Oh, that's an easy question. It will never happen. Why? Because they're both US puppets in the region.

You can't look at what the leaders of these countries say. You look at what they do. Turkey's population, for example, is extremely sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians. Erdogan will even get up there and bang the drums about Israel's evils. But that's just to placate the populace. In reality, he's done absolutely nothing when he could fatally wound Israel if he so chose.

There are allegations Erdogan's family (his son, specifically) is still doing business with Israel. Israel and Turkey have largely cooperated with the collapse of Syria. Both regimes simply cannot exist without material support, arms specifically, from the US.

What could turkey do? Cut off Israel's energy imports. IIRC ~40% of Israel's energy comes from Azerbijan from a pipeline that transits Turkey. Erdogan could absolutely shut it off if he wanted to. That would absolutely cripple Israel.

But he doesn't. Because he's not actually opposed to Israel.

Domestic military production in Turkey is ramping up especially in air defence while currently building the "Steel Dome" obviously inspired by Israel's Iron Dome [0] and partially in response to Israel's military conquest. Israel funded the PKK in Syria to attack Turkish armed forces [1] though the PKK have recently dissolved.
