Over the past month, Turkey’s rhetoric against Israel has escalated from antisemitic attacks on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to threats of war, while Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan—an influential figure and possible successor to Erdoğan—declared that Israel and “these people” have become a burden on humanity.

Yet President Donald Trump continues to describe Erdoğan as a good friend and is preparing to visit Turkey, while considering allowing Ankara to obtain F-35 stealth fighters—aircraft that could dramatically strengthen the Middle East’s largest NATO army, even as Turkey grows increasingly hostile toward America’s closest regional ally.

So, what do you say: Is Turkey a friend or foe of the United States?
