I don't know. In ~30 years when most of the mideast oil has run out and the strategic appeal of Israel becomes geopolitically irrelevant enough that the US stops sending them $3 Billion dollars a year and not use it's UN vetos as much it could certainly happen. Turkey is actually forecast to become the regional power again in the next 50 years. I could DEFINITELY see them getting their house back, although the lunar religious right is currently being indoctrinated to blindly support Israel and a necessary pre-condition for the second coming of Jesus so I'm sure there will always be support from the US even if it wanes very considerably.
