Since Turkey is a member of NATO and we are not technically allied with Israel by any treaty, would Obama come to Turkey’s aid if asked?

I wonder if our Military commanders would on the other hand.

NATO is a defensive alliance and if Turkey was picking a fight with Israel, NATO would be under no obligation to join in.
Whether the Obamanation would join in anyway is anybody’s guess.

Here’s a better question....
if 0bamao responded affirmatively to a Turkey request that the NTO treaty be invoked, would our military take arms against Israel?
