JERUSALEM – The recent surge in Turkey’s military actions against the Kurds in northern Iraq is an indication that, somewhat surprisingly – but not entirely unpredictably – Turkish foreign policy has undergone a 180-degree turn in less than two years. The Turkish offensive is also an indication that these changes go beyond the current tensions between Turkey and Israel, which are just one facet of much deeper trends.
耶路撒冷——最近，土耳其对伊拉克北部的库尔德人展开了大规模军事行动，这表明土耳其的外交政策在不到两年的时间里来了一个180度的大转弯——有些令人意外，但也不能说完全不在情理之中。土耳其的攻势还表明，这些变化已经超越了近期土耳其-以色列紧张局势的范畴，后者只是更深层趋势的一小部分。
