#2 Makes business sense, normalizes relations with Turkey, reduces Russian influence, yeah, it all sounds nice. Except that Israel and Russia seem to have an understanding about who is bombing who and/or festivities near Israel's border. Be a shame to lose that.

Plus we have yet to see any sign of Putin's retribution for the downed jet. Whatever Erdogan has to offer, Putin can offer the Israelis more. (for the record, I have not in any way mentioned traditional Turkish duplicity)

#4 It would be better for Israel to enter the spot market in SE Asia, little politics and plenty of money and avoid the lunatic Turks.

#5 According to the Jerusalem Post, the two countries are approaching normalizing relations. But one of the stipulations is that Turkey has to give up allowing terrorists to operate there, so probably that will blow up before very long.
