Abstract
Diplomatic relations between the Republic of Turkey and the State of Israel are at an historic low. Though the trajectory of the relationship over the last half century is characterized by consistent fluctuations, never has the shift been so steep and so sudden. Although the "flotilla crisis" (Mavi Marmara) of May / June 2010, when Israel did a tragic mistake by targeting Turkish civilians, was the catalyst for the breakdown in relations, anuanced understanding of Turkish foreign policy development will demonstrate that diplomatic bifurcation was inevitable. This paper will make the case that the rise of Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, and his un ique foreign policy paradigm, which this paper describes as the Davutoğlu doctrine, is an important factor in the reorientation of the Turkish foreign policy within the dramat ic reorientation due to identity debates which caused an extraordinary shift in the TurkishIsraeli relations.
