It was the first conversation between the two leaders and the first time an Israeli premier spoke with the Turkish president in nearly a decade.
“Thank you to the prime minister and the foreign minister. Thank you to the president. Thank you to the people of Israel,” said Mordy and Natalie Oknin from their Modi’in home.
“We are full of hope and faith that authorities in Turkey will find [our] arguments compelling enough to accept,” says attorney Nir Yaslovitzh, on behalf of Natalie and Mordy Oknin, arrested on charges of espionage.
