BOMBSHELL Dropped By Israel Names Their Next Target?

Right, so Israeli expansionism gets little if any mainstream mention, the Greater Israel plan still very much expanding away, yet it affects the whole of the Middle East as they eat up more and more territory and now another target nation may be in their sights before much longer as a swipe at Turkey from Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar holds more than a loaded threat, on a collision course as they are in Syria as Turkey aims to seize more territory from the north and Israel encroaching further from the south west, leaving the new administration being led by the completely unelected former Al Qaeda cast off that is Ahmed Al Sharaa being pulled in two directions, with Turkey apparently helping Al Sharaa draw up a new Syrian constitution, whilst Al Sharaa continues to tell Israel they wat to be friends and pose no threat to them all to no avail. Check your skin colour sunshine, you might spot the issue Netanyahu has with you.
Of course a good chunk of Turkey is also in the frame under the vision for Greater Israel and some might suggest it’s a dose of karma given Turkey has been keeping Israel’s oil supply going on the quiet, whilst publicly attacking Israel for their atrocities in Gaza, so will there be any sympathy for them, more a serves them right attitude, or should we be more concerned about Israel’s ongoing expansionism rather than worry about how many faces Turkey has on show?
Right, so let’s begin with Gideon Saar and his comments because this sets the scene for how Turkey now fits into Israel’s ongoing attacks.
Israel’s Foreign Minister has been making a bit of a berk of himself on the world stage, a guy who only came back into Netanyahu’s cabinet last year along with the rest of his New Hope Party. Don’t let the name fool you, it is yet another right wing Israeli political party, something they seem to have no shortage of, following the departure of Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party, all to keep Netanyahu’s rancid coalition afloat, Saar having taken his party out of the coalition several months previously when overlooked for the foreign minister role, it could be pointed to as a sign of Netanyahu’s desperation that Saar got the job in the end.
Well he’s no stranger to controversial statements and it is one of these that has brought possible conflict with Turkey into conversation, but which actually starts with the matter of Hezbollah in Lebanon. You see Saar has claimed that Hezbollah is being aided by Iran, and that this aid is being routed through Turkey, as the Times of Israel have gleefully explained:
‘Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Monday accused Turkey of cooperating with Iranian attempts to smuggle money to Hezbollah in a meeting with a bipartisan group of US senators.
During the meeting at the Foreign Ministry, in which seven senators and Deputy Middle East Special Envoy Morgan Ortagus were present, Sa’ar told the group that Iran has stepped up its efforts to finance Hezbollah, and that Turkey has been an active participant in the process.
“There is an intensified Iranian effort to smuggle money into Lebanon for Hezbollah to restore its power and status,” Sa’ar said, according to his office. “This effort is being carried out, among other channels, via Turkey and with its cooperation.”’
These accusations are not just inflammatory—they’re dangerous. By framing Turkey as a conduit for Iranian support to Hezbollah, all part of a well worn and previously effective propaganda line to shift global opinion in their favour against another state. Whether Turkey has been acting as a conduit for Iran remains unproven, but when do Israelis every get asked for proof? But what is known is that despite Turkey’s public condemnation of Israel’s actions both in Gaza and more lately in Syria, where Turkey have significant vested interests too, Turkey have still been funnelling Azerbaijani oil through to Israel to keep the lights on, so Saar’s rhetoric might jeopardise that if he goes much further and indeed if Turkey and Israel come to blows as both seen to gain more influence and more territory in Syria, now under now administration.
Given Turkey are so keen on gaining influence with Syria, who are still largely anti Iranian, despite alleged communications between Syria and Iran having been opened, at least indirectly, aiding Iran right now wouldn’t help Erdogan’s designs on becoming Al Sharaa’s bestest buddy and indeed Syria remains a bone of contention between Tehran and Ankara as well, so what Saar is saying doesn’t make much sense, but as I’ve already state, Israel can say what they like, they never get asked to back it up.
Saar’s comments both in regards to Turkey and on other matters as well have not gone unnoticed though. The Hind Rajab Foundation, or HRF, a human rights organisation based in Belgium, which I discussed in a video the other day regarding the arrests of IDF soldiers holidaying abroad, have called for Saar’s arrest too during his recent visit to Belgium. The foundation accuses Saar of inciting violence and perpetuating false narratives to justify Israel’s aggressive policies.
If Saar wanted to tone down the very rhetoric getting him into trouble so much, his reaction to the HRF won’t have helped matters on that score:
‘Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar when asked about the Hind Rajab Foundation filing a complaint against him:
“I’ve heard about the ridiculous complaint filed against me by a gang of Holocaust deniers, supporters of abducting Israeli civilians and admirers of the late [Hassan] Nasrallah."
“It has no significance whatsoever, and I am certain that this visit will be successful in advancing our foreign relations.”
When Sa'ar mentions "this visit," he is referring to his upcoming visit to Brussels, Belgium, for a meeting with the EU-Israel Association Council.’
An organisation named after a 6 year old little girl that Israel killed, are Holocaust deniers, Hamas supporters and Hezbollah supporters and their input is an insignificance. I mean he went for the treble there in his very short response, don’t hold back with your bulls**t by any means, what a delightful creature he is, not.
Back to the matter of Syria though and Turkish and Israeli involvement there, which strikes me as part of the real reason for Israel’s sudden lurch at Turkey. Both Israel and Turkey have been actively involved in the Syrian conflict, but their goals couldn’t be more different. Israel has been conducting airstrikes in Syria, targeting what it claims are Iranian-backed militias, along with weapons caches they didn’t want the new regime of Al Qaeda and Islamic State leftovers to have, as well as advancing their own positions, building military outposts and seizing significant water reserves for both Syria and neighbouring Jordan.
On the other hand, Turkey has been trying to seize territory in northern Syria, ostensibly to create a buffer zone against the Kurds, who they have for a long time had significant beef with. But many see this as an attempt to expand Turkish influence within Syria at the same time.
These competing interests have put Israel and Turkey on a collision course not just politically but territorially in Syria as both make ground towards the other with no real idea of how far either may expand their field of influence. Throwing a further can of worms into that picture is the fact that Gideon Saar, back again, has also suggested Israel formalise ties with the Kurds, which, if it were to be successful, could halt Turkey in it's advancement in Syria, but it’d be a picture the world should eye with suspicion – Israel aided Al Sharaa for as long as it was convenient, in order to overthrow Assad, but as soon as that was done, they became the invaders. Any alliance with Arab groups in the Middle Easrt should be a warning to those groups that Israel will only back them for as long as they may prove useful.
It all leaves Ahmed Al Sharaa’s government walking a tightrope. On one hand, Syria needs to rebuild after years of civil war, and that requires cooperation with regional powers like Turkey, especially as they help draft a new Syrian constitution. On the other hand, Syria can’t afford to alienate Israel, which has shown a willingness to use military force to achieve its goals, won’t leave their territory despite being asked to, and who don’t seem interested in the diplomatic route Turkey has opted for.
It’s a delicate balancing act, and one misstep could have catastrophic consequences. But the real question is: can Syria—or any country in the region—truly maintain neutrality in the face of Israel’s expansionist ambitions? The Greater Israel plan takes Israel all the way past Damascus after all.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s internal politics are adding another layer of complexity to this already volatile situation. Recent reports indicate that Turkish police have detained hundreds of Kurdish journalists, academics, and politicians, all crackdowns that are part of a broader campaign to suppress Kurdish dissent, it all adds to the deep resentment between Turkey and the Kurds even as it risks alienating Turkey’s Kurdish population—a key ally in the fight against ISIS and other extremist groups, making you wonder who Turkey hate more. Well Syria’s new government are all ex Al Nusra Front, ex Al Qaeda and Ex Islamic State so we’ve probably answered that question to a degree, though the Kurds do guard the camps and prisons housing thousands of Islamic State prisoners who risk being freed in the north as both sidfes take lumps out of each other.
This internal instability though, combined with Turkey playing both sides to an extent, makes Turkey vulnerable both with its internal politics and how it is seen internationally, and Israel will seize any opportunity to push their agenda and at any cost – they’ve got the orange idiot in the White House backing them, so, so what if the Middle East is already a powder keg waiting to go off, they’ll keep lighting fuses as long as they get shielded from any fallout politically by Western leaders and mainstream media giving it a pass. Any move by Israel to target Turkey though could ignite a conflict with far-reaching consequences.
So, what does all of this mean for the future of the Middle East? Well, we’re back to that Greater Israel plan again aren’t we? Here’s that image of the Greater Israel plan again and southern Turkey is very much part of that plan and it becomes ever more clear that Israel’s Greater Israel project is not just a theoretical concept, it’s a driving force behind its foreign policy. Saar’s words are setting that up and as Israel sets its sights on Turkey, the risk of an ever greater, broader regional conflict grows and potentially beyond.
As much as it’s very easy to point to all these nations with a growing beef with each other for all of these myriad different reasons though, most of all it’s about the lives of millions of people who are going to be caught in the crossfire. It’s about holding leaders like Gideon Saar accountable for their actions and I don’t think the Hind Rajab Foundation are wrong in what they demanded of their nations leaders on that score either. What diplomatic ties do you want with someone as plain nasty as that and the nation he represents? So it’s about demanding a more just and equitable approach to diplomacy.
Meanwhile, we have evidence we can point to that being all cosy with Israel can very much be bad for your health both politically and militarily and nobody is learning a bigger lesson in that right now, than their skivvies in the Palestinian Authority and it can hardly be said they don’t deserve it.
