This is it, the last straw. Turkey now has no diplomatic ties with Israel and that begins a new chapter of interaction between the two countries. They are now effectively cut off from any dialogue, any talking will have to go through an intermediary or the UN. This is a bad sign for Israel, and Turkey is showing it's Islamic/sharia muscle-flexing to garner more support from jihadists and Islamists. With increased support there will come increased agitation and sabre-rattling, the target being Israel and the US by extension. Israel is the little Satan, we are the big Satan and as such will incur the wrath of jihadists with the same vitriol and venom as will Israel.
Say goodbye to any hope of cooperation between Israel and Turkey, and watch for Turkey to throw all their support behind the refugees and their demand for statehood at the UN later this month.

Turkey tells Israeli diplomats to leave
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey deepened its rift with Israel on Monday by vowing to work for the recognition of a Palestinian state at the United Nations and by saying it has notified high-level Israeli diplomats they have two days to leave the country.
Late last week, Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador after Israel refused to apologize for the botched Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound protest flotilla that killed nine pro-Palestinian activists last year. Israel has expressed regret for the loss of lives.
A U.N. report released last week called the Israeli raid "excessive and unreasonable," but also said Turkey and flotilla organizers contributed to the deaths.
The dispute has brought relations between the once-close allies to the verge of collapse, and injected a new element of instability into an already volatile region.
Turkey said Monday it has notified Ella Aphek, the Israeli Embassy's deputy head of mission, that she and other senior Israeli diplomats must leave by Wednesday now that Turkey has decided to downgrade its diplomatic ties with Israel to the level of second secretary.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Monday that Turkey will work to lobby other nations "until we obtain the highest number of votes" for a plan by Palestinians to seek recognition as a state at annual meeting of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly beginning on Sept. 20.
On Saturday, Davutoglu said Turkey would start procedures to challenge Israel's naval blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands.
The United States has indicated it will veto any Palestinian statehood vote in the absence of a negotiated Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
Palestinians hope a U.N. vote in their favor would isolate Israel and put heavy pressure on the Israelis to withdraw from captured territories.
"Recognition of a Palestinian state is not a favor for the Palestinians, it is the Palestinian people's most natural right and our debt to them," Davutoglu told a news conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' adviser, Nabil Shaath. "It is time to pay the debt."
A natural right to take advantage of historical revisions,lies and false facts in order to destroy Israel and the Jews. The only debt is what the Arab league, Jordan and Syria owe the refugees; their land promised to them in 1948.
