Over the past few months, and especially since the change of government in Jerusalem - Turkey has been getting closer to Israel, when above all the unusual phone call between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his counterpart Yitzhak (Buzi) Herzog that took place on July 12 stood out.
Two months have passed since then, and the sights that characterized Ankara last year, in which they visited every country that normalized relations with Israel, have disappeared as if they were - and in fact the opposite is true.
The rate of condemnation messages against Israel by the Turkish Foreign Ministry has dropped dramatically, and today (Wednesday) another interesting action was added: Turkey was one of 52 countries that supported a joint declaration by the Abrahamic Accords - Israel, UAE, Bahrain and Morocco - on women, peace and diplomacy.

"This joint statement is the first official initiative in the multilateral arena between Israel, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco," said Israel's ambassador to the UN institutions in Geneva, Meirav Elon Shachar. The new thing we want to promote in our area and outside it. "
This is the second positive Turkish wink this week to the State of Israel.
On Sunday, the Turkish-Amarini Committee (TASC) and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce (OJC) signed a cooperation agreement, "based on common values and solidarity."
According to them, "our goal is to support relations between our homeland, the United States, and our respected mother countries - Turkey and Israel." "The (Israeli-Palestinian) peace process and the vision of a two-state solution must be revived without further delay," the Turkish president said.
