Since October 7, the relationship between Turkey and Israel has reached a new low. Ankara has suspended trade with Jerusalem, sought the arrest of senior Israeli officials, and built a ring of military partnerships stretching from Syria to the Red Sea.
The Turkish-Israeli analyst Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak tells the story of why this happened in the September Mosaic essay, and explores a variety of unsettling questions: Is Turkey—as a growing number of Israeli officials now argue—becoming the next Iran? What does Erdoğan’s fervent embrace of Hamas and escalating anti-Zionist rhetoric mean for Israel’s security? Can Washington, which has remained largely silent as the relationship deteriorates, keep the two from coming to blows?
To take up these questions in more depth, we brought Yanarocak together with Dan Schueftan and Michael Doran. Schueftan believes Turkey is a major threat to Israel’s security, while Doran maintains that Turkey remains an important part of the American alliance system in the Middle East. Together with Jonathan Silver, they weighed the scale of the threat against the backdrop of Israel’s broader security doctrine and America’s role in the region.
The conversation took place on Wednesday, September 16.

Who fought in WW2 against the axis? Turkey which declared war on Germany one day before the end of the war?
Who provided air cover for the British bases in Cyprus when HMS Dragon took a month to arrive with the Iran war?
He said other things about Greeks having good relations with Turkey.
Hasn’t he heard Erdogan saying that Turkey will bomb Athens ?
What about Blue Homeland (Mavi vatan) showing maps with the Greek islands under Turkish occupation.
If this is a sound geopolitical analysis, I fear for the influence you may exert on Israel decision making centres.
