U.S. Ambassador Barrack reports on rapprochement between Turkey and Israel

Turkey and Israel will not enter the war, said U.S. Ambassador to Ankara and special envoy of the American president for Syria Thomas Barrack. According to him, on the contrary, the countries are moving towards rapprochement. This was reported on November 1.

"There are no overloads in relations with Syria. By the way, I'm ready to bet about Turkey and Israel that if we stick together, if the momentum continues, if the teams continue to work in Gaza, there will be a trade agreement between Turkey and Israel soon," the diplomat said.

According to Barrack, US President Donald Trump has "changed the whole arrangement on the chessboard," which is reflected in political processes. The diplomat expressed confidence that Turkey and Israel would not enter into an armed conflict, adding that "a space from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea" would be created.
