It appears that a game of hide and seek is being played by Turkey and Israel. The bone of contention is a TV drama being relayed in Turkey depicting brutality of Israeli security forces. Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel Danny Ayalon called in the Turkish ambassador, Ahmet Oguz Celikkol, to reprimand him over the TV programme and seated him on a sofa lower than his own chair without shaking hands. Turkey took it to be a humiliation and threatened to break diplomatic ties. Israel apologised twice for the incident. But the statements from both the sides show that the dust has not yet settled.
