Ignoring the finger-pointing, the practical outcome is that Israel can cross another ally off the list. You can bet that Israel won't be willing to apologize and try to redress the offence to Turkey, because Israel truly has no regrets when it comes to using any amount of force in response to a threat, no matter how disproportionate or diplomatically insensitive.

Israel is building a self-fulfilling prophecy where it really is Israel alone, isolated, and surrounded by enemies. It acts only in the interest of Israel, and any country which fails to take its allies' interests into account will eventually find itself without any allies.
