During their closed-door meeting, presidents Herzog and Erdogan discussed establishing a mechanism that will help lower tensions if diplomatic spats arise in the future, an Israeli official says.
The two leaders also discussed Israel’s ties with Greece and Cyprus, which is a matter of concern for Turkey, the official says.
They discussed Hamas, which received backing from Turkey — a matter of concern raised by Israel in the past.
The possibility of returning ambassadors to each other’s capitals will be discussed by foreign ministers when Turkey’s Mevlut Cavusoglu visits Israel in the coming weeks.
