Abstract
THE PRESENT TEXT TRIES TO ANALYZE TURKISH -ISRAELI RELATIONS IN THE NEW CONTEXT OF REGIONAL GEOPOLITICAL DYNAMICS.

A CENTRAL ROLE IN THIS EQUATION CAN BE PLAYED BY SAUDI ARABIA, WHICH THROUGH ITS OIL POLICY MANAGED TO FORCE QATAR TO RETHINK ITS FOREIGN POLICY IN THE REGION WHICH INEVITABLY LEADS TO THE RISK OF ISOLATING TURKEY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
