“Israel and Turkey enjoyed [a] very good relationship in the past. Unfortunately the Turkish government decided to deteriorate and to escalate the situation between Israel and Turkey … Now it’s up to Turkey, the Turkish government and Turkish leadership to decide whether they want to be part of any kind of cooperation in fighting terrorism … this is not the case, so far as you probably know.” (Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon during a press conference in Athens with Greek counterpart Panos Kammenos, 26/01/2016)
