The tension between Israel and Turkey resulted in the 'sharpening of mutual interests' between Israel and Greece, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told reporters accompanying him on his way back from his two-day visit to Greece that ended on Tuesday.
Netanyahu and his Greek counterpart, George Papandreou, at a press conference on Monday, took pains to distance the visit to Greece from Israel’s problems with Turkey. But Netanyahu spoke openly on the way back home about the troubles with Turkey inspiring the development of Israel’s relationship with Greece, which has feuded with Turkey for decades."
