The Israeli press stated that the Tel Aviv administration is disturbed by Turkey's rise, claiming that \"Turkey has built a Blue Homeland Empire from Greece to Yemen.\"
“AN UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE FOR ISRAEL”
An analysis broadcast on Israel's Channel 13 television noted that \"Turkey's dominant rise, as it intensifies its activities in the region's power centers, poses an unprecedented challenge for Israel.\"
The analysis claimed that Turkey \"has intensified its activities in the region's power centers and is filling the geopolitical vacuum with giant steps.\"
\"TURKEY IS NO LONGER JUST DRAWING MAPS\"
In the analysis, which argued that Turkey's \"Blue Homeland\" doctrine would allow it to control key maritime transit points between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean and achieve energy independence by accessing gas and oil reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean, it stated, \"Turkey is no longer just drawing maps. It is implementing them through power and aggressive diplomacy.\"
The analysis emphasized that \"Turkey has control in Syria and Libya,\" enabling it to form a \"maritime bridge\" from the Mediterranean to Europe, and noted that \"in Somalia, it has influence over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and has established a base with satellite launch capabilities there.\"
\"TURKEY IS IRREPLACEABLE\"
The Israeli-based outlet pointed out that Turkey is an indispensable ally for the US and Europe, stating, \"Thanks to its unique geographical location, Turkey has irreplaceable strategic importance as a cornerstone for NATO and the US.\"
It was argued that serving as a bridge between three continents, controlling critical passages like the Straits, acting as a buffer zone with the Middle East, and conducting military cooperation with the US elevate Turkey to a vital position.
\"ISRAEL IS TRYING TO STOP TURKEY\"
The analysis stated that Israel is attempting to stop Turkey through its attacks on Syria, its alliance with Greece and the Greek Cypriot Administration (GCA), and steps such as recognizing Somaliland as a country.
Using the phrase \"Turkey's rise as a dominant power constitutes a complex and unprecedented challenge for Israel,\" the Israeli outlet noted that Ankara, unlike Tehran, is a NATO member and an ally of the US.
It also recorded that this situation causes Turkey to restrict the movement capabilities of the Israeli army in Gaza and Syria, directly threatening Israel's interests.
