Turkey-Israel relations: Will the nomination of Turkish ambassador bring the two countries closer together again?

 


The government of right-wing Muslim leader and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been sharply critical of Israel internationally and speaks out for Palestinian rights, abruptly announced the unilateral resumption of diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed for the past two years. Is. Turkey has appointed its ambassador to Israel a few days ago. Turkey recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv in 2018 in response to Israeli violence against Palestinian protesters in Gaza. The protests were against President Trump's decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

It is important to understand the recent events and the long history of Israeli-Turkish relations in order to understand the rationale and motives behind the decision to send an ambassador to Israel by Turkish leaders who have called Israel a "terrorist and killer of Palestinian children." It is necessary. Turkey's decision to nominate its ambassador came a day after the United States imposed trade sanctions on it. Earlier this year, the United States canceled several agreements with Turkey over the purchase of the state-of-the-art S-400 missile defense system, including the sale of state-of-the-art F-35 fighter jets to Turkey and the Turkish Air Force's pilot training program. ۔

In return, the Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Turkey, a key member of the European and US defense alliance NATO. The move by Donald Trump could lead to new foreign policy confusion for Biden's next administration. New alignments and 'geo-strategic' changes in the Middle East are taking place at a time when the world is going through a turbulent period in human history due to the global Corona epidemic. The economic woes of countries around the world are increasing and the Arab countries are facing additional burdens due to the world's declining dependence on oil. Arab countries reconsider their traditional policies in an effort to stabilize the economy and look for new economic opportunities.
