US President Barack Obama’s efforts to broker peace between Israel and Turkey — the two key allies of America in the region — have been hailed by the media here as a major diplomatic victory.
Due to his personal diplomatic efforts, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu called Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan an apologies for the errors in a 2010 raid on a ship bound for Gaza that had soured the relationship between America’s two key allies in the region.
“The apology, in a diplomatic victory for President Obama, paves the way for the restoration of normal relations between the two regional powers,” The Wall Street Journal said. PTI
