[Q]: Barak is the first Israeli official to visit Turkey since the diplomatic feud that erupted Monday after Israel's deputy foreign minister  Danny Ayalon  summoned Turkish Ambassador Ahmet Oguz Celikkol to complain about a TV show. The ambassador was forced to sit on a low sofa without a handshake  while Ayalon explained to local TV stations that the humiliation was intentional. Outraged  Turkey threatened to recall the ambassador  forcing Ayalon to apologize.
 Barak on Sunday met with Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to discuss the latest crisis. He is also scheduled to meet Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul later Sunday.
 Barak and his fellow Labor Party member  Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer  have significantly warmer relations with Turkey than Ayalon and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's ultra-nationalist party.
 Upon his arrival in Turkey  Barak was greeted warmly at the airport by a Turkish admiral. His first stop was at the mausoleum of modern and secular Turkey's founder  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk  whom Barak praised as an inspiration in making the region "one of peace and security."
[A]: Barak


[Q]: Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .
[A]: Ted Cruz
