Israel and the Region after Israel’s Operation Protective Edge

|
In the history of Turkish-Israeli relations, the Palestinian Question played a critical role and regardless of the political leaning of the administrations in Turkish governments, reacted to the unproportional use of force in the region.
  • Whatever happens, relations between the two countries cannot and will not reach the high level of cooperation between Turkey’s pro-coup elites and Israel in the late 1990s.
  • In addition to a big plus in the diplomatic success column of Turkey, for the sake of being realistic however, the structural issues such as the Turkish-Israeli conflict over the regional vision and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, etc. should be taken into consideration.
  • Israel has been living in political déjà vu for some time now. It neither comprehends the transformation in the region, nor does it have the political capacity to analyze the future.
