Nach Luftschlag in Syrien: Spannungen zwischen Israel und Türkei nehmen zu
Nach einem Luftangriff auf einen Militärstützpunkt in Syrien, an dem türkische Truppen stationiert werden sollen, droht in der Region ein weiterer Konflikt. Die USA wollen deeskalieren.
Jerusalem and Ankara - Following an Israeli airstrike on a Syrian military base, tensions between Israel and Turkey are escalating. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of dragging his country into "dangerous adventures in Syria" during a Thursday appearance on the X platform. Israel vowed it would not allow its security to be threatened, warning Erdogan not to test Israel's "resolve to defend itself."
The Israeli military had just bombed the Syrian base of Abu al-Duhur, citing Damascus' recent approval of a Turkish troop deployment. The Turkish government denied this, stating no Turkish military delegation had been present at the base prior to or during the attack. Turkey pledges to continue supporting Syria in building its military capabilities and infrastructure, while urging the international community to take concrete action against Israel's actions.
Israeli officials urged the cessation of such reckless strikes to maintain peace in the region. Meanwhile, Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Schaibani emphasized that there had been no plans for a Turkish base in Syria, with Turkish officers merely visiting the base as part of military cooperation.
