This is interesting. Very interesting and not a bit frightening too. For 12 months Turkey sat and did pretty much nothing about the Mavi Mara. It seems there was some sort of forewarning with that too because of the late change of flag from Turkey to ....some African country if I recall correctly. Nevertheless several passengers of Turkish nationality and descent were singled out and murdered by Israeli pirate/commandos in international waters. An act of war in itself. During that time there has also been undercurrents of planned coups against the present Turkish government. Officers arrested and jail time coming for more. The whole of the top level of the each force has been required to resign. New blood allowed in. There were significant signs that some of the coup manoeuvrings had some Israeli involvement. Off shore gas. Land pipelines everywhere. Water. Now it seems the gloves are off for Turkey and Israel. At least the language is very undiplomatic. Turkey talking of invading Iraq/Kurdistan to put down KKK strongholds....and the oil....what about the oil? Friends with Armenia. Why let a genocide or two stand between friends. Israel developing closer ties to Russia and maybe dropping the US.....some thing possible given the number of former residents of the USSR now living in Israel and with business in both places.
Very Byzantine.
