Israel-Turkey reconciliation at zero possibiliy

The protests in Turkey have undeniable implications for Israel, affecting the regime's reconciliation efforts wit Turkey first of all, Haaretz wrote.

The Israeli daily quoted officials at Israel's Foreign Ministry as saying that in the current political atmosphere the chances for reconciliation are nil.

In his shaky position, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will find it very hard to compromise on the compensation to the families of the people killed in the Gaza flotilla back in 2010. He also won't be able to pass the bill canceling the measures launched against Israeli troops and officers.

Netanyahu, who apologized after a three-year crisis in relations with Turkey and under heavy American pressure, is very frustrated over the stalemate in the reconciliation talks. The daily said Netanyahu didn't get what he expected in exchange — the return of the ambassadors and the normalization of ties. He doesn't plan to make any gestures to Erdogan soon.
