Israel Distances Itself from Diplomatic Confrontation with Turkey
(Hurriyet-Turkey) Sevil Erkus - Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor said Tuesday that a Washington Post story by David Ignatius claiming that there were intense "spy wars" between Turkey and Israel "does not serve any Israeli purpose." He said the information that Turkish intelligence had disclosed to Iranian intelligence the identities of up to 10 Iranians who had been meeting in Turkey with their Mossad case officers was not leaked from Israel. "Israel wishes to stay away from public polemics with Turkey....Was it leaked by Israel? I can confidently say: Of course not."
