The Turks will undoubtedly send ‘aid’ to Gaza.
Highly unlikely that they will dock in Cyprus for inspection.
When they send their ‘aid’ armaments to Gaza, they will scream and shout about the West “denying humanitarian assistance”.
Israel will need to inspect maritime shipments into and out of Gaza. This adds a seaborne headache to Israel’s military planning.
Joe Bite-Me’s unilateral decision to build a ‘temporary port’ will blow up in our collective faces. It puts U.S. troops in harm’s way, expands a new front for Israel in the war, offers opportunities for malign actors (Lebanon/Hizb’allah, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Russia, etc.) to resume arms shipments to hamas, and will provide propaganda material to the bad guys.

That’s my read. We’ll see how it plays out... ;)
The Turks tried to break an Israeli blockade years ago. It ended badly for them. Their ships were boarded, scuffles broke out and several people died.
Turkey may try some crap again, but right now they have nowhere to go. We won’t let them use this offshort port. And they can’t deliver directly because Israel has severely damaged Gaza’s little seaport/marina. Maybe you can run a dinghy to the shore if you get past Israel’s navy but you can’t do or delivery much on a dinghy. Otherwise there is no place to bring a boat and I doubt we will let the Turks use it. And I doubt Israel will let them even get close to trying.
