The press is alive this morning with reports of the secret meeting between Israeli and Turkish ministers. Since this obviously isn't a secret at all--every detail of the meeting appears to have been leaked to every organ of the Turkish, Israeli and international media simultaneously--I'm once again left scratching my head and wondering just what kind of game these crazy local kids are up to now.

Anyone up for another round of Ricochet Risk, Middle East Edition?

It sounds like a case of "stop us please before we become more secular again.."

This is where Turkey argues that, though they will continue to undermine Israel in public and join the call for the slaughter of Jews everywhere, they'll always be friends deep down. This needn't affect trade.

I think it's an old fashioned tushie covering. Turkey really doesn't want to have the Israelis in a war with them, because the Israelis would tear them apart. Not to mention, they'd make The Great Satan angry.
