Authors: Carol Migdalovitz, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: This report provides an overview of unprecedented developments in the relations between two important U.S. allies, Israel and Turkey. It details both the significant military and growing civilian dimensions of the ties, summarizes the history of the ties, and analyzes each government's complex motivations to reach out to the other. It describes the mild domestic and generally harsh regional criticism of this growing association. The implications for other U.S. policies concerning Israel, Turkey, and the region, particularly the Arab-Israeli Free Trade Agreement (P.L. 99-47, June 11, 1985) and the Arms Export Control Act (P.L. 90-629, October 22, 1968).
