There is no logic behind this tension between israel and turkey. afaik, israel has apologized to turkey over gaza flotilla and reparations are paid.
these countries must become good friends again. A friend like Israel in the middle east can make a big difference. while standing up for the Palestinians doesn't make much sense. a neutral turkey, regarding palestinians can even act as a mediator. would be at least more effective than the current situation.
I find the Turkish rapprochement to Russia beneficial, certainly because Europe is militarily weak and the US is not particularly friendly towards us. but by arguing with Israel, iran seems to be the most advantageous here. iran earns billions in gas sales, they give erdogan bribe, but I don't think turkey as a country benefit from this. instead of giving alms(to erdogan), iran could give a discount on gas sales. Even by attacking the ypg in Syria, we divert international attention from Iran. what do we get in return?
Don't get me wrong, i like iran and its people/culture. since iran has almost 40 million turks. I just find the current situation too much in favor of Iran.
and think that rapprochement with Israel is a better deal. iran can survive without turkish aid.. iran is stronk!
what do other turkish users think .. are you happy with the hostility between Israel and Turkey?
