As President Isaac Herzog prepares for his historic trip to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, experts from two think tanks — one Israeli and one Turkish — will gather for a daylong seminar in Tel Aviv on Thursday to discuss ties between the two nations.
The Turkish SETA (Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research), known to be aligned with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and financed by the Turkish government, will be hosted in Tel Aviv by the Dayan Center.
The event will be closed to both the press and the public.
The Times of Israel has learned that diplomats and governmental officials will participate in the session, the purpose of which is to restore ties and connections among mid-level officials from the two countries.
Ties between the two countries have appeared to thaw in recent months, as Erdogan made a number of statements about possible cooperation with Israel. Herzog is set to visit Ankara later this month.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
