Israel names Joel Leon as acting envoy in Turkey
Joel Leon appointed as the acting Israeli diplomat in Turkey, succeeding Ambassador Eirit Lilian who was retired following the escalation of tensions between the two countries since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023. Leon is a former ambassador to Ukraine, Moldova, and Armenia. His appointment reflects efforts to restore diplomatic communication after a period of severed official relations, as the Israeli embassy remains closed in Turkey due to the deterioration of relations since the crisis erupted.
