Minister: Israel wants better ties with Turkey
None
Israel's trade minister says the Jewish state wants to improve and strengthen ties with Turkey.
Binyamin Ben-Eliezer also told reporters in Istanbul on Monday that Turkey can help "to put things back on track" between Israel and Syria. His comments came a day after Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Turkey's scathing criticism of Israel had disqualified it as a mediator of Israel-Syria talks. (AP)
