Εξηγήσεις μέσω των social media έδωσε πριν λίγο ο πρωθυπουργός του
Ισραήλ, Μπέντζαμιν Νετανιάχου, για το ότι αποφάσισε να ζητήσει δημοσίως
συγγνώμη από τον Τούρκο ομόλογό του για όσα διαδραματίστηκαν το 2010
στην επιχείρηση των Ισραηλινών κομάντο στο πλοιάριο Mavi Marmara με
αποτέλεσμα το θάνατο εννέα Τούρκων ακτιβιστών.
Ο ίδιος παραδέχτηκε ότι η
προσπάθεια επαναπροσέγγισης είχε διάρκεια τριών ετών υπό την πίεση των
ΗΠΑ. Ωστόσο διευκρίνισε ότι ο βασικός λόγος που αποφάσισε να πάρει την
συγκεκριμένη απόφαση είναι το θέμα της Συρίας. Σύμφωνα με τον ίδιο το
καθεστώς Άσαντ καταρρέει και υπάρχει σοβαρός κίνδυνος όπλα μαζικής
καταστροφής να «περάσουν» στα χέρια τρομοκρατών (Ιράν, Χεζμπολάχ
εννοεί).
«Η κατάσταση στην Συρία επέβαλλε μια αναπροσαρμογή της εξωτερικής
πολιτικής μας. Τουρκία και Ισραήλ συνορεύουν με την Συρία», τόνισε,
θέλοντας ουσιαστικά να επισημάνει ότι οι δύο χώρες αντιμετωπίζουν τους
ίδιους κινδύνους. Παράλληλα αναφέρθηκε στον ορατό κίνδυνο μιας παγκόσμια
τσιχάντ που επρόκειτο να δημιουργήσει σοβαρούς κινδύνους για την άμυνα
του Ισραήλ.
Ωστόσο παραδέχτηκε εμμέσως ότι παραμένει στις σχέσεις των δύο κρατών μια
επιφυλακτικότητα που πρόκειται να εξανεμιστεί σταδιακά.
Ακολουθεί σχετικό δημοσίευμα στα αγγλικά:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday rationalized his decision
to apologize to Turkey over the IDF's raid on the Gaza-bound Marmara
ship that killed nine Turkish citizens.
"The fact that the Syrian crisis is constantly intensifying was a prime
consideration," he explained in a post on his Facebook page.
"Syria is crumbling, and its massive stockpiles of advanced weapons are
starting to fall into the hands of various elements. What we fear most
is that terrorist groups will get their hands on chemical weapons."
The prime minister noted that he spent Saturday resting after a busy
week that began with the swearing in of his new government and ended
with the visit of US President Barack Obama.
"Before the Sabbath, I spoke to the Turkish premier. Three years after
Israel-Turkey ties had been cut off I decided it was time to restore
them. The changing reality around us requires that we constantly
reexamine our relations with countries in the region.
"In the past three years the State of Israel has initiated several attempts to resolve the crisis with Turkey."
Netanyahu explained that the situation in Syria warrants a reevaluation
of Israel's relations with Turkey and noted that the presence of Global
Jihad terrorists on the Syrian-Israel border in the Golan Heights
"creates serious challenges for our defense establishment."
He further noted that Israel is closely monitoring the situation across the border and is ready to respond to any development .
"It’s important that Turkey and Israel, which both share a border with
Syria, are able to communicate with each other and this is also relevant
to other regional challenges. In addition, the visit of US President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Kerry created an opportunity to end
the crisis.
"That is why towards the end of the US president's visit I decided to
call the Turkish prime minister on order to solve the crisis and mend
the relations between our two nations."
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said that he supports Netanyahu's
decision. "The prime minister has made a responsible decision and the
settlement he is leading with Turkey does not contradict the fact that
we stood our ground for three years," he said in a statement.
"Regional developments and US involvement helped end the crisis. It is a
shared interest of both Israel and Turkey." Conversely, former Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman slammed the move on Friday calling it a
"serious mistake."
Earlier on Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip said that Israel's apology "it was offered the way we wanted."
Addressing the restoration of diplomatic ties through the appointment of
ambassadors he said, "We will see what will be put into practice during
the process. If they move forward in a promising way, we will make our
contribution. Then, there would be an exchange of ambassadors."
