Foreign Minister Lieberman formulates series of tough moves in response to Turkish steps; Israel to cooperate with Armenian lobby in US, may offer military aid to Kurdish rebels

#3  Lieberman therefore decided there was no point in seeking creative formulas for apologizing, instead choosing to focus IsraelÂ’s efforts on punishing Turkey.

Opted out of the apology tour? The Israelis are not so naive.

#2  I think Israel has an even bigger opportunity by courting Greece, as a "white knight", in exchange for extensive relations in the future.

While they cannot afford to bail Greece out, they could do a little, like give Greece some trading preferences, that would be worth their weight in gold to reduce the painful pressure on Greece from all directions right now.

A whole bunch of little, inexpensive things on the unwritten condition that in the future, Greece remains their friend. That costs very little, and would bug the heck out of the Turks, which would make it even sweeter for the Greeks.
