The apology, brokered byUS President Barack Obama during his visit to Israel, meets a longstanding objective of Washington of bringing its two allies closer together after more than a year of virtually frozen diplomatic relations. (...)
The move came as a surprise to many analysts and officials, who had argued that the political and personal animosity between Mr Netanyahu and Mr Erdogan was too great to be overcome. But in aMiddle East in flux, the two men displayed greater flexibility than many of their critics had suggested.

In particular, the apology paves the way for greater co-operation between two states that both view developments in neighbouring Syria with alarm and which until recently had growing trade with each other.

Confirming that Mr Netanyahu had apologised to Mr Erdogan, the Israeli government said on Friday that two men had agreed to normalise relations between Israel and Turkey.
