Israel Seeks to Bolster Its Economic Relations with the Middle-East Countries, Is Turkey No. 1 Option?
KABUL: (Middle East Press) According to the latest statistics released by the Israeli government, the overall volume of trade between Ankara and Tel Aviv reached a stunning figure over $5.44 billion during the fiscal year 2014.
The enormous volume of Israel-Turkey bilateral trade clearly indicate a consistent and unwavering policy of augmenting the financial ties since 2011 , whereas the two administrations endeavor diligently to conceal their secret political and military liaison. Furthermore, many Turkish and Israelis Economists believe the growing economic ties between Israel and Turkey will endure for years to come.
Two years after Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Turkey over Gaza flotilla incident, the two countries co-operated closely on disparate subjects (e.g., Syria’s civil war, Iranian nuclear program and Iraq’s predicament).
Never did impede the colossal business transactions between Ankara and Tel Aviv, The Turkish-Israeli specious and sometime fabricated confrontations are all but means to save Turkish President’s face in front of the Middle-Eastern nations.
Turkish President Erdoğan’s support for Hamas and Gaza civilians all turned to be sham, hypocrisy and only to soothe Turkish public anger over Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians.
Faced with rigid regional boycott and the complete isolation imposed by the international community, Israel looks for a staunch regional ally which many consider Turkey’s Erdoğan as the most qualified candidate.
