Turkey Finally Accepting Aid from Israel
| |
| Summary |
Initially Turkey turned down aid from Israel. Turkey suffered a devastating earthquake, killing some of its citizens as well injuring many others. The earthquake also caused damage to buildings and roadways. Israel offered aid to Turkey right after the earthquake, yet Turkey turned the offer down. Last Turkey reversed the offer and welcome aid from Israel. Both parties said the aid between them did change how the countries “felt about each other.”

| Analysis |
Turkey did not want help from Israel, because they thought it weaken their power. It would make other states consider them as a weaker actor in the power system of the world. However Turkey soon realized with all the damage they could not do it alone and they need aid from Israel.
