Washington, DC
The
reconciliation between Israel and Turkey is a very important
development that will help advance the cause of peace and stability in
the region. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Prime Minister Erdogan deserve
great credit for showing the leadership necessary to make this possible.
As I
discussed with Prime Minister Netanyahu this evening, this will help
Israel meet the many challenges it faces in the region. We look forward
to an expeditious implementation of the agreement and the full
normalization of relations so Israel and Turkey can work together to
advance their common interests.ãã
