Turkey's Strategic Moves Pose Growing Threat to Israel, Analyst Warns
Yoni Ben Menachem, a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, has raised concerns about Turkey's increasing strategic threat to Israel. He argues that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is working to establish a new Sunni bloc in the Middle East, potentially replacing Iran's influence in the region. This development could reshape the regional balance of power, with Turkey aiming to expand its influence alongside Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan. Erdogan's recent accusations against Israel and threats of military action have further strained relations between Ankara and Jerusalem, raising the possibility of severed diplomatic ties.
