Turkey's intelligence chief said Ankara does not seek conflict with Israel but indicated the incoming government should work to reduce tensions, Middle East Eye reported. The statement suggests Turkey views the change in Israeli leadership as a potential opportunity to reset relations after years of friction under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Turkey has long criticized Israeli policies toward Palestinians and regional issues. The intelligence chief's comments signal Ankara may be willing to engage differently with a new Israeli administration, though specifics on what Turkey expects from the government were not detailed.
