To understand Turkish-Israeli relations’ main structure, we should applicate historical process and to be US ally. Israel’s existence is resourced from UN General Assembly’s “partition plan” .(1947) Turkey rejected “two state solution” resolution in the Assembly. In spite of the rejection behaviour, Turkey deployed in Palestine Reconciliation Council in UN, with US and France. (December 1948) As we know, Israel was founded in May 1948. And Turkey recognized Israel in March 1949. Turkey is the first country recognized Israel which has a Muslim majority population and was unique until 1978. Turkey’s attitude changed between from 1947 to 1949. Why Turkey became closer with US and Western axis. We must note that, Jewish lobby in US has so positive effect on US-Turkish relations. Turkish-Israeli relations is also a projection of US-Turkish relations for Turkey.

Turkish-Israeli Political Tension: Is There A Hocus-Pocus?

Despite the diplomatic and political tension between Turkey and Israel, we find ourselves standing in front of blooming trade and business relations between the two Middle Eastern countries.
