A spokesman with the U.S. State Department has said Washington attached importance to Turkey's role in issues related to Middle East.
"Turkey has played an important role as an intermediary in working through issues related to Middle East peace," Philip Crowley told a daily press briefing on Thursday when responding to a question over a recent diplomatic tension between Turkey and Israel.
"We value that interaction, value Turkey's role in trying to help countries work through these issues. And I would expect that to continue," he said, adding that Turkey and Israel were two important allies and friends of the United States.
