Erdogan succeeded in understanding Trump - and Israel was left behind | Dr. Nissim Katz
Erdogan succeeded in turning Turkey into a central player vis-à-vis the Trump administration, inter alia around the F-35 deal. In Jerusalem, they must learn the new language of deals of Washington.
Assessment
Turkey's president has positioned his country as a key interlocutor with the Trump administration, particularly regarding the F-35 deal, while Israel appears sidelined. The analysis suggests Jerusalem has failed to adapt to Washington's transactional approach. The question is whether Israeli leadership can recalibrate its diplomatic strategy before further strategic opportunities slip away.
