Erdoğan warns: Israel endangers Syria and regional stability!

Antalya, Türkei - The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has made a decision against Israel and accuses the country of targeting conflicts in Syria in order to undermine the "revolution" against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Erdoğan expressed these allegations at an international conference in Antalya. He emphasizes that Israel heats up ethnic and religious tensions and has minorities against the Syrian government, which endangers the stability in the region. According to Erdoğan, the Syrian “Revolution” could offer an opportunity for stability that should not be missed. In his statements, he describes Israel as a "problematic country" that has aggression against Lebanon and Syria and thus contributes to instability.

The relationships between Turkey and Israel are already heavily burdened. Erdoğan in particular criticizes the Israeli head of government Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he accuses of committing a "genocide" in the Gaza Strip. As a result, Turkey has completely hired the trade with Israel. Another focus is the support of Türkiye for the Syrian transition president Ahmed al-Sharaa, whose Islamist troops recently plunged the Assad government.

military presence and conflicts

After the Fall of the Assad regime at the end of 2024, Turkey drastically expanded its military influence in Syria. It is now the main supporter of the new rulers in Damascus. Israel, on the other hand, sees this military presence of Türkiye in Syria threatened and fears that Turkey's supported groups could act against his interests. A former Mossad official warned that Israel is actively against the stationing of Turkish troops in Syria.

international reactions and attempts at mediation

The tensions between Turkey and Israel are also important in an international context. US President Donald Trump has offered to mediate between the two countries and described his relationship with Erdoğan as positive. He rates the Turkish president as "very smart". However, political analysts and security experts warn of the risk of a military collision and require a clear intervention by the United States to prevent possible war.

The developments in Syria show that the conflict not only has a regional dimension, but also influences the geopolitical balance in the Middle East. In particular, the military presence of Türkiye and the associated tensions with Israel could have far -reaching consequences.
