Turkish presence in Syria poses threat to Israel due to Ankara’s NATO combat doctrine, expert warns
"What we saw about a week ago... is essentially a red line, an Israeli declaration that Israel does not want to see any kind of Turkish presence in central Syria," said Dr. Eitan Hai Cohen.
An expert warns that Turkey's growing military presence in Syria poses a significant threat to Israel due to its NATO combat doctrine. Dr. Eitan Hai Cohen, in an interview with 103FM, discussed Turkey's strengthening economic and strategic ties with the United States, which could lead to a new foothold for the US in Syria. Cohen noted that Turkey has positioned itself as a mediator between Syria and the US, and has begun training Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
The construction industry in Turkey is very strong, and Turkey has a clear economic interest in Syria's reconstruction. The Turkish military's approach is seen as more advanced than those of Arab countries, and Israel must consider this capability.
