Turkey extends influence over Lebanon
Turkey is seeking to bring Lebanon into its sphere of influence, with a focus on strengthening its presence in the south and along the maritime borders, engaging in direct negotiations over influence in the gas and oil fields of the Eastern Mediterranean. Ankara has proposed participating in a security force instead of UNIFIL, but it faces challenges from Israel and the United States, with Tel Aviv likely to use its veto to block Turkish influence in Lebanon. Despite Ankara's desire to participate, the political costs and confrontations with Israel could hinder the achievement of its goals in the region.
