Within the space of a few days, Turkey announced that it had arrested a supposed spy ring operated by Israel’s Mossad, and informed the ambassadors of the U.S., France and Germany that they should expect a deportation order from Ankara. What is all the noise about? We discuss the latest developments with Louis Fishman, an expert on Turkish politics who divides his time between Istanbul and Tel Aviv.
Later on this week’s episode, we hear from Martin Indyk, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and author of the newly released “Master of the Game: Henry Kissinger and the Art of Middle East Diplomacy.” How would Kissinger respond to this week’s Israeli announcement of new construction in West Bank settlements, and what did the Clinton administration fail to learn from the master? Listen to the full discussion with host Amir Tibon.
