Marmara University faculty member Dr. Alihan Limoncuoğlu and Istanbul Gelişim University faculty member Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Fuat Tuncer commented on President Erdogan's statement regarding Israel, saying "Just as we entered Karabakh and Libya, we can do the same to them. There is nothing stopping us from doing so." They evaluated the possibility of a war and concluded that it is not likely to happen.

"TURKEY'S PARTICIPATION IN A POSSIBLE WAR IS NOT POSSIBLE"
Answering the question of whether Turkey would participate in a possible war or intervene in Israel, Istanbul Gelişim University Lecturer Assoc. Dr. Fatih Fuat Tuncer said, "It is not possible for Turkey to participate in a possible war, Turkey is already in the region, otherwise this war would have already spread. Turkey is the biggest guarantee of security in the region. Israel does not want Turkey to disappear from the region because it is a country that struggles for peace and stability with all its neighbors. Since October 7th, Turkey's warning has been 'If there is no ceasefire soon, it will spread to the region.' We have seen that Turkey has been thanked by both Iran and the US for facilitating the Iran-Israel operation and preventing the war from escalating further."
"ISRAEL NEEDS TURKEY MORE THAN TURKEY NEEDS ISRAEL"
Marmara University Lecturer Dr. Alihan Limoncuoğlu also said, "I agree. In the end, Israel needs Turkey more than Turkey needs Israel. Just like how many people talked about and resolved the issue with Armenia, this will also be resolved, but Armenia is a country that receives more support, so it will take longer."
