How are relations between Israel and Turkey?

Answer 1

Not so good as the public reaction to the atrocities commited by Israel are becoming clearer. The Vatan daily newspaper reported that Mr. Erdogan said that "God will punish Israel" regarding the offensive in GAZA also calling for Israel to be expelled from the United Nations. "Israel will get no free ride from Ankara anymore."

Answer 2

Historically, Israeli-Turkish relations have been relatively strong. From 1949-2008, there was a strong Israeli-Turkish military and political alliance since both countries saw themselves as Secular and Westernized Republics in a sea of Arab autocracies. However, the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdoğan has begun to embark on a plan of creating a New Ottoman Empire through strong imperialist foreign policy. He has capitalized on popular sentiment within Turkey to paint Israel as an obstructionist entity in the Middle East and used farcical operations such as the Mavi Marmara incident to "highlight" Israeli actions that most Turks disagree with. In doing so, he has strengthen his support with the predominantly anti-Zionist Turkish electorate.

However, if only the numbers are consulted, Israeli-Turkish trade and other non-personal relations have only continued to increase since the suspension of the formal military alliance. This is likely because Erdoğan is wise enough to realize that as much as Turks publicly hate Israel, Israel is likely to be Turkey's only ally in a contest with other Middle Eastern regional powers like Egypt, Iran, or Saudi Arabia and needs to keep the lines of communication open.
