| Summary/Abstract |
During the 1967 crisis, Yitzhak Ya’akov (nicknamed Ya’tza) was the senior Israeli Defense Force (IDF) staff officer in charge of weapons development, and as such acted as the chief liaison between the IDF and all civilian defense industries, including the nuclear project. This edited transcript documents one of a series of conversations that Avner Cohen had with Ya’tza, in Hebrew, in the summer of 1999 at Ya’tza’s residence in New York City. A longer version, slightly redacted due to security and privacy considerations, was posted on the website of the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) in 2017.

| Summary/Abstract |
Turkey’s relationship with the Yishuv, or Jewish community, has been ambiguous since before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Most of the literature features the later years, whereas the 1960s seem to have been forgotten or merely superficially discussed, mostly because the decade is perceived as belonging to the Cold War era, and, in many respects, only a continuation of the previous decade. Drawing primarily on the Israeli and Turkish State Archives and bulletins from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this article examines Turkish–Israeli relations during this decade and argues contrary to the prevailing view that the crisis during the deterioration of relations was not a result of the 1967 Arab–Israeli War or the rise of the then Turkish Prime Minister Süleyman Demirel’s government, but rather represented a conscious shift in Turkey’s foreign policy that sacrificed its relations with Israel, arguably for more urgent interests such as strengthening ties with the Arabs.
