It has been alleged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who believes that a conflict with Turkey is inevitable, will hold an 'emergency' meeting with security officials to discuss the situation in Syria. It was noted that Netanyahu and senior figures have assessed the possibility of a conflict between Turkey and Israel as 'inevitable'. According to the claim, Netanyahu will discuss 'proposed solutions' with officials to prevent Turkey's increasing military presence in Syria.
It was announced that Netanyahu would hold a meeting with security officials regarding developments in Syria. Israeli officials are expected to evaluate the potential consequences of Turkey's growing influence in Syria on regional balances during the meeting.
According to a report by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, the influence Turkey has gained in the region following the collapse of the Ba'ath regime in Syria on December 8, 2024, will be on the table. The newspaper underlined that Netanyahu and bureaucrats view the possibility of a conflict between Turkey and Israel as a certainty.
Israel ended the ceasefire with Hamas that began on January 19 and resumed its attacks on Gaza. According to the statement by the Gaza Ministry of Health, the number of Palestinians who lost their lives as a result of the resumed attacks has exceeded 50 thousand. Al Jazeera claimed that the actual number could be over 150 thousand.
NETANYAHU'S SYRIA 'CONCERN'
In a report by Israel's Channel 12 television, it was reported that Netanyahu is 'watching with concern' the rapprochement between the new administration in Syria and Turkey. The meeting will address Turkey's increasing presence in Syria and its potential impact on regional security.
The Israel-based news site Walla claimed that the Syrian administration is conducting advanced negotiations with Turkey. According to the report, Syria plans to hand over a military base in the Tadmur (Palmyra) region of Homs province to the Turkish army in exchange for economic and military aid. It was stated that this situation is a serious source of concern for Israel.
The Israeli army has increased its military operations in the region following the collapse of the Ba'ath regime in Syria. Expanding its occupation zone in the Golan Heights, Israel has continued to target the remaining military infrastructure of the regime. According to the claims, it was assessed in previous security meetings that there is a high probability of Turkey and Israel coming face-to-face in Syria.
