Israel Vote Turkey Ties
Turkish researcher Bekir Atacan does not expect Israel’s elections—or Gadi Eisenkot’s becoming prime minister—to improve relations with Ankara. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats, short of a majority, while Arab parties secured 19, complicating efforts to form a government. Atacan attributes the ongoing tensions to disagreements over Syria and Gaza and to declining trust, stressing that changing the prime minister alone will neither end the rivalry nor alter policy. Although Turkey is open to diplomatic compromise, he believes de-escalation will not last without a genuine shift in Israel’s approach, and that continuing current policies could lead to confrontation.
