Diplomatic and military ties between Israel and Turkey have slipped to a new low as reconciliation talks collapse. Both sides warn of limited contact while the U.S. weighs action in Syria over alleged chemical weapon use. Turkish and Israeli officials cite eroded trust and stalled diplomacy since 2008 Gaza events and the 2010 flotilla raid.

Officials pointed to Assad’s forces over a suspected chemical attack near Damascus, while noting no public proof links top leaders. The plan includes briefings with House and Senate leaders as intelligence notes lower-level commander discussions.
