The Israeli trade minister begins an official visit to
Turkey in hopes of resolving strained bilateral ties with
Ankara and soliciting its help in talks with Syria.
Benjamin Ben Eliezer is the first Israeli cabinet member to
visit Turkey since relations soured over Tel Aviv's major
military assault on the Gaza Strip at the turn of the year
that killed over 1,400 Palestinians, including many women
and children.
Eliezer said that he is in Ankara to deliver a message to
Turkish leaders on behalf of his prime minister stating that
we want to "clear up the atmosphere" that clouds bilateral
relations.
He also expressed optimism, in a news conference in Ankara
Monday, that Turkey could help mend deteriorating relations
in the conflict between Israel and Syria, Anatolia news
agency reported.
His comments appeared to contradict Israeli Foreign Minister
Avigdor Liebermann, who said last weekend that Turkey's
attitude toward the Israeli government eliminated Ankara as
a possible mediator.
In Ankara, Ben Eliezer held talks with Deputy Prime Minister
Bulent Arinc and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
Davutoglu told the Israeli minister that the situation in
the Gaza Strip amounted to a humanitarian tragedy and that
Turkey expects the situation there to improve.
He also bemoaned the lack of progress in peace talks between
Israel and the Palestinians, as well as Syria, Anatolia
reported.

2 killed, 4 injured in Israeli attack on Gaza
Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:33:49 GMT
At least two Palestinians have been killed and four others
wounded in an Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip.
Gaza hospital sources announced the reception of two bodies
late on Monday, along with four other victims who had
received medium to critical injuries, after an Israeli tank
shelled the eastern Gaza city neighborhood of Shejaeya.
The shelling caused serious damage in the densely populated
area, reports say, but there are no more details on the
incident.
The latest attack comes two days after the Israeli military
launched a series of air raids on Gaza, wounding seven
people, including children.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
