A question asking your opinion
Reader comment on item: Another Voice Predicting Islamism's Doom
Submitted by Alexandros (United Kingdom), Jul 5, 2016 at 06:01
Dear Dr Pipes,
I am waiting to see your opinion on the Turkish-Israeli re-approach which is currently taking place. What do you think that drove this situation? How do you think it is going to affect the relations in the region and if you think that it is an embarrassment for Israel and a defeat. I mean is a gas-pipe worth to get a boss in the region like Erdogan or his successors as a matter of fact? Or is it that people in Israel believe that the Turks will forget about neo-ottomanism?
Regards,

Daniel Pipes replies:
I have not written about it because there could well be parts of the agreement that have not been made public, so one would be judging on the basis of incomplete information. From what we do know, the deal is a sensible one or not from Israel's point of view depending on how much its leadership trusts Erdoğan, something I hope to learn more about.
