Turkey Receives Israeli Delegation for First Time in 14 Years

 We aren't sure if this qualifies as good news or not, but in light of all the bad news headlines running around the world today, we are going to label this headline as INTERESTING NEWS.

The Bible says that Turkey will one day join a coalition of Russia and Iran and seek the destruction of Israel and the looting of their wealth.  God will not allow it.

So we have been watching Turkey these past 14 years of blogging.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog made a historic visit to Turkey on Wednesday when he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The visit marks the first time Ankara received an official Israeli delegation after fourteen years of ice-cold relations.

Following his meeting, Israel’s 11th president and first Lady Michal Herzog visited the Neve Shalom Synagogue in Istanbul on Thursday morning, where they met representatives of the Turkish Jewish community.

Herzog told community members that he and Erdogan had “a good, open and honest conversation.”

“I told him how important the Israel-Turkey relationship is to me. I told him that I believe that all of us, the children of all religions in the Middle East, can and must live in peace. I was pleased to hear from him that he agrees with me and that he too thinks that regional stability is very important and that we must strengthen what unites us, what unites all religions and peoples,” said Herzog.

“We understood that both of us believe that in days like these, with the winds of war, and the terrible tragedy in Ukraine, we must walk down the path of the heritage of the Children of Abraham. A heritage of respect, tolerance, and friendship. Of a relentless struggle against racism, anti-Semitism, and hatred of the other.

“Our world needs more peace and fewer wars, tragedies and battles. In the words of the prayer: ‘May He who makes peace in His heights make peace upon us and upon all Israel; and say, Amen.’”

At some point, Turkey is going to change today's "make nice" with Israel.  I'm guessing Israel is going to be surprised when that turn-around happens.
