As you all must have heard the statements from the head of the states of both countries, Turkey has threatened Israel about challenging its Gaza Blockade in International Court of Justice. Turkey has also threatened Israel that it will send its navy to the sea, and if needed, it will be seen doing some action. A Turkish official in an interview to its national news paper stated that 'Turkish navy will strengthen presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to stop Israeli 'bullying.'
Things went wrong when nine Turks were killed in an Israeli navy attack on unarmed civilians in a ship (Freedom Flotilla) heading towards Gaza-Palestine. Things were calm until another announcement came up from Turkish Official '' Turkey will send its navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza'
Where would things go if the relationship between both the countries remains strained? Will it lead to a military operation or things will settle down like before when the rift between Israel and Turkey was solely a diplomatic one with strong rhetoric, but no real action was taken on either side or standing face to face against Israel might give other countries of the region a chance to do same?
