"Mending a strained alliance
By ALON BEN-MEIR

The joint exercise, which takes place every few years, was canceled indefinitely after Turkey canceled Israel's participation, causing the US and Italy to forgo the exercise in response. This public rebuff is one of many in a string of events that has shown Turkey's visceral frustration with Israel's handling of its incursion into Gaza late last year."
