The Turkish-Israeli Cold War
Henri J. Barkey
September 7, 2011 -- On Friday, the Turkish government declared a
Cold War on Israel. It kicked out Israel’s ambassador, downgraded
diplomatic relations with Israel to the second-secretary level and
canceled the military relationship. The consequences of this crisis for
the stability of the eastern Mediterranean and for the Obama
administration are quite severe. The Erdogan government is now
saying explicitly something it had implied for the last two years—that
Washington has to choose between two allies, Ankara and Jerusalem.
The Arab Spring, especially events in Syria, and the planned U.S.
withdrawal from Iraq have catapulted Turkey to an unprecedented
level of importance. In fact, it was not a coincidence that the day they
announced their Israel policy, the Turks also gave the go ahead to the
installation of radars for the missile defense system Washington has
been clamoring for so long.
This diplomatic crisis between Israel and Turkey had been simmering
for more than a year. Ever since Israeli forces attempting to prevent a
Turkish-led flotilla from breaking through the Israeli blockade of
Gaza killed nine Turkish participants, the two countries have been
exchanging accusations. The current impasse, however, is the
culmination of a long process of deterioration and makes foes of two
countries whose relationship was once heralded as groundbreaking
and strategic.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan had begun to sour on Israel following Israel’s
