Israel-Turkish Relations

In 1947, when the United Nations General Assembly announced the establishment Jewish state of Israel, it became an important issue in the relations between the neighbor and local states. The entire political-historical context was redefined by the period before and after Israel. Israel and Turkey created a new bond, designed by quite different ideas from the other Arab states, and the analyst Alan Makowski called it “a sense of Difference”. (Makovsky, 2019) It is important to note that the relationship between Israel and Turkey is complex and influenced by various factors, including regional dynamics, domestic politics, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While efforts have been made to mend ties, the relationship remains characterized by periods of cooperation and tension. The relationship's future trajectory will depend on the evolving political landscape and the willingness of both countries to engage in dialogue and find common ground.
