Trump-Erdogan pact shifts Middle East role
Reports indicate that Turkey plans to expand its influence in Lebanon in coordination with American interests. This will be achieved through understandings with Hezbollah, mediations with Syria, support for energy projects, and the potential deployment of Turkish forces as a replacement for UNIFIL troops in southern Lebanon. This move comes after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's visit to Turkey, which is viewed as the beginning of a deeper Turkish engagement both politically and militarily, with backing from Washington. Ankara aims to strengthen its role in Lebanon to ensure regional stability, reduce Iranian influence, and safeguard its security and economic interests—especially as the UNIFIL mission is set to end in 2026 and efforts to revive cooperation projects in energy and transportation between the two countries are underway.
