"Whither Turco-Israeli relations?
�Turkey could help mediate in Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts if it persuades the Palestinians to stop carrying out terror attacks�. This was how the Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, reacted when Turkish Foreign Minister Abdallah Gul said that Syria was serious about peace and proposed his government as a mediator in resuming the peace process since, Gul said, it had the trust of all the parties concerned. Gul, who was accompanied by a large delegation of businessmen, journalists and government officials, was making his first visit to Israel since taking office in March 2003, in order to improve the bilateral relationship that had been disrupted in the previous months."
