After Ankara normalized its relations with the Tel Aviv regime, the expected step came and according to the decision published with the signature of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Foreign Policy Solidarity Board Member Şakir Özkan Torunlar was appointed to the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Israel.
Torunlar served as the Consulate General of Jerusalem between 2010-2014.
After the normalization of relations between Turkey and Israel, it was decided to appoint an ambassador as a result of the agreement reached between Ankara and Tel Aviv.
Following the decision, on September 19, the Israeli regime government appointed Irit Lillian as the Ankara Ambassador.
THE AMBASSADOR DISMISSED IN 2018…
An agreement was signed between Turkey and the Israeli regime in return for the dismissal of the Mavi Marmara case, and Ankara appointed an ambassador to Tel Aviv in 2016.
However, in 2017, after the then US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the relocation of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, after the Israeli soldiers martyred nearly 60 Palestinians in Gaza, Turkey's decision was made in 2018. The Tel Aviv Ambassador was summoned to the center again.
As a result of the rapprochement with Israel in the last period, an ambassador was appointed to Tel Aviv again.
WHO IS SAKIR OZKAN TORUNLAR?
Şakir Özkan Torunlar, who was appointed as Turkey's ambassador to the Israeli regime, graduated from TED Ankara College and graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Political Sciences in 1982. Torunlar, who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1983, held various foreign assignments. Torunlar became the Bangladesh Ambassador in 2008-2010, and served as the Palestinian Ambassador to Jerusalem between 2010-2014.
IT WILL BE AGAINST PALESTINE!
Although it is promised that Palestinians will live in more comfortable conditions in every period of normalization of relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv, this is not possible. The Palestinians suffer the most from the normalization agreement with the Israeli regime.
While Israel carries out its massacres more easily as it is normalized with Islamic countries, it can also act comfortably on strategic issues, especially the usurpation of Palestinian natural gas. In short, this normalization between Turkey and the Israeli regime is thought to be to the detriment of the Palestinians.
