‘Normalization is progressing’ Erdogan says
Asked about the detente with Israel, Erdogan says it will take a long time, and goes through the various demands that Israel met to pave the way for the thaw in relations.
“I think we’ve progressed in normalization,” he says.
He is then asked about weapons getting into Gaza and he answers that its a two-way street and Israel needs to ensure its weapons are not deployed over Gaza.
He tells Dayan that he had helped brokered a deal between Ehud Olmert and Syria’s Bashar Assad in 2008 to reach peace in return for Israel withdrawing from the Golan Heights, but the deal was torpedoed once Operation Cast Lead against Gazan-based fighters began.
