Israel-Turkey relations without Gaza flotilla raid

We all know that before that raid in 2010, Israel and Turkey had very good political and military relations. So, if Gaza flotilla raid is avoided ( and deaths of Turkish citizens ) never mind now how, what would be the relations of Turkey and Israel?
 
Not much. Erdogan figured out pretty early on that he was able to drastically raise his profile among both Islamists who tended to support AKP and left-leaning seculars who tended not to by having issues with Israel.

It might make things a little less hostile in that time frame, but not by all that much.

Possibly still a little unstable if Israel bombs the crap out of Gaza. But no real tension to lead to a crisis. Almost the same as OTL.

In my opinion, Erdoğan really made a mess with the foreign policy to boost his prestige. At the end he came back to his words and by then the economy got hurt.

Seriously. The Mavi Marmara was a symptom, not a cause. 10 years ago, the Turkish government would probably not have allowed the "flotilla" to sail from Turkish harbors, or possibly brushed off the assault as being Israel's right to enforce her territorial waters. If it wasn't this, it would have been some other manufactured controversy.
