After yesterdays announcement that Turkey was blacklisting Israel in upcoming military maneuvers, Israel has wisely stated they are going to reevaluate their weapons sales to Turkey.

After drill cancellation, Barak says Turkey major player in ME
While Israel kept a low official profile concerning Turkey's Anatolian Eagle exercise, several defense officials said on Sunday that advanced weapons sales to Turkey would now be reviewed, and a leading academic expert on Israeli-Turkish relations suggested ending support for Turkey on the Armenian genocide issue in Washington if the deterioration in ties continues.

The officials would not reveal which new military platforms Turkey had requested.
