| Abstract | "In the shadows of Cold War politics, Israel quietly aligned itself with Turkey's denial of the Armenian Genocide. Why, and at what cost? This book pulls back the curtain on a decade of covert diplomacy, strategic bargains, and the untold calculations that reshaped Middle Eastern alliances. Eldad Ben Aharon traces Israel's diplomatic manoeuvring through key geopolitical events--including, but not limited to, Iran's Islamic Revolution, the July 1980 Jerusalem Law, Turkey's September 1980 military coup and the 1982 First Lebanon War--alongside its covert relations with Turkey. His book also situates these developments within broader regional and global shifts, such as Turkey's 1987 bid to join the European Economic Community, US foreign policy under Ronald Reagan, and the early stages of the American 'war on terror.' Ben Aharon challenges the often-overrated influence attibuted to American Jewish organisations and Turkish Jews in fostering Ankara-Jerusalem ties and shaping Washington's policies."-- Provided by publisher. |
