Israel cautions Erdogan on Syria risks
The article addressed the escalation of tensions between Israel and Turkey over the Turkish military presence in Syria. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz threatened that he does not want any party to threaten Israel's security, affirming that Turkey is dragging itself into dangerous adventures in Syria under Erdogan's leadership. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by emphasizing that he will not tolerate a Turkish military presence in Syria that threatens Israel, especially after phone calls with Mossad and Syrian officials. Damascus has indicated that the activities to rehabilitate the "Abu Zuhour" base are not a permanent Turkish military presence, and that the activity there is limited to supporting its air force. It was noted that Israeli strikes against the base were conducted without a legitimate reason, and Syria insists on its sovereignty over its territory. Concerns are rising over the possibility of military escalation following Israeli accusations and directives regarding Turkey's apparent disregard for its demands. Syria also stressed that cooperation with Turkey in certain areas does not indicate any intention for a permanent military presence on the ground.
