Tel Aviv considers Syria bases and opposes Turkish expansion
Israel is headed toward escalating its stance regarding developments in Syria, hinting at the possibility of establishing permanent military bases within Syrian territory if Turkey expands its presence there. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen stated that Israel may be compelled to undertake direct military settlement to protect its security, especially if Turkey establishes new bases in the region, expressing concern over potential shifts in the balance of power along the northern border. These remarks come amid intensifying regional and international competition for influence in Syria, amid the continued presence of foreign forces and rising tensions between Israel, Turkey, Iran, and other actors, which could lead to an escalation of indirect conflicts in the area.
