I wonder if the IDF should charge the Turks for the rescue? :)

Well, Israel does know that Turkey has pockets full of U.S. dollars at the moment...

This shouldn't surprise anyone really. Turkey and Israel are both militarily effective states and need all the friends they can get. In 2001, they held their first joint war games with the U.S.

I'd say they are allies.
