Erdogan Builds Sunni Alliance Against Israel

The article discusses Turkey's maneuvers led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to strengthen its regional influence through the creation of a new Sunni axis aimed at reducing Iran's dominance and weakening Israeli influence in the region. It highlights Turkey's signing of a tripartite defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, seen as a strategic move to establish new regional balances, supported by Saudi financial capabilities, Turkish defense industries, and Pakistan's nuclear potential. Erdoğan also seeks to expand Turkey's presence in Syria, enhance its role in Gaza, and incorporate Egypt into this alliance, with the goal of turning the Palestinian cause into a tool for Turkish influence. The article clarifies that Turkey aims to elevate its status as a regional leader, though confronting this expansion requires a shift in Israeli regional policy, which is currently weak and struggling, thereby complicating the challenge of Turkey's expansion—one that could pose greater risks than conflicts with Iran.
