ANKARA (AA) - The relations between Türkiye and Israel will gain a "new momentum" after the appointment of ambassadors, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday.
According to Türkiye's Communicaitons Directorate, Erdogan and his Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog discussed bilateral relations and regional issues over phone.
During the conversation, Erdogan said he considers the decision to mutually appoint ambassadors "an important step" towards positive development of Türkiye-Israel relations.
