Ahval

Israel and Egypt are probably going to be pretty much on the same page wanting to keep Turkey out of Gaza as a site of rivalry, Michael Koplow, the Policy Director of the Israel Policy Forum in Washington, DC, told journalist Nervan Mahmoud in an Ahval podcast on Wednesday. Koplow said that the tiny Jewish community in Istanbul feel under pressure following a recent escalation between Israeli army and Palestinian residents in Gaza, which could strain an already tense relationship between Ankara and Tel Aviv.
