TOUGH TALK FROM TURKEY , BUT WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?
I must admit Erdagon's blistering speech about Israel was a little unnerving.
It's important to realize that speeches given in the Middle East are often not meant for the Western population.
This was probably more of a "campaign speech" than it was a true message to Israel .
I say that realizing the Islamification of Turkey plays a huge factor in the current relationship between Turkey and Israel .
Erdagon's speech given in Egypt didn't go unnoticed by the Egyptians as well.
There may be a level of cooperation between the MB and Turkey , but that doesn't negate the long standing competition between Turkey and Egypt .
History, runs deeper than religion between these two and the Ottomans Vs the Egyptian battle of egos is not lost on this speech today.
When you look at what has happened in the past six months, it is difficult to discount the fact that Israel has lost a relationship with both Egypt and Turkey ; two countries that helped keep a balance in the Middle East .
The second event that happened today was not as much as surprise to me, but it may have stunned others.
With the Palestinian Authority announcement they are " going for broke", the world, especially the US and the EU need to start playing " what if".
The game plan for next week's actions needs to be very well thought out.
The problem is, no one has a lot of time to do so.
Tomorrow night, I will walk down the trail of what this means and what the repercussion could be... in detail.
