Turkish Warship Docks in Haifa as Ties Warm
HAIFA (Dispatches) - A Turkish warship has docked in Occupied Palestine for the first such visit in more than a decade as relations between the U.S. allies improve following fierce feuding over the Palestinian cause.
The frigate Kemalreis docked in Haifa on Saturday as part of NATO maneuvers in the Mediterranean sea, a Turkish official said. An Israeli official said Ankara had submitted a preliminary request for the crew to disembark on shore leave.
