Even so-called "football diplomacy" has failed, as neither Turkish nor Israeli officials participated in the December 1st football match between Besiktas and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
Ni tzv. „fudbalska diplomatija“ nije uspela, pošto ni turski ni izraelski zvaničnici nisu prisustvovali prvoj fudbalskoj utakmici između Bešiktaša i Makabija u Tel Avivu u Izraelu.
