In 1999, the New York Times reported that the strategic partnership between #Turkey and #Israel had the potential to alter Middle East politics: Trade and tourism were booming, the #Israel Air Force practiced maneuvers in #Turkish airspace and Israeli technicians were modernizing Turkish combat jets. There were also plans for high-tech cooperation and water sharing. #Recep Tayyip Erdoğan paid an official visit to Israel in 2005 and he hoped to play a role in the #Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Relations deteriorated after the 2008–09 #Gaza War and the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid. In March 2013, Israel apologized for the raid, opening a path for normalized relations.[7][8] Alleged Turkish involvement in exposure of Israeli special agents in Iran in October 2013 created further tension.[9] In December 2015, Turkey and Israel held a secret meeting to negotiate restoration of diplomatic relations.[10][11] They reached an agreement on 27 June 2016 to start normalizing ties.[12]
In December 2017, #Erdoğan threatened to break off ties again due to United States recognition of #Jerusalem as capital of Israel. [13] He has not carried out the threat.
