Fast Draw – Israel And Turkey Reach an Agreement
Israel and Turkey have reached an agreement for normalizing their relations. This is definitely a good thing, but the Israeli government has a tendency to run forward much too fast, and here lies the danger.
The agreement includes compensating Turkey for the losses on the deck of the Marmara ship, where the Israeli navy took over the ship making its way towards Gaza.
One issue the agreement doesn’t include, which makes it so problematic: In the past, during the relationship’s golden age, there was multi-layered security cooperation between the two countries. This cooperation included joint maneuvers but mostly Turkish procurement of Israeli military systems. Back then deals were made and more deals were planned but everything stopped with Israel taking over the Marmara.
