The New York Times: The rivalry between Turkey and Israel has increased the risk of conflict
In a new analysis, The New York Times wrote that the tension between Turkey and Israel has gone beyond a war of words and has turned into a geopolitical and military competition in Syria, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Horn of Africa.
According to this newspaper, Syria is the most dangerous point of confrontation between the two sides. Turkey wants a stable and centralized Syria, while Israel opposes Turkey’s increasing military presence in the south of this country. The recent Israeli attack on the Abu al-Duhur airbase has also been evaluated within this framework.
Analysts say the increase in military activities by the two countries raises the risk of miscalculation and escalation of tensions, but a direct war between Turkey and Israel remains unlikely, especially considering the U.S. efforts to prevent a confrontation between its two allies.
