ELEMENTS THAT TRIGGER COOPERATION BETWEEN TURKEY AND ISRAEL IN THE LIGHT OF CHANGING REGIONAL EQUATIONS
Abstract
Turkey-Israel relations, which had been reflected as strategic cooperation at the second half of 1990’s, is being altered staidly after the millennium. Turkey’s aim of being a regional leader in the Middle East and her affiliation towards Arab people/states according to this objective is the primary reason of the change in Turkish-Israeli relations. Israel’s coercive and aggressive attitude against the Palestinians is the second reason why Turkey has been estranged from Israel. However regional polarization that becomes visible after the Arab uprisings, especially after the events in Egypt and Syria and Iran’s articulation into the regional developments as an ascendant actor will make Turkey and Israel come closer again. In this study, factors that attend convergence between these two countries has been dealt and within this work it has also been envisaged that Turkey-Israel relations will be articulated into cooperation in the medium term.
