Ankara and Tel Aviv are engaged in 'de-confliction' talks to 'share the spoils' in Syria
Israel is "very optimistic" about ongoing deconfliction talks with Turkiye, which may allow Ankara to maintain a "limited" military base in Syria, the Times of Israel reported on 11 April...
A Turkish official speaking with The Times of Israel also spoke positively regarding cooperation between both countries in Syria...
Turkish intelligence strongly supported ISIS during the 14-year war to topple Syria's former President, Bashar al-Assad.
Earlier this month, Israel bombed several airbases in Syria, claiming it was a warning against Turkiye from establishing a "protectorate" in the country..
In July 2024, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened his country could intervene militarily in Israel's war on Gaza...
However, according to Turkish journalist and foreign policy expert Gulriz Ergoz, Israel and Turkiye are cooperating in Syria to "divide the spoils" after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad at the hands of the Sharaa and HTS in December.
Ergoz noted that Erdogan committed Turkiye to play its role in the Israel-led restructuring of West Asia that began under the influence of Jewish neoconservatives in the Bush administration some two decades ago...
After the victory of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2002, Erdogan stood in the White House and declared strategic alignment with the US "not only on Iraq but on many other issues," Ergoz noted.
By 2005, former US president George W. Bush was openly thanking him for his "strong support" for the project...
Ergoz added that despite public arguments with Israeli leaders – like Erdogan's famous "One Minute" confrontation with then-Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres at Davos in 2009 – his anti-Israel rhetoric has largely been directed at “domestic audiences while leaving Ankara's structural alliance with Tel Aviv untouched.”
