Israel names new envoy to Turkey
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Foreign Ministry has named Eitan Na’eh as Israel’s new envoy to Turkey.
Appointing a new ambassador is a key component of the reconciliation agreement between Jerusalem and Ankara. Last month, Turkish media reported that Kemal Okem, a close associate of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, had been selected as Turkey’s ambassador to Israel.
Na’eh, a career diplomat, is currently serving as Israel’s deputy ambassador in London and is a former ambassador to Azerbaijan. He has also previously served in Turkey, the Foreign Ministry says.
