Deputy FM Danny Ayalon responded to the banishing of the Israeli ambassador from Ankara following the UN Palmer committee report. “The Turkish position is surprising, and it harms Turkish interests. It is a matter of status and interests, not national honor. We are glad the UN report calls upon Turkey to restore good relations with Israel. It is good we didn’t apologize, there is nothing to apologize for, even according to the report.”
Ayalon spoke on Channel 2.
