Abstract

Türkiye’nin İsrail ile yakınlaşan ilişkileri Orta Doğu’da 1990’ların en önemli gelişmelerinden birisi olmuştur. Her iki ülke de İsrail’in kuruluşundan sonra ikili ilişkileri düşük profilli de olsa devam ettirmiş, ancak 1990’lı yıllara gelindiğinde ikili ilişkiler baş döndürücü bir hızla gelişmiş ve derinleşmiştir. Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi de 2002 yılında iktidara geldiğinde İsrail ile ilişkilere önem vermiş, uzun yıllardır devam eden Filistinliler ile İsrail arasındaki denge politikasını sürdürmüştür. Ancak hem 2000 yılında başlayan ikinci Filistin ayaklanması hem de 2008 yılında İsrail’in Gazze’ye düzenlediği operasyon ikili ilişkileri menfi etkilemiş ve kademeli olarak münasebetler bozulmuştur. Bu makalede Türkiye-İsrail ilişkileri çıkar ve kimlik eksenli olarak ayrıntılı bir analize tabi tutulmaktadır

Crisis in Turkish-Israeli Relations

Abstract

The rapprochement between Turkey and Israel in the 1990s emerged as one of the most significant events in the Middle East. Both countries had been previously maintaining their bilateral relations on a low intensity level following the establishment the state of Israel. However, in the 1990s bilateral relations gained a strong impetus, entailing deepened relations. When the Justice and Development Party came to power in 2002 they attached importance to relations with Israel and thus maintained a balanced policy in the Palestine-Israel issue. However, both Palestinian uprising in 2000 and the Gaza operation of Israel in 2008 had a negative impact on bilateral relations and led to a partial deterioration of bilateral relations. In this essay identity and interests in the Turkey-Israel relations are discussed in detail
