new Turkish ambassador to Israel, Ufuk Ulutas, has studied Hebrew and Middle Eastern politics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Although UFUK, 40, is an expert on Iran, he is not a professional diplomat.
Al-Monitor has described Ulutas as “very smart, very smart and pro-Palestinian.”
The protests erupted in 2016 when President Donald Trump moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Israeli forces have carried out a deadly attack on protesting Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Following the attack, Turkey withdrew its ambassador from Israel in May 2016.
