“Turkey hates Obama?”
Frankly I doubt that any foreign leaders really like Obama.
“The Turks know they are going to need Israels intelligence support - if not other support - if they go to war against Iran.”
I think this is an area re-alignment against Obama and Iran.
Turkey goes a couple of days without electricity and a week later Erdogan does a 180 on his foreign policy towards Israel. Well, call me paranoid...

Soon after Salman took the throne in Saudi Arabia, he had Erdogan and al Sisi come for a meeting. They are ramping up for a major conflict against the Shi’ite axis led by Iran.
If the US won’t stop Iran’s nuclear program, Israel is the only other realistic option (Russia could do it covertly, but only for an astronomical price).
