A new level of closeness
The three countries in the new alliance ? Israel, India and Turkey ? share a great deal in common. They are a trio of regional superpowers, and their highly-regarded armed forces operate successfully in dangerous neighborhoods.
All three nations have large Islamic populations ? and worry increasingly about the growth of Islamic fundamentalism.
Furthermore, all three nations embrace modernization and secular societies. This trio is also hugely dependent on energy imports ? although together they lie proximate to the great energy basins of the Persian Gulf and the Caspian.
Beyond these common interests, Israel and the Turkish military (as opposed to the Turkish state) have been cooperating closely, at least for the past five years. For example, the Israeli Air Force uses Turkey's far larger airspace for training. The two nations' pilots ? like their two navies ? exercise together.
