Turkish warships will escort aid vessels to Gaza: Erdogan - Sami Aboudi

While Europe pushes Turkey towards the east, Turkey asks itself why it even needs the west. The threat of Russian domination has been dead for decades and the affair in Iraq only let them know how far they were in reality from their supposed allies. Perhaps this is the genesis of a new Pan-Turk axis.

With Egypt in chaos and Syria burning, the only major power in the region is Iran. Turkey could find no better time to return to her past and fill a power vacuum, a democracy with military might willing to take on Israel in a manner no Arab regime could ever dream of. Still ostensibly a member of NATO, Turkey is free to use the power of forcing crisis to empower themselves at the expense of her benefactors.

I think they will end up backing down or turning the crisis away at the last minute. There isn't much real benefit to a military confrontation with the Israelis, only the threat of one.
