9. Why don't Israel and Turkey cooperate on getting basic relief supplies

to the Palestinians. The Palestinians would probably reject anything that Israel sent on its own, and Turkey probably can't get through the Israeli lines on its own.

On the other hand, if Israel has a say in the delivery of the supplies, it won't have to worry so much about weapons or other things it would not like to see on its borders being given to the Palestinians.

Sounds like a plan to me -- a first step at least.

Turkey's reluctance is inexplicable. Turkey is not one of Israel's neighbors, and it used to have good relations with Israel.

This would be a chance for it to put Israel on the spot. Seems like it is win/win for all.
