Israel, Turkey Poised to Renew Diplomatic Relations

Secret talks in Switzerland may restore ties suspended since 2010 raid on Gaza-bound aid ship

ISTANBUL—Israel and Turkey are poised to re-establish diplomatic ties after years of tense relations, officials from both countries said Friday, a move that could renew close cooperation between two of America’s strongest allies in the region.
Top Israeli and Turkish officials met for secret talks this week in Switzerland, where they worked to complete a deal to restore relations that collapsed in 2010 after 10 Turks were killed.
