Israel is sending a ship to Turkey on Monday with a large and noisy cargo on board. This shipment is part of a decades-long struggle, but one against nature: it aims to calm ties between the two countries while simultaneously saving Asian pachyderms from extinction.Supposedly, this has nothing to do with politics and is being done purely out of humanitarian (zoolitarian?) concerns.
The cargo consists of three elephants, zebras, a hippo and a handful of lemurs, courtesy of the Tisch Family Zoological Gardens in Jerusalem – commonly known as the Biblical Zoo – and the Ramat Gan Safari.
The destination: the Gaziantep Zoo in southeastern Anatolia, which is Turkey’s largest zoo.
Still, I suppose this could be part of a Mossad reconnaissance mission.
And Gaziantep is located near the Syrian border...
