A striking claim has been made regarding the tension between Türkiye and Israel over Syria.
“ISRAEL COMPLAINED ABOUT TÜRKİYE TO THE US”
UAE-based Al Arabiya channel, in its news report citing sources in Washington, claimed that Israel filed a complaint with the US administration against Türkiye's activities in Syria.
The report alleged that Israel had informed both Washington and Ankara, directly and through the US, months ago that it opposed Türkiye's presence on Syrian territory.
According to the claims reported by Al Arabiya, it was asserted that the Tel Aviv administration claimed Türkiye was attempting to make a military deployment at Abu Zuhur Air Base and was closely monitoring the activities of the Turkish army in the region.
According to the claim, Israel complained to the US administration by transmitting to Washington photographs, information, and documents said to relate to the deployment of Turkish soldiers in the region.
“ISRAEL IS CONCERNED ABOUT TÜRKİYE'S ROLE IN SYRIA”
The report stated that Tel Aviv's concern was not limited to the claim about the presence of Turkish soldiers in Syria.
According to the claim based on diplomatic sources in Washington, Türkiye is trying to assume a more active role in Syria, with the support of the US Ambassador to Ankara and Special Envoy for Syria and Iraq, Tom Barrack.
It was further claimed that Israel warned both the US and the Damascus administration, arguing that Türkiye's influence in Syria could shape developments regarding the country's future.
On the other hand, it was claimed that the Tel Aviv administration was also uncomfortable with Tom Barrack's Syria policy. It was noted that Washington was trying to project a neutral image between the two countries during the process in which tension between Türkiye and Israel escalated.
