Turkey has been blocking NATO-Israel cooperation since October.

▪️Turkey argues that NATO should not cooperate with Israel until the war in Gaza is over.

▪️Turkey has vetoed all NATO-Israel interactions since October, including meetings and joint exercises.

▪️Turkey maintains that Israel’s massacres of Palestinians in Gaza are against NATO’s founding principles.

▪️Turkey will continue to block NATO-Israel cooperation until the war is over, preventing Israel from continuing or developing its interactions with NATO.
I am not sure whether there are any effect of this considering US support to the Israel. So it's more like symbolic.

No effect at all. Countries within NATO are continuing cooperation with Israel on a bilateral level. If such a veto creates a big impact on Israel's national security I am sure that the countries interested in cooperation with Israel will establish a new body in order to bypass Turkiye's NATO veto. We are talking about Israel here, the spoiled child.

What can be done is very limited. We should have never accepted the NATO-Israel deal in the past (Erdogan voted in favor of it).

You should always act within the bounds of possibility in the world you live in, not some imagined world. Haste, reaction, ideological ossification are on the top of the list of things you don't want in your political leader.
