Israel and Turkey near clash amid Syrias risk
The article addresses the escalating tension between Israel and Turkey, where the dispute is shifting from a political to a military nature, with the possibility of a direct confrontation, especially in Syria, which has become a battleground for competing interests. Following the Israeli airstrike on the Abu al-Zuhur base in Syria in August and Turkey and Syria's rejection of Israeli explanations, reports have expressed concerns that this escalation could push Turkey towards military retaliation. The report highlights that the relationship between the two countries was closely intertwined militarily and security-wise during the 1990s. However, the current escalation has led to a breakdown in that rapprochement, with Israel considering the deployment of Turkish bases or systems in Syria as a red line. This situation presents a significant challenge for the United States in managing the rising tensions and minimizing the risk of broader military confrontation.
