Israeli analysts' opinion on Erdogan's statement that Turkey will attack Israel
According to analysts, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that Turkish troops will attack Israel as they entered Karabakh and Libya has created an alarming situation. First of all, it was mentioned that there is a strong internal pressure within Turkey to strengthen measures against Israel.
According to analysts, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that Turkish troops will enter Israel, as they entered Karabakh and Libya, created an alarming situation.
It is noted that although the probability of the threat's realization seems low at the moment, it should not be forgotten that Turkey has a drone base in Northern Cyprus and an important fleet with large capabilities.
According to analysts, Erdogan's statement can be explained by three main factors. First, there is strong domestic pressure within Turkey to step up measures against Israel, which bore fruit in early May when Turkey announced a full economic embargo on Israel.
Second, there is growing resentment in Turkey about the continuation of the war in Gaza and the possibility of a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon, as well as Turkey's lack of influence on the development of events. Finally, since the beginning of the war, Erdoğan has stated that Israel has expansionist intentions in addition to what is happening in Gaza and Lebanon, and is also threatening Turkey, thereby proving the conspiracy theories that exist among the Turkish public.
Along with all this, it is impossible not to mention that the influence of Turkish Foreign Minister Khan Fidan, who previously headed the Turkish intelligence organization, is growing.
The rhetorical battles between Israeli decision-makers and Erdogan, particularly the tweets of Foreign Minister Israel Kats , are fueling the crisis, and there are no signs that they are leading to restraint on the Turkish side.
Israeli analysts are of the opinion that additional players, first of all the USA, should be involved in response to Turkey's threat. Western countries are interested in Turkey , which is a member of NATO, entering into a military conflict with Israel.
Washington did not take Turkey's decision to impose an economic embargo on Israel seriously, and it is unclear whether there is a sufficient understanding of the seriousness of the relationship between Turkey and Israel due to the number of events that are taking place.
De-escalation of tensions between the parties requires intensive behind-the-scenes diplomacy. In any case, Israel is dealing with enough fronts that it should make every effort to contain as many provocative statements by Ankara as possible.
