Turkey's Dilemma: Erdogan's Rhetoric vs. Actions on Israel

Welcome to The Joe Ligato Show! I'm your host, Dr. Joe Ligato. In today's episode, we delve into a critical discussion surrounding the diverse perspectives of Muslim governments worldwide on what we've come to term as the "Judeo-Islamic War of 2023." We're breaking down a Twitter thread from a source known as "Odd Things Online," and I'll offer my insights, including areas of agreement and disagreement with these perspectives.

First, we explore the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where a complex narrative unfolds. The UAE seems to be positioning itself as the "Middle Eastern Switzerland," using influencers and religious leaders to deter boycotts and protests. Their concerns range from perceived threats by Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, resulting in a perceived conspiracy against their alliance with Israel. Join us as we scrutinize the intricacies of their involvement in the UN to support Palestine.

Moving on to Saudi Arabia, they're in the midst of pursuing their Vision 2030 to diversify their economy beyond oil. But the presence of Shakira is raising questions about their priorities amid the ongoing Palestinian crisis. We examine Saudi Arabia's stance and their potential involvement, especially in light of the challenges facing the Islamic world.

Turkey, once a powerful advocate for the Palestinian cause, appears to have lost some of its influence. President Erdogan's leadership seems hesitant, leaving us to question Turkey's role in this unfolding crisis. Should Turkey play a more significant part in advocating for the Palestinian cause?

We also discuss Jordan's position, as they navigate a delicate balance. While the public condemns Israel, their policies haven't seen substantial change. Meanwhile, Egypt's role in this complex scenario appears to be influenced by external actors. We explore the dynamics at play in this critical region.

Algeria's stance, given its history, holds particular interest. Are they doing enough to support Palestine? In the case of Qatar, they have been a major backer of Hamas, facing the pressure of an ever-evolving crisis. We'll delve into their pivotal role and how they're navigating this tumultuous situation.

Kuwait emerges as a surprising player, as we examine their stance and support for the Palestinian cause. They stand out in the midst of shifting regional dynamics.

Lebanon, with the Hezbollah in the spotlight, takes on an important role in assisting the Palestinian cause. We assess their contributions and potential risks in this multi-dimensional crisis.

Our journey also takes us to Pakistan, the only nuclear power in the Islamic world. We explore their internal political struggles and the potential impact on their stance regarding the Palestinian crisis. An intriguing note is the warning issued by Pakistan regarding Iran, adding a layer of complexity to the situation.

This episode sheds light on the evolving dynamics in the Islamic world as countries grapple with their responses to the "Judeo-Islamic War of 2023." We navigate the intricate web of geopolitical interests, regional disputes, and the passionate desire of the masses to see justice for Palestine. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion.
