Flotilla: US Closer to Choosing Friends -- Israel or Turkey - Politics & Gov't - Israel News - Israel National News
The flotilla crisis has pushed U.S. President Barack Obama closer to having to choose whether he prefers Israel or Turkey as a friend, with the specter of a nuclear Iran hanging in the balance.
The United States “is torn between allies,” The New York Times reported Wednesday. Correspondent Mark Lander wrote, “The deep rift between Israel and Turkey, which had cultivated close ties, puts the Obama administration in a tough spot on two of its most pressing foreign-policy issues: the Middle East and Iran.”
The Los Angeles Times reported, ”The Obama administration has tried to walk a fine line in a part of the world where there is usually little political or physical space for any compromise.”
