On the heels of an announcement that Israel and Turkey have restored full diplomatic relations with each other, the Israeli police are gearing up to ask Istanbul to extradite some 150 wanted criminals back to the Jewish State.

According to a report from Hebrew-language Mako News, numerous wanted Israeli criminals have fled to Turkey in recent years in order to avoid being prosecuted in Israeli courts.

The majority of the wanted men are Israeli Arabs, although a number of Jewish Israelis have also sought refuge from the law in Turkey.
