Turkey and its Role in the Influence Race in Lebanon
Turkey is seeking to enhance its influence in Lebanon as part of its strategy to reshape the balances of the Arab Middle East, especially amid the decline of Iranian and Western influence. Ankara relies on its relationships with Syria and its support for Lebanese institutions, including the army. It is engaged in developmental projects and providing university scholarships to strengthen its image as an influential, long-term actor in the region. This influence aims to open energy corridors, promote sectarian and security stability, and is part of its effort to counter Iranian influence and threaten Israeli interests, with a focus on Lebanon's position as a bridge to energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean.
