If one safely goes back to a cliche always relevant in the Middle East, about my enemy’s enemy being my friend, Turkey is certainly not yet Israel’s friend again, even though it is less vehement a foe than it used to be until recently. It is more like my enemy’s friend, the enemy being HAMAS in Gaza, while Israel has the friendliest of relations with two of Turkey’s adversaries, Greece and Cyprus. But with the onset of a new administration in Washington considered hostile to the Erdogan regime but reputed to be susceptible to Israeli arguments, Ankara seemingly inches closer to Jerusalem. Is it really so, and if it is, what’s the next step up this road?
