Tbf Turkey's influence comes from having second biggest military in NATO, and just geographically being in a strategic location.
Meanwhile Israel's influence comes from being a convenient propoganda machine for west. Not as stable source.
Israel could straight up attack Turkey triggering article five and several NATO members, including the US, would immediately back Israel. You can point out how stupid, irrational, and illegal that would be all you want, and you'd be correct, but its still what will happen. That's the level of ideological commitment to Zionism we're dealing with here.
