UN chief urges Turkey and Israel to mend relations

United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon on Saturday urged Turkey and Israel to mend their relationship for the good of the Middle East peace process after Ankara expelled the Israeli ambassador in the latest fallout over last year's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

 

In addition to expelling the envoy on Friday, Turkey also cut military ties over Israel's refusal to apologize for the raid, which killed nine pro-Palestinian activists, further straining a relationship that had been a cornerstone of regional stability. (AP)
