Does Turkey turn the Arab spring into the Israeli summer?

Description

This paper deals with the Turkish-Israeli relations after the Mavi-Marmara crisis in 2010 within the framework of mutual interests. Additionally, Turkey’s role as a secular and democratic “model state“ as a partner of the USA will be analyzed particularly in light of its relations to Syria, Iran and the Arab states, in which uprisings took place. Through this policy, Turkey realizes its interests to increase its power in the region and Israel profits security-wise. Because of mutual interests, it is unlikely that both states will finally abstain from one another.
