Turkish ties have been made stronger and better with most middle eastern countries like Syria, Iran, ... All countries that have not been known as friendly countries to the West.
At the same time the Turks are loosing intrest in joining the EU, much less turkisch people want to join it than 5 years ago. Turkish EU-membership is also not wanted by 2 of the biggest EU members France and Germany, this could result in Turkey making an "middle-eastern Union" or a "muslimworld-union".
Turkish deterioration of its ties with Israel could have an effect on its relations with the Western world (that is strongly allied with Israel), only recently Israel joined a very prestigious European trade organisation. US has chosen sides openly: that it will support Israel no matter what happens. Europe will probably side with Israel as well.
