Summary/Abstract: President Obama's recent visit to Israel, the Palestinian Territories and Jordan attempted to jump-start the stalled peace negotiations and made a very bold point by first resolving the dispute between Turkey and Israel. Since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey maintained a good relationship with both Israel and the Palestinians and is a strong candidate for the role of mediator în their protracted conflict. Some qualities that support its bid include a good economic, commercial and military relationship with Israel; historic, cultural and religious ties with the Palestinians, a supportive Sunni majority, a strong alliance with the US and NATO membership and willingness to act as a mediator to reinforce its position as a regional power.
