PM Office: FM not notified of Turkey meeting for 'technical reasons'
None
The Prime Minister's Office said Minister of Trade, Industry and Labor Benjamin Ben-Eliezer told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a Turkish request for an unofficial meeting.
The prime minister saw no reason to prevent such a meeting since there have been various initiatives to establish contact with Turkey in recent weeks with the knowledge of the foreign minister, it said. The reason Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was not told of this particular meeting was technical, it continued, and the prime minister works in complete cooperation with the foreign minister.
