What's Behind The Conflict Between Turkey And Israel In Syria?

Written by Damir Nazarov

In recent weeks, the occupiers(“Israel”) of the holy land(Palestine) and the Turks first staged a verbal conflict, and then both sides indicated that they were not interested in a direct conflict between themselves on the territory of Syria.

Although what is happening is of a clowning nature, there is still something to think about. Erdogan’s regime is in a difficult situation on the domestic stage and there is no image of victory in Syria, especially against the backdrop of the strengthening of the Kurds and the dual policy of the Tahrir al-Sham dictatorship, which after capturing Damascus turned away from the Turks towards Riyadh. Ankara justifies its inaction in the anti-Zionist direction by fearing the expansion of the alliance between “Israel” and the SDF, plus Trump’s unpredictable behavior. Therefore, the Erdogan regime developed a “deconfliction mechanism” with the Zionists in Syria and the encouragement of dialogue between Tahrir al-Sham and the “Israelis” back in late 2024. This tactic continues to dominate Turkish foreign policy to this day.

As for Zionism, its concerns about Turkish influence in Syria are not related to the alleged attempt to create a mythical “Ikhwan axis”, but due to Ankara’s special relationship with Iran and the special position of the Turkish Republic in the Chinese Silk Road project. Zionists know that regardless of which party dominates the Turkish leadership, they will maintain a balance in relations with all regional actors, but given that China is betting on the Islamic Republic as the main anti-Zionist and anti-American regional force, Turkey will be obliged to comply with certain directives from Beijing regarding Iran. This includes regional cooperation, political and economic cooperation, and including the future inevitable military cooperation. Thus, despite the “show of force,” Zionism does not want to provoke the Turks once again into retaliatory measures, which would include expanding cooperation with the Iranians in Syria and even with Hezbollah. Let me remind you that the former leader of Jabhat Nusra and the current dictator of Syria stated in his first interview that he allegedly “prevented a major regional war between Israel and Iran, where Turkey would side with Iran.”

The cabinet of the terrorist Netanyahu understands that sooner or later China will still achieve expanded cooperation with Iran on the anti-Zionist front from the Turks, but what is left for the main terrorist of the planet? All that remains is for him to try in every way to prevent the inevitable, for example, by using his old allies, or by offering temporary “deals“. The Turks, for their part, are ready to play along with the Zionists for the time being. Further negotiations in Baku showed that the Turks are even ready for a formal division of Syria, keeping control over the north of the country and turning a blind eye to the Zionist intervention in the south. The stumbling block is the central part of Syria, where Zionism sees Palmyra as neutral, while for the Turks the military airport T4 is necessary in the context of future wars with the Kurds and Takfiris. The Zionists have already dubbed the result of the negotiations with the Turks on the division of Syria as “the new Sykes-Picot“*.

Zionism is in agony, but they can do nothing about it and change anything. In the same Syria, the occupiers boasted of their intervention, but when they approached Damascus, they stopped because they had no strategy. Their “victory” consists of organizing ski resorts and visits of settlers to the newly occupied territories. This is not a victory, this is an “image of victory” from the terrorist Netanyahu for voters. Then, even despite the threats and criticism of the current dictatorship of Damascus, the Zionists are trying to secretly negotiate with them about the forced resettlement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the north and east of Syria. Here, the usual double game of “Israel” is leaking out. The Zionists know that the genocide in Gaza and the seizure of Syrian territories will not bring the plan to revive the “Indian economic corridor” any closer, so they can continue to terrorize the region, taking advantage of the weakness of the Sunni part of the Islamic World.

In general, the entire nature of the enmity between “Israel” and the Turks is not based on the Palestinian issue, but as an enmity of political and economic projects. Zionism is the main component of IMEC, while Turkey plays an important role within the Silk Road.

P.S. It is worth remembering that despite all the pathos of the “conflict” between the Zionists and the Turks, oil trade through Turkey to the Zionists is in full swing.

* – Similar agreements have existed before, as the Tahrir al-Sham dictatorship hinted at when it published a “new map of Syria.”
