Israel is concerned by turkey's shift of axis

famous davous walkout

The operation cast lead was targeted to the over through  the Islamic rooted  Hamas from power in gaza,free its captive solider in gaza and to stop firing rockets from gaza to israel.Israel have gained some sort of success in bringing down the number of rockets fired at israel but it has failed to oust hamas from power,rather it has gained more popularity among the gazans.It has  even failed to free its captive colonel Gilad shalit.Israel has ended the operation with  the killings of more than 1400    Palestinians with the numerous allegations of killing innocent civilians intentionally..Israel has probably lost more than it gained in this war. The worst possible loss was its traditional ally Turkish friendship.Turkish akp led pro Islamic government took this brutal war as an opportunity to gain more support for anti-Israel movements  in turkey.The public assault of Peres in davos by Erdogan was nothing but to instigate more anti Israel feelings  in turkey.Turkish army which claims itself as the guardian of secularism of Turkey,has closer cooperation  with than the turkish government.But after watching  the reaction from the mass people in streets it failed to stop the government from taking harsh measures against Israel.

A new axix in middle east

The recent frequent visits of Syrian and Iranian presidents to Istanbul after the  Gaza flotilla raid is a clear sign of Turkey's growing relationship with anti-western governments in the middle east.Turkey's pro-Islamic government is sharply changing its foreign policy from traditional western oriented  policy to pro- Islamic foreign policy.Turkey is an active member of NATO with the second largest army after U.S.A.It's closest friend in the middle east was Israel.But things are changing very quickly after Israels invasion of Gaza.
Turkey has alienated its with the harshest critics of Israel.In 1998 Turkey and Syria were on the verge of war after Syria refused to hand over PKK leader Abdullah ocalan.

but after 2007 general  election Islamic rooted akp party assumed power for the second consecutive term and with huge public support and tried to curb the power  of the military which was seen as the guardian of  secularism in turkey.

ISRAEL-TURKEY RELATIONSHIP IS ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE

Israel is possibly losing its most trusted friend  in the middle east.Turkey is the only Muslim country that has maintained good relationship with Israel.But after the Gaza flotilla raid which have killed 8 Turkish civilians in the international sea area,turkey demanded full apology and compensation from the Israel.Israel  refused to do so as it claimed that IHH workers were antisemitic and were trying to kill the Israeli soldiers with their metal rods.Most countries in the world including organizations like Arab league and OIC condemned the attack as crime against humanity.But what lead Israel to  attack Turkish aid workers in international sea water?at the same time questions may be asked what led Turkish government to give  permission to IHH to organize this freedom flotilla movement ?
1.Turkish current democratically elected government is actually a pro-Islamic party.They have no interest in a country that is responsible to the killing of their muslim brothers in palestine.
2.The atrocity the IDF  committed in operation cast lead   led Erdogan to assault Israeli president in davos  publicly.   
 3.Growing relationship  of  turkey with Islamic countries promoted government to criticize their once friend Israel, on a regular basis.
4.AKP party maintained close relationship with organizations like HAMAS and Hezbullah    by inviting their leaders in Istanbul.this made israel  more suspicious about turkey.
5.A new axis was created in middle east  comprising Turkey-Syria_Iran.The latter two were israel's arch rivals.
6.The arab streets needed new hero after Saddam Hussain.Erdogan knew it and did every thing to satisfy them.
