Israel and Turkey have buried their axe of war for the sake of common interests, the Italian editorial office of Euronews TV channel reports.

“Israel is formally joining the sunni bloc, which sets itself against the shia and Syrian-Iranian ones. The relations between Ankara and Jerusalem deteriorated due to the incident with Mavi Marmara ship in 2010. Now the two countries speak of a thaw and rapprochement, but something much bigger is behind this – most probably the wish to stand against the Iranian bloc in the light of Washington’s decreasing activeness in the region,” the story says.

Consul General of Israel, Shai Cohen, is sure that even the uneasy subject such as the attempt to cross the sea blockade by the Israeli coasts in 2010, have already been overcome.

The intelligence service of Israel grappled with the ship then, killing nine people.

“But the interests between the two countries are too strong, this leading to the reconciliation after several years of tension,” the story notes.
