Galant: Israel and Turkey close to reconciliation

Housing Minister Yoav Galant confirms that Israel and Turkey are close to a reconciliation agreement.

“Israel and Turkey are close to a deal, which is fundamental for Israel from the national security viewpoint, but which also has economic ramifications that can extend to the construction sector,” says Galant, who serves as Israel’s top regulator of the housing and construction industries.

“We have many enemies. We don’t need more,” he says.

Earlier today, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said “90 percent of the issues” that have prevented reconciliation between former allies Ankara and Jerusalem have been resolved.
