Enforced Departures, Anxious Arrivals. A Turkish Diaspora in Israel

Türk diasporası üzerine kapsamlı bir çalışmaBy Karel Valansi

in Routledge Handbook of Turkey's Diasporas
editors: Ayca Arkilic, Banu Senay


ABSTRACT 

Drawing immigration was one of the main objectives of the newborn State of Israel, and this policy generated a strong pull factor for Jews worldwide. However, the mass emigration from Turkey was a surprise even to Israeli authorities who were not expecting such large numbers from a country where Jews were not expelled from or faced an existential threat. Nearly 40 per cent of Turkey’s Jewish community emigrated to Israel during 1948–1951. This mass migration was Turkey’s second-biggest emigration wave following labour emigration to Europe from the 1960s onwards. Despite its significance, Turkish Jewry is an understudied topic, especially in Turkish migration and diaspora studies. This chapter scrutinises the trajectory and current state of the Turkish Jewish diaspora in Israel. It presents an overview of the subject matter, including the historical background of Turkish Jews, their reasons for emigration, and how they have reconstructed their identity in Israel.

“We are Beyond What I Had Dreamed of When I Moved to Dubai”

Cem Habib  We talked about how the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates affected the Jewish life in the Emirates, with the investment manager Cem Habib, who has been living in Dubai since 2016, and who is one of the founding members of the Jewish Council of Emirates (JCE), the first officially recognized Jewish community of the UAE. How long have you been living in Dubai? What influenced you in deciding to live here? I moved to Dubai in 2016, before I had been living in London. My customer base at that time was in Kazakhstan and it had gotten harder commuting there from London every month after 6 years. There were three direct flights between Dubai and Kazakhstan, every day, with a flight time of less than 4 hours. To improve our quality of life and to spend more time with the kids, we moved to Dubai. When moving, how could you overcome the thought “As a Jew, will I be comfortable living in an Arab country with my family?” I talked to my friends from different cou...

Ontological Insecurity and Emotional Governance in Turkish Foreign Policy

Ontological Insecurity and Emotional Governance in Turkish Foreign Policy Karel Franco Valansi & Erman Ermihan https://www.globacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/GA-Reports-Ontological-Insecurity-and-Emotional-Governance-in-Turkish-Foreign-Policy.pdf  February 2026 Abstract This paper examines how ontological insecurity and emotional governance shape Turkish foreign policy behavior under the Justice and Development Party (AKP). Moving beyond rationalist assumptions, it argues that Türkiye’s assertive and often reactive diplomacy reflects a struggle for a stable self-identity amid shifting regional hierarchies and perceived external threats. Emotional narratives—particularly pride, humiliation, and resentment—play a central role in legitimizing foreign policy decisions and framing Türkiye’s relations with the West, the Middle East, and domestic audiences. Understanding this emotional-ontological nexus offers crucial insights into Türkiye’s sometimes unpredictable foreign pol...
