Military Intelligence Chief Major General Amos Yadlin offered an explanation Tuesday for the cooling of relations between Israel and Turkey. Speaking before the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Yadlin said: “Over the years, issues between Syria and Turkey have been solved and Turkey, for its part, no longer feels the need to be close to Israel.”
"In the past, Turkey wanted to move closer to the West, beyond being accepted into NATO,” he said. “There are still common strategic interests between Israel and Turkey, but it is not the same strategic closeness that existed between the two nations in the past.”
Distance continues to grow as the Psalm 83 nations solidify their unity against Israel.
