🇮🇱🇹🇷 Israel’s real confrontation with Turkey is about losing control of the post-war Middle East, not simply one Syrian airbase Tel Aviv's latest strike on Syria came shortly after a Turkish delegation visited the airbase it targeted, immediately raising the question of whether Netanyahu and Erdoğan are drifting toward a direct confrontation. Political analyst Sami Hamdi doesn't think that's quite what's happening. Israel can't afford a war with Turkey, but what it wants is Turkey contained, because Ankara is rapidly becoming the principal power behind Syria's reconstruction. Syria barely has a functioning military after years of war, so Turkey is helping train its forces, develop its security apparatus and rebuild its capacity to defend itself. And Erdoğan has become the major international patron of Ahmed al-Sharaa's government in Damascus. For Israel, Sami argues, the danger isn't what Syria can do today; it's what a united, rebuilt, Turkish-backed Syria could become 15 or 20 years from now. That's why southern Syria matters so much. Sami believes Israel wants to keep a buffer zone there before Damascus becomes strong enough to prevent it. The problem is that Syria has an obvious response: if its troops can't secure the south without provoking Israel, why not ask Turkey to help? Turkey is a NATO member, Erdoğan has Trump's ear, and Ankara can provide the military protection Damascus currently cannot provide for itself. Suddenly Netanyahu faces the possibility of Turkish influence stretching from northern Syria through Damascus and potentially toward Israel's doorstep. So Israel strikes. Not, in Sami's assessment, because Netanyahu wants to fight Erdoğan head-on, but because he wants to establish a red line before Turkish involvement becomes impossible to reverse. And this is where the story gets much bigger than Syria, because Sami believes Israel is confronting something it hasn't had to deal with for decades: Washington is beginning to see the region differently from Netanyahu. Israel wanted America fully committed to the war against Iran, but Trump pulled back and moved toward economic pressure instead. Israel wants maximum freedom of action in Gaza, but Trump increasingly wants his Board of Peace implemented. Israel sees Ahmed al-Sharaa as a future threat, while Trump sees a potential partner. And now Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are constructing a new regional security architecture through the Mecca agreement, which Syria may join, and Egypt could eventually follow. For perhaps the first time, Sami thinks, people inside Washington aren't simply looking at Israel's enemies and asking how America should restrain them. They're increasingly looking at Israel and asking whether Netanyahu is the one making regional stability impossible. Sami Hamdi سامي الهاشمي الحامدي

ISRAEL ALMOST STARTED A WAR WITH TURKEY, AND NO ONE, NOT EVEN TRUMP, SAW IT COMING… Israel’s strike in Syria almost started a war with Turkey, and Trump’s Special Envoy just gave me an extraordinary account of how it happened According to Ambassador Tom Barrack, Israel received intelligence suggesting Turkey might be moving military assets onto a Syrian airbase. Washington checked, and confirmed it WAS NOT happening. The concern was communicated, the intelligence was examined, and Syria believed the issue was being handled through diplomatic channels, including a two-hour backchannel discussion between Syria’s foreign minister and the head of Mossad. Then jets appeared anyway, and Israel struck the runways without notifying either Washington or Turkey. That's where this stopped being another Israeli strike on Syria and became something potentially far more dangerous. Turkey saw the aircraft approaching and, not knowing their purpose or target, began confronting the possibility that it would have to scramble its own jets. It could have triggered a direct military confrontation between two of America’s most important regional partners, one of them a NATO member. Asked why Israel would take such a risk, Ambassador Barrack offered two theories. One was a catastrophic breakdown in communication between Mossad, the IDF and Netanyahu’s office. The other? “The Israelis were baiting the Turks.” My bet is on the latter… Behind all of this sits an even bigger strategic contest. Ambassador Barrack says Israel wants Syria kept clear of military systems that could interfere with its access to Iran, describing Syrian airspace as providing Israel with a “clear line of sight to Iran.” Turkey, meanwhile, is becoming increasingly entrenched as a military and political power inside the new Syria; so this wasn’t simply another airstrike. It was a glimpse of the fault line emerging underneath the post-Assad Middle East: Turkey wants to help build and secure the new Syria; Israel wants to ensure that Syria can never obstruct its freedom to strike Iran. For a few extremely dangerous moments, those two ambitions appear to have nearly met in the sky. And next time, cooler heads may not get there first. Ambassador Tom Barrack

🇮🇱🇹🇷🇸🇾⚡️ The confrontation between Israel and Turkey over Syria is escalating rapidly, with Jerusalem now publicly accusing Ankara of attempting to expand its military footprint toward Israel’s borders. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office released a video claiming intelligence had uncovered plans to deploy Turkish forces at Syria’s Abu al-Duhur military airbase. Israel says Damascus was repeatedly warned against allowing such a deployment before Israeli forces struck the facility. At the same time, Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek announced that Ankara had requested Interpol Red Notices for Benjamin Netanyahu and Afek Moskovich, linked to alleged crimes against Global Sumud Flotilla activists, including accusations of genocide, torture and crimes against humanity. Netanyahu’s office responded with an unusually aggressive attack on Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, calling him an “antisemitic dictator” and accusing his government of violence against Kurds, harboring Hamas members, occupying part of Cyprus and imprisoning political opponents and journalists. Jerusalem further accused Erdoğan of attempting to extend Turkish aggression against Israel into Syria and vowed that attempts to intimidate Israeli leaders and soldiers would fail. What began as competing strategic interests in post-war Syria is increasingly becoming an open Israeli-Turkish geopolitical confrontation. Israel appears determined to prevent a permanent Turkish military presence that could constrain its freedom of action, while Ankara has no intention of abandoning its growing security relationship with Damascus. With both sides now combining military pressure with increasingly hostile political rhetoric, Syria risks becoming the principal arena where Israeli and Turkish regional ambitions directly collide.
