| Summary/Abstract |
Turkish-Israeli relations, which had reached the level of strategic cooperation by the end of the 1990s, started to decline after 2000 and Turkey's approach to Israel has changed considerably as a result of huge transformations in international, regional, and Turkish domestic politics. The Israeli Operation Cast Lead in December 2008-January 2009 and the "One Minute" incident at Davos in January 2009, however, initiated a continuous crisis situation, which reached its peak in the May-June 2010 Mavi Marmara crisis. This article aims to analyze the causes of change in the Turkish perception of Israel by focusing on three key factors: Justice and Development Party ideology and actors, power vacuum in the Middle East, and Turkish foreign policy discourse of grandeur.

| Summary/Abstract |
The deterioration of relations between Israel and Turkey, culminating in the "Gaza flotilla" affair of June 2010, are part of a reorientation in the Turkish foreign policy over the past several years: a move away from the West and toward Muslim states and non-state groups, including such radical actors as Iran, Hamas and Hizballah. This article reviews the rationale for the Israeli-Turkish strategic partnership in the 1990s and the early years of this century. It then documents deviations in Turkish foreign policy from Western patterns. Next it examines how changes in Turkey's twenty-first century strategic environment, as well as in the domestic arena, led to a reorientation of Turkish foreign policy and to current tensions in bilateral relations. And finally, it assesses the impact of the changes in Turkish foreign policy on the Greater Middle East and global politics.

| Summary/Abstract |
Cooperation between Israel and Turkey has always been important for both states. In line with the historical process, although relations between the two countries have fluctuated from time to time, they have always been maintained at a certain level. An incident that caused tension in relations between the two countries occurred in Davos on January 29, 2009 causing global repercussions. This study analyzes the Davos incident within the context of Atatürk's national policy, and is based on an analysis of the relevant news in the Turkish media, as well as on interviews of the opinion leaders of the Turkish Jews. The analysis aims to evaluate reflections in Israel and Turkey on the 2009 Davos meeting, within the context of Atatürk's national policy and in relation to the views of the opinion leaders. As a result of the analysis of four newspapers with different publication policies, it was determined that conservative newspapers commented that the Davos meeting had been positive for Turkey. On the other hand, a newspaper with a leftist world view reported the news with exactly the opposite comments. In the interviews, opinion leaders evaluated the Turkish prime minister's words as serving to factionalize Turkish Jews, by giving them a feeling of insecurity, and to mobilize radical factions in the society.
