چکیده:
The relationship between Turkey and Israel، as two impactful countries in the Middle East، is of great important، especially for Iran. The close relationship between these two countries in 1996 gave rise to serious threats against Iran. However، it seems that in the last decade، especially following the rise of the Justice and Development Party (the AKP) to power in Turkey، a kind of tension and coldness began prevailing in Ankara-Tel Aviv relations، entailing positive consequences for Iran. Thus، it is important to consider the relevant domestic، regional and trans-regional developments as well as their impacts on the relationship between Turkey and Israel and their repercussions for Iran. Considering this relationship in the past decade، this paper concludes that the two countries’ relationship continues to diverge، but it is still far from breaking off. This development would benefit Iran’s foreign policy، which is currently undergoing certain challenges in the region.

Introduction This paper tries to answer reads: "how the developments in the Turkish-Israeli relationship in the past decade affected these two countries’ relations and what are their impacts on Iran?" This question has not fully answered by authors who have written on the interaction between Iran, Turkey and Israel such as Oslon(2001), Orfa Bengio(2004), Goerge E.
Robert Bulent Answering this question, the authors assume that "the development in the Turkish-Israeli relationship has brought about divergence in their relations, thus creating political and security opportunities for Iran, including a larger margin of maneuver in the region, the decrease in the likelihood of fresh disputes, the non- formation of anti-Iranian regional alliances and the decrease in the Israeli margin of maneuver vis-à-vis Iran.
Especially, following the advent of the Islamic parties, the economic factors, such as 1995 - 2001 crisis in Turkey, military factors, such as the increase in the PKK power and the support of Turkey’s neighbors for it, partisan and religious factors, such as the Welfare Party and AKP roles were influencing turkey’s foreign policy.
Thus, a combination of factors, including the Turkish solidarity with the Palestinians, Turkey’s closer relationship with Iran and Syria and the way Israel approached the Kurds, caused relative divergence in the Turkish-Israeli relations compared to the 1990s (Kibaroglu, 2005: 262).
