"The spiral of uncertainty in the Middle East is likely to deepen as a result of the debate at the UN General Assembly on recognising the independence of the Palestinian state. Against the backdrop of the insecurity caused by the downfall of the regimes in North Africa this spring, relations between Israel and its main partners in the region, Turkey and Egypt, have quickly gone downhill.
The expulsion of the Israeli ambassador, Prime Minister Erdoğan’s intention to visit Gaza and the threat to step up the presence of its warships in the eastern Mediterranean are incidents which betray growing nervousness on the part of Turkey, in the wake of the publication of the UN report on the Gaza flotilla. Similarly, the incidents at the Israeli-Egyptian border and the acts of violence which forced the Israeli ambassador to be evacuated from Cairo have worryingly aggravated its relations with the first Arab country that signed a peace agreement with the Jewish state.
I think that European diplomacy must take a more active role as a mediator in this region in our own backyard, whose chronic instability has a direct impact on us."@en1
