 President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Isaac Herzog at the podium, the flags of both countries behind them, addressing the media. You can see that they are sitting fairly far apart from one another, given the protocols right now with COVID, and we are going to try and take a deeper listen with a translation to the president. Let's hear what he has to say. Right while we watch these optics unfolding, we are still in studio with Dan Perry, with our own Ultraman, and with Eli Hachenberg. And we're looking right now at these two gentlemen addressing the media. You can see the flags behind them. Even though we wait for the translation of what they're saying right now, this moment is hugely significant, Owen. Yeah, it is, of course, significant. The visit is significant. What it means over even the short term, again, I think is subject to real question. But the fact that it's happening has a significance in and of itself. And the fact that they're now, in addition to the ceremonies, going to put themselves on the record, each of the leaders speaking from the podium. Again, we're watching Recep Tayyip Erdogan speak. He has spoken at many, many podiums, again saying vile, disgusting, and obscene things about Israel for the last 13 years. What's he saying now? Is he saying something that's going to put again, a penny on the scale in the other direction? Yes, we will now paraphrase what Erdogan is saying. It is particularly important for us to fulfill the potential of cooperation, especially in economic relations and commercial relations. Despite the pandemic, the scope of trade has grown. And 36 percent and reached last year to $8.5 billion. I believe this with mutual efforts. We will increase this data in 2022. I've expressed to President Herzogar a desire to cooperate in a project in the fields of energy and energy security. Turkey, without a doubt, has experienced to promote and implement such projects. The recent developments in our region proved once again the importance of energy security. We are able, significantly able to cooperate in other fields such as tourism, science, technology, health, and security exports. 90 percent, in 90 delegation members, rather, Turkish delegation members visited Israel recently and created established fruitful connections. We will continue to promote these endeavors, this cooperation. One of the main components in our meeting was obviously the Palestinian issue. I have expressed openly our sensitivity over the topic. I've expressed the importance we have for reducing or lowering the tensions in the region and to improve the two-state-solution status, the significance importance we give to Jerusalem and maintaining the al-Aqsa mosque compound. I have expressed our opinion about improving the conditions of Palestinians that we want to promote the activity of the Red Cross Organization. I have reiterated our approach, according to which anti-stematism is a crime against humanity. Turks and Jews are the best example for that. The best example for coexistence that lasted for hundreds of years will not allow to negative powers influence or overshadow this history during the COVID crisis. We've seen that hate crimes are increasing in our world. We will continue our determined principle actions in the fight against anti-stematism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and racism. During our meeting, we also exchanged views on regional and international current affairs, especially in light of the developments in the Ukraine and in the Mediterranean. I believe that in the coming period, we will see more opportunities to cooperate regionally and also bilaterally in light of what was said. And before I conclude my remarks, before I conclude my remarks, I want to say now we have four oil drill ships, those in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. We can do this, pursue this search after oil cooperation with Israel here. As I conclude my remarks, I hope this visit, this important visit will be opening the door for future important opportunities. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much for this invitation for this official visit here. And I thank you for the fruitful meeting we just wrapped up. Your invitation and my visit here, the continuation of a dialogue, a blessed communication you have initiated as when I was elected to be Israel's president. This is a crucial important moment for the relations between our countries, and it's a great privilege for us as leaders to lay the foundations for friendship, communication between our countries. The relations between our nations are ancient and go way back with the religious, historic and cultural contacts are a long row of leaders, Jewish leaders, rabbis, poets, sages, merchants are only part of the history of the Jewish people here in this country, in Turkey. Mr. President, unfortunately relations between our countries have experienced difficulties in recent times. Now I believe that the relations between the countries will be tested in actions that reflect the spirit of mutual respect and will enable us to better face the challenges, mutual challenges we are all facing. Israel and Turkey, as you've just said, can and should cooperate in numerous fields that have a direct dramatic impact on this sphere and this region that we all call home. Your foreign minister will be visiting Israel next month and will for sure thoroughly discuss all those issues on building mechanisms with the Israeli foreign minister and on the topic that are on the agenda of this dialogue that you have elaborated on in all fields and we will try to promote this dialogue and test it in actions and mutual respect. My respect for the president, one of the greatest poets, Turkish poets of current times that you have quoted, those who, and I'm quoting now from this poem, you must live your life in such seriousness so even when you're 70, for example, you will taste olive leaves, olive trees, not just for you and for your children because even if you're scared of death, you do not believe in it because life is more important than death. Today, Mr. President, we, as the poet said, choose mutual life that are more significant and the stains of the past are not getting canceled or washed out but we choose to start a process of trust and respect that will include a thorough discussion in all fields. We choose to jointly look ahead to the future and I agree in advance that we will not agree on everything but this is natural as part of relations between two nations but we can resolve this agreement in a respectful fashion and manner based on the mechanisms and that we will set the foundations for now. You, me, your nation, my nation, we are all the sons of Abraham. As you know, ahead of our meeting today, I have met with other regional leaders in the Middle East and I believe that you and I prove what we all understand, cooperation and good neighboring are most important for everyone here in the region. I believe that all of us, of all religions, Muslims, Jews and Christians, should and could, could and should rather live together in this sphere, in this space together peacefully and respectfully. I expect that we will jointly work to create a flourishing region. This is my dream in Jerusalem and this is my dream here in Ankara and this is how I act and this is how the Israeli government acts. We always respect freedom of religion and the ability to exercise any religion. Mr. President, in the past weeks alone, we've seen how bad war is. The war in Ukraine is a humanitarian crisis that is shocking, but the entire world we cannot remain indifferent to this crisis and I call for the Swiss conclusion of this bloodshed where the Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett and the Israeli government are working tirelessly to try and bring about this and this is why I also respect your efforts, Mr. President, that are bringing about an important summit that will convene here in your country and I pray that it will bring about a change. Mr. President, during these days in particular we want to send a message to the world that we work together in a different direction and trying to create hope, new hope to this region. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you. I pray that God will be on our side and will accompany us in our new path together. Live from Ankara, you were watching images there, President Isaac Herzog and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shaking hands after addressing the media. On day one of this historic state visit to Turkey they had just finished their meeting as had delegations from each country, lots to unpack from what they said and perhaps what they didn't. For more in studio, Dan Perry, international affairs analyst and former Europe editor at the Associated Press, our senior international affairs correspondent, Owen Ultiman and our diplomatic correspondent, Eli Hachenberg. Thank you for staying here. We have heard the comments from both leaders. Dan, I'm going to start with you. What stood out? What didn't? I mean, it was nice words and perhaps hot air, much as I suppose Owen expected.
