Turkey Isolates Israel in NATO

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

NATO is having a summit in Chicago on May 20-21.

It seems that that Turkey is making it clear that Israel should be banned from the summit.
Behind closed doors Turkey is saying that Israel has not apologized for the flotilla.

Officials of NATO have said that the purpose of the organization is inclusive - and Israel is part of a subgroup of regional committees within NATO.

Officially, Turkey is saying that they have not made any appeal to NATO on the subject. The reality is that Turkey is continuing a campaign to isolate Israel. They are doing their best to try to coordinate condemnation of Israel.

It appears that, this time at least, NATO is not biting at the bait.
