Ankara, Turkey – Turkey’s fraught relationship with Israel could be on the mend, according to reports suggesting Ankara is to appoint the first ambassador to its Mediterranean counterpart in more than two and a half years.
News of the selection of a Jerusalem-educated appointee would mark the thawing of ties between the countries after years of antagonism and fiery rhetoric between Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to a report last week by Al-Monitor quoting “well-placed sources”, Ankara has picked Ufuk Ulutas to lead efforts to build bridges with Israel. Ulutas currently heads the foreign ministry’s research centre but is not a career diplomat, having previously led a pro-government think-tank.
“It’s my modesty,” he says.
On January 9, 2015, the then 24-year-old was working in the stockroom of the supermarket when a gunman stormed in.
“You people are the two things I hate most in this world,” the supermarket attacker, Amedy Coulibaly, told shoppers before taking them hostage. “You are Jewish and French.”
Bathily, a Muslim employee, quickly directed about 15 shoppers into the basement where he hid them in a cold-storage room during the four-hour siege.
In the attack, four people were killed, five including the gunman.
Two days earlier, the assault on Charlie Hebdo had taken place.

Top House Democrats urge Biden to go back into Iran deal without preconditions
By Ron Kampeas
(JTA) – Influential U.S. House of Representatives Democrats, including one who has for years been close to the center-right pro-Israel community, are backing president-elect Joe Biden’s plan to reenter the Iran nuclear deal – without any new conditions on the country.
In a letter obtained by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that began circulating Wednesday afternoon, the lawmakers support Biden’s vision in direct contradiction to the urgings of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, others in the center-right pro-Israel community and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
