(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Turkey has postponed¹ a joint² air force drill after opposing Israel's participation³, the Israeli army says.

以色列军队称，在反对以色列的加入之后，土耳其推迟了一场联合空军演习。

US aircraft were set to take part in the exercise

The regular exercise to improve international aerial（空中的，空想的） cooperation was to involve several Nato air forces.

But Israel's exclusion⁴（排除，除外） led to the United States and Italy refusing to take part in the exercise either.

Relations between Israel and Turkey have cooled since Ankara criticised Israel's offensive in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip in December and January.

Turkey and Israel have previously⁵ enjoyed close military cooperation and conduct joint naval⁶（海军的，军舰的） exercises.

The two countries share intelligence and have strong trade ties, following a military cooperation agreement in 1996.

Turkey is one of the few Muslim countries to have relations with Israel, but these have been under strain（紧张，拉紧） since the Islamist-rooted AK Party was elected to power in 2002.

In January, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan publicly criticised Israel over the Gaza campaign and walked out on Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum⁷ in Switzerland.
