New Israeli ambassador arrives in Turkey amid improving ties
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- Israel's new ambassador to Turkey has arrived in Ankara as the two countries seek to mend relations that soured after a deadly Israeli naval raid on a Turkish ship headed for Gaza.
Eitan Naeh arrived Thursday morning in the Turkish capital as part of a reconciliation deal clinched in June, ending six years of animosity.
Naeh, quoted by Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency, noted that Turkey and Israel "have a history of helping each other in times of need."
Turkey was among the nations to offer assistance to Israel in battling a series of wildfires that raged across the country last month.
