Recep Tayyip Erdogan

While Turkish ministers make provocative claims about Jerusalem, Trump’s ties with Erdogan appear to be easing tensions with Israel, an expert says.

Referring to the fall of the Assad regime, the interior minister said he hoped he would see Jerusalem “liberated” in the same way Damascus was, and that one day “those lands will be ours once again."

It’s not clear whether Ankara is posing as a neutral power or seeking to portray itself as similar to most European and NATO powers that also remained outside the war.

Turkey’s peace process with Kurdish militants stalls as the Iran war deepens instability in the region, with both sides hesitant to take bold steps toward a resolution.

Ankara is realizing that in a Middle East dominated by Israeli technological and intelligence prowess, traditional power might no longer be enough.

Ankara’s anti-Israel campaign under Erdogan signals a deeper strategic confrontation and rising Middle East tensions.

Competing claims over deterrence, restraint, and regional credibility are turning an already damaged relationship into a sharper strategic confrontation.

Turkish President Erdogan says Turkey is working to extend the US-Iran ceasefire, ease tensions, and ensure peace talks continue, despite challenges, while criticizing Israel's Lebanon attacks.

Words are one thing; actions are another. It is one thing for Erdogan to fulminate regularly against Israel. But talk of invasion?
