<p style="text-align: justify;">Turkey threatened retaliation after Ebru Ozkan&#8217;s detention last month. The ex-allies have long been at loggerheads over Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and Jerusalem&#8217;s status.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ozkan&#8217;s lawyer, Omar Khamaisi, said she flew to Istanbul on Sunday, a week after an Israeli military court indicted her. An appeals court had ordered her freed and returned her passport, he told Reuters, adding: &#8220;The indictment still stands, but I think that will be cancelled too.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Turkish news agency Anadlou quoted Ozkan, upon landing, as thanking President Tayyip Erdogan for having been &#8220;kind enough to be very interested in my case&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An Israeli military spokesman had no immediate comment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ozkan was held at Tel Aviv&#8217;s Ben Gurion Airport last month while trying to board her original flight home after a visit that took her to Jerusalem, whose Al Aqsa Mosque draws pilgrims from the few Muslim countries that have relations with Israel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She was charged with helping smuggling money and packages to Hamas, which is classed as a terrorist group in Israel and the West, but not by NATO-power Turkey. Ozkan&#8217;s lawyer dismissed the charges as baseless and, potentially, politically motivated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hamas did not comment on the case.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Turkey&#8217;s Islamist-rooted government had cited Israel&#8217;s treatment of Ozkan and several other detained Turkish visitors as among &#8220;inhumane policies&#8221; that were souring bilateral ties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ankara vocally opposed the U.S. recognition in December of Jerusalem as Israel&#8217;s capital. Palestinians want a state with a capital in eastern parts of the city where Al Aqsa, as well as major Jewish and Christian shrines, are housed.</p>
