Israel plays down tensions with Turkey over air drill
Israel is engaged in a damage-limitation exercise following Turkey’s decision to exclude Israel from a joint airforce exercise in protest at Israeli actions during the Gaza war. The move marks a new low in the traditionally strong bilateral ties between Israel and its most friendly ally in the Muslim world. The drill, which was to have taken place this week in Anatolia with a number of Nato states, was canceled after the US and Italy pulled out following Ankara’s decision to bar Israel.
