One major change was the appointment of Ahmet Davutoglu, Erdogan's chief foreign policy advisor, as foreign minister, replacing Ali Babacan, who became deputy prime minister responsible for the economy. Davutoglu, whose appointment marks a rare phenomenon in Turkish politics as an official joining the Cabinet without being a parliament member, mediated several rounds of indirect talks between Syria and Israel last year. The former academic is also notably known for heading the Turkish delegation that shuttled between Israel and the radical Palestinian movement Hamas in January as part of international efforts to secure a ceasefire.
