As media revealed, Israelian Industry Minister Ben-Elizier met with Turkish Foreign MInister Davutoglu in June with the consent of Netanyahu. The meeting was made on Israel's behest. Both met to formulate a preliminary letter of apology.
The talks were kept secret and by-passed the Israelian Foreign MInister, Liebermann, who is right-wing and whose party was founded to represent the growing "Soviet-geography" Jews who migrate to Israel.
The talks were made public to Liebermann by the media-aide of Defence Minister Ehud Barak, who is from another party in the government.
In a cabinet meeting Ben-Elizier threatened the media-aide of Barak with "I will skewer you" because of the leakage. Allthough Barak approved the meeting.
