This article discusses Turkey's reaction against Israel following the publication of the Palmer Report after it was leaked to the New York Times. In the time that elapsed between the flotilla and the publication of the Palmer Report, far reaching changes have occurred in the Middle East that may help calm Israeli-Turkish relations. These developments have brought Turkey closer to the West and distanced it from Iran and Syria. Although Israel sees this as a positive development, it has not brought with it an improvement in bilateral relations with Turkey.
