Israel's electrical project with Greece and Cyprus triggers Turkey
The article focuses on the increasing tensions between Turkey and Israel, particularly regarding the submarine cable project that connects Greece and Cyprus, which is also aimed at eventually linking Israel to the electricity grid. Reports indicate that Turkey is attempting to establish a new reality on the ground through the creation of marine protected areas, the deployment of drones, and rapprochement with countries like Libya and Syria, all as part of the "Blue Homeland" strategy to expand its maritime influence. Ankara also expresses strong confidence in its capabilities and views France’s participation in the project as an European step; however, it does not guarantee protection against Turkish escalation. Meanwhile, tensions surrounding this project—both of which consider it vital—could potentially lead to military or diplomatic escalation, as Turkey pushes to consolidate its influence at the expense of Greece and Cyprus. There are concerns that such actions might create on-the-ground realities that are difficult to change.
