Turkey and Israel tensions escalate
Tensions between Israel and Turkey are escalating to unprecedented levels following an Israeli airstrike on Abu Zhour Airport in northern Syria, which has led to open threats and public disputes between the two sides. Reports and experts, such as Professor Eyal Zisser, fear the possibility of a military confrontation resulting from ongoing political and military escalation, though there is a belief that such a scenario remains unlikely at the moment. The historical relations between the two countries have undergone significant transformations since Erdoğan came to power, with Turkey shifting from a Western-oriented, Europe-connected state to a country with an Islamic and Arab orientation, seeking to lead the region. This shift has caused an unprecedented deterioration in relations, especially as disputes over the Mediterranean Sea and Syria have intensified. Experts warn that the conflict could spiral out of control due to misunderstandings or unforeseen escalation, reminding that Turkey possesses a strong military and extensive security and military investments, while Israel is keen to avoid military escalation that could prove catastrophic.
