After a six year hiatus Israel and Turkey are friends again, which will be a lot more than diplomacy:Link:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-36639834The reconciliation deal between Israel and Turkey will see a return to normal diplomatic relations, but ties are unlikely to have the warmth that they did in the past. It is Turkey's growing diplomatic problems - strategic tensions with Russia; difficulties with Europe due to the growing authoritarianism of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; and above all the failure of Turkey's Syria policy (which has also soured ties with Washington) - that have prompted this move.
FP added:Netanyahu credited U.S. Vice President Joe Biden for acting as a peace broker between Israel and Turkey.
