You seems to have missed the main topic of this thread, booth Israel and Turkey are looking warm to good relations again and one of the major resons is because transporting gas throught Turkey is way cheaper than laying a huge underwater pipeline which btw would have to be paid by Israel or someone else but surely not by Greece or Cyprus.
About being strategic you really wanna tell me Greece and Cyprus can replace Turkey regarding strategic relationship? Lol Israel just used Greece to piss of Turkey why else would they welcome reconciliation if Greece could take Turkeys role?
Same goes for Egypt btw, have you seen the statement of Eygptian Foreign Minister regarding Turkey-Egypt relations?
Most Arabs dont believe in it either and neither do they want Turks as their leader nor do Turks want to be involved in ME clusterfuck.
