Since the beginning of Israeli-Turkish relations, their ties have been greatly affected by the Arab-Israeli relations. After a decade of close economic, diplomatic, and military ties, their bilateral relations became strained in 2000. The Second Intifada, the rise of Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party (AKP), the Second Lebanon War, and the Israeli-Gaza conflict are all the factors that have strained such relations. There are many economic and security reasons for Turkish-Israeli cooperation. Using a descriptive-analytical approach examining the context of Turkish-Israeli relations, this article shows that despite the common interests, the differences in the political approaches of the two countries preclude the complete resolution of the disputes. Although the 2016 reconciliation sparked bilateral cooperation in recent years, it is still too early to talk about wider security and diplomatic cooperation. This article argues that as long as the AKP holds power in Turkey, diplomatic relations remain limited as it has historically been possible to make a distinction between economic interests and political differences for the two countries.
