Changing Israeli attitudes, strikes in Syria, Turkey may view Israel as regional rival - analysis
This shift is not lost on Jerusalem. Increasingly voices in Israel and supporters abroad are depicting Turkey as an emerging threat, one similar to Iran.
Turkey's ruling AKP party has harbored hostility towards Israel for years, driven by more than just Palestinian support. Ankara's perspective stems from a worldview influenced by Muslim Brotherhood ideology, which unites Hamas and the AKP. As Turkey's view of Israel evolves, it may now consider Israel as a potential regional rival, a shift that wouldn't sit well with US policymakers who view Ankara as a NATO ally and Israel as a key ally.
Following an Israeli airstrike in Syria, Al-Jazeera reported that Turkey views Israeli attempts to undermine the Syrian transition as having severe repercussions for its national security. This transformation in Turkey's attitude towards Israel can be traced back to both countries being led by right-wing and religious parties in recent decades.
