“The threat from Syria could evolve into something even more dangerous than the Iranian threat,” the report said.
For a direct conflict with Turkey, Israel must prepare according to the latest report of the Nagel Committee on the defense budget and security strategy.
The commission, set up by the government, warns that Turkey’s ambitions to restore Ottoman-era influence could lead to heightened tensions with Israel, which are likely to escalate into conflict.
The report points to the risk of Syrian factions aligning with Turkey, creating a new and stronger threat to Israel’s security. “The threat from Syria could evolve into something even more dangerous than the Iranian threat,” the report said, warning that Turkish-backed forces could act as proxies, fueling regional instability.
The committee’s assessment comes amid Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly aggressive policy in the region, which some analysts say is at odds with Israel’s interests.
