Turkey and Israel will resume talks for the normalization of relations on Wednesday after a break of two months, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

The witnesses said clashes broke out on Wednesday between dozens of Palestinian stone throwers and Israeli soldiers outside the refugee camp, after an Israeli army force tried to storm the camp for arrests.

According to Israeli official figures, Palestinians carried out more than 170 stabbing attacks since October 1 of previous year.

The head of the Labour-led Zionist Union coalition said he still wants a two-state solution, but does not believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas are capable of a breakthrough. At least 156 Palestinians, 110 of whom Israel says were attackers, were killed by Israeli fire during that time.

The talks, which come as Turkey’s relationship has worsened with Russian Federation, its main gas supplier, have raised hopes of progress in negotiations to import Israeli natural gas.

Israel blames incitement by Palestinian leaders and social media.

In recent years, pro-Palestinian activists have called for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel to protest its policies toward the Palestinians. We will surround the entire state of Israel with a fence, a barrier.”Netanyahu said, as cited by the Guardian, the Israeli government was also examining ways of sealing gaps in the existing separation wall that runs along large areas of the occupied West Bank”.

As for the ongoing wave of violence, Netanyahu said it is not the Israeli occupation responsible for the wave of violence, as the Palestinians charge.
