Israel and Turkey

Economy is a social science that explains how people form an interaction with each other. The countries link each other’s with the help of economic relations and they aspire to keep themselves away from the conflicts. Therefore, trade is an effective tool to build the world peace but the impacts of trade are quite complicated at the same time because trade diverts the political competition.
The Middle East is an important region of the world where wars and conflicts change the balances, and the relations of the countries may change with the political actors. In this sense, the relation between the two democratic countries of the Middle East, the cooperation of Israel and Turkey contributes to the peace not only between Israel and Turkey but also to the peace in the region.
The two countries linked to each other in this framework produce 'peace' as a common output. If the nations are connected to each other by profitable commercial relations, their chances of being in conflict will be reduced because they will have serious economic losses if the peace environment breaks down.

Mavi Marmara olayından sonra Türkiye ile İsrail ilişkileri gerildi. Fakat Netanyahu'nun telefonla arayarak özür dilemesiyle ilişkiler yakınlaşma yoluna girdi.

By the beginning of 1997, the two states had secured numerous civil and military agreements, which gave rise to a genuine feeling of a common identity and a mutual future. Özet Bu makale tarihsel bağlamda Türkiye-İsrail ilişkilerine odaklanıyor. Türkiye 1949 yılında Yahudi Devleti'nin varlığını kabul eden ilk müslüman devletti. Bu noktadan sonra Türkiye, İsrail ve Arap Devletleri ile ara-sında kurduğu ilişkiyi dengelemeye devam etti. 90'ların sonuna doğru ise Türkiye ve İsrail arasındaki ilişki daha da kuvvetlendi. Ancak İkinci İntifada'nın gerçekleşmesiyle ilişkiler zedelenmeye başlayarak son dört yılda kopma noktasına geldi. İsrail'deki son seçimler göz önünde bulundurulduğunda İsrail'in Türkiye ile ilişkilerin düzeltmesi gerektiği görülüyor. İki ülkenin ilişkileri düzeltmesi, Arap Baharı'nın getirdiği zorluk-lara karşı göğüs germeye olanak sağlayacaktır.

Although there is no easy solution in sight to the political tension between Turkey and Israel, it seems that music and musicians can play significant roles in building relations at the people-to-people level through mutual cultural and musical exchanges. Music offers a universal common language for those who do not understand Ladino, Turkish, or Hebrew. People just want to have fun and those who come together at a concert neither talk about politics nor about Erdoğan and Netanyahu.
