This study analyzes Türkiye’s multi-identity foreign policy through its approach to the Palestinian question. Türkiye’s Palestinian policy is shaped by its Western, National, Islamic, and Post-Imperial identities, produced by historical and social accumulation. The interplay of internal and external political dynamics has brought different identities to the fore in various periods. At certain times, Türkiye’s Palestinian policy was shaped by multiple identities. This study focuses on 1980-2011 when many domestic and international ruptures occurred. These deep ruptures are one of the main factors behind the frequent changes in Türkiye’s identity. Ankara’s fluctuating policy towards Palestinian question can also be considered in this context.
