An Israeli Gas Pipeline to Turkey :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Carlos de Souza (India), Dec 21, 2015 at 04:46

An extremely bad idea indeed. Israel would be exceedingly foolish to go ahead with the pipeline irrespective of pressure being mounted on her.

What she should do is go through the motions for as long as possible giving Erdogan the impression that the pipeline is in the making, but do nothing about it. Shalom, Israel.
