US military analyst makes striking comment: "The real threat to Israel is Turkey"

Macgregor stated that if Israel launches a ground operation, it will fail. Emphasizing that the operation would not be able to destroy Hamas, Macgregor used the following expressions:

“Other countries in the region, like the rest of the world, are tired of Israel, and Europe is now tired of us. What I mean is that we are on the brink of a world war. This is what needs to be understood. If Israel conducts a ground operation into Gaza, the desired success will not be achieved. But they still seem eager. If they go in, they will not only lose soldiers, but they will also not be able to completely destroy Hamas.”

“THE REAL THREAT IS TURKEY”

Stating that Iran could use nuclear weapons, Macgregor indicated that the real threat is Turkey. He claimed that Erdoğan holds an important place for Sunni Muslims in the world.

Macgregor continued as follows:

“The Turks do not have good memories of Israel. Just a few years ago, ships going to Gaza with aid were raided by Israel and civilians were killed. Something like this will not plant seeds of support and friendship for Israel among the Turks.

Pakistanis are also very close to the Turks. If the Turks want, they are ready to provide nuclear weapons for deterrence against Israel.

“IT WOULD BE DOOMSDAY FOR ISRAEL”

The Turks are the country with the largest air and military power in the region. It wouldn't even take a month; they could amass two million soldiers in the region. And the Turks are very ruthless warriors.

If they enter Gaza, everything I have listed would be doomsday for Israel. What I have listed describes an unwinnable war. Even if the US provides air support, it will not be enough.

We all know that we do not have enough soldiers to fight them on land or at sea.”

“TURKEY CAN LEAD ARAB STATES”

Macgregor also made the following post on his social media account:

"Turkish President Erdoğan has offered to mediate between Hamas and Israel, but Erdoğan himself warned that the war would not stop 'within a week or two.'

Turkey is a country with a population of over 80 million and is the only actor in the region with the social cohesion, war culture, and military power to lead Sunni Arab states in a conflict with Israel.

“CAN ESTABLISH LARGE ARMIES AND AIR FORCES"

In a regional war, Turkey can establish large armies and air forces equipped with modern weapons and led by disciplined and determined warriors.

The emergence of a regional Sunni Muslim alliance directed by Ankara and financed by Qatar revives the specter of advanced conventional warfare for the IDF, a form of warfare that only a few of today's IDF leaders are familiar with."
