Why israelian pop music is always copying music of Turkey and Greece ? And why do they do it so bad ?

I noticed that many israelian singers try to compose songs with turkish and greek inspirations, and they are very bad at it... I mean that they do it in a really boring way, with too much buzuki, and always the same melodies. For Israelis citizens : I'm sorry for my awkward question, I didn't wanted to hurt anyone. I just wonder why Ottoman music is sometimes used by other countries...

1. yes you are right there are many songs that are similar in Greek, Turkish and other Mediterranean languages! sometimes I dont know which is the original one! :) but it happens all the time I really dont mind, we all copy each other! and if there is a Turkish or Arabic or whatever song that it is nice, I would like to hear it in Greek too and vice versa! music is to unite people! just enjoy those songs!
2. Because Israel is a mediterranean country now
3. does it matter that they copy or just sound like us - who cares?? I sure don't - If I like it I will listen and if I don't like it I won't - I do have a question for you however! copying from the OTTOMAN???? wow! still living in the old days???
4. I think they are giving it their best effort but simply trying too hard to emulate Kazanztidis, Mouskouri, Dalaras and I apologize for not knowing any Turkish musicians. Perhaps a closer cooperation with Arabs who live in Israel could produce better results. An earthquake improved friendship between Greece and Turkey.
5. Israelis copy us are interest in the Greeks and Turkish songs especially now they see a hate to hate situation turns to love to love can you believe that?
