After nearly a decade, Turkiye and Egypt decide to reappoint ambassadors, following a series of Egypt's diplomatic gestures that started with a fast quake-relief effort in February and led to Egyptian president Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi's congratulatory phone call last week to President Erdoğan on his election win. Relations between Ankara and Cairo had soured in 2013 following the overthrow of Egypt's first democratically elected President Mohammed Morsi. Egypt's support for the blockade of Qatar a few years later, and its backing of warlord Khalifia Haftar in Libya, had further strained ties that are now healed through a series of high-level talks.
