Israel appointed an ambassador to Turkey on Tuesday after an agreement signed this summer restoring ties after 6 years of severed diplomatic ties.
The relationship between Israel and Turkey was tarnished in the aftermath of the Mavi Marmara in May 2010, when Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish citizens when trying to stop a boat attempting to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip. After this, Turkey recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv in September 2011 and expelled the Israeli envoy.
