Turkey-Israel Relations in the Post-Netanyahu Era (original) (raw)

For years, Turkey’s relations with Israel have been stalled. During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s last 12 years in power (2009-2021), the relationship has continued to hit lower and lower points, with few moments to celebrate. In fact, the deterioration of relations has correlated with numerous public spats between Netanyahu and Turkey’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. However, many analysts have overlooked the fact that a status quo was reached that enabled economic ties to thrive despite frequent crises and outbursts by the leaders. With Netanyahu now out of power, the question is whether this status quo can hold considering the antiErdoğan stance held by key members of the new government.
