Two outrageous new developments have worsened the already tense relations between Israel and Turkey. Gen. Avi Mizrahi, the head of the Israel Defense Forces' Ground Forces issued a tongue-lashing to Turkey's prime minister to remind the country of past atrocities. It goes without saying that as an army man, Gen. Mizrahi is not tasked with formulating Israel's foreign policy, nor does he appraise other countries. But even more grievous is the liberty he took to denounce and preach morality to a strategic ally, causing a stir in relations between Israel and Turkey."
