A Turkiye warship docked in Israel over the weekend for the first time since 2010 showing how improving ties between the two countries are moving into the fast lane of defence.
In recent months, Turkiye and Israel were on a wooing spree diplomatically speaking and now this has given birth to a military warming ceremony.
The TCG Kemalreis frigate was docked Sunday in the northern port of Haifa, headquarters of the Israeli navy but Israeli army officials say the stopover is part of “NATO activities”. As for the Turkiye defence ministry, the frigate was to remain in the port of Haifa until September 6.
