ANKARA, Turkey — Israel’s defense minister said Sunday that a daylong visit to Turkey had helped end an ugly diplomatic feud, but analysts expressed skepticism that the trip would ease tensions rising since Israel’s Gaza war.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told reporters that the countries had moved beyond a disagreement that erupted after Israel’s deputy foreign minister deliberately humiliated the Turkish ambassador to express anger over an anti-Israeli show on Turkish television.
Israel apologized, and Barak said at a joint news conference with Turkey’s defense minister that “I believe it was a mistake.”
