Özet: Turkish-Israeli relations, which are important in the Middle East, were excellent in the mid1990s but suffered from ups and downs between 2000 and 2005. Turkish-Israeli relations, which celebrated their "golden age" after 1996, reached their lowest point in 2003-2004. This can be explained by changes in the balances between countries in the Middle East and by internal factors in the two countries. It can be argued that the "golden age," which began with the birth and strengthening of a shared threat perception, deteriorated in the absence of the threat perception. This article examines the structural and conjunctional factors in Turkish-Isreali relations and attempts to predict how those factors may affect Turkish-Israeli relations in the near future.
