WASHINGTON, Mar 24:  The reconciliation between Israel and Turkey would advance peace and stability in the region, US Secretary of State John Kerry has said.
“The reconciliation between Israel and Turkey is a very important development that will help advance the cause of peace and stability in the region,” Kerry said in a statement, adding that the leaders of the two countries deserve great credit for showing the leadership necessary to make this possible.
