Turkish President Erdogan: The genocidal, occupying, expansionist ideology called Zionism threatens not only me, not only our party, not only our alliance—it threatens everyone. When we struggle against Zionism, we are not waging this struggle for ourselves or for personal reasons. We are doing it for our own survival and for the survival of our nation.

Former Mossad Official: “Turkey Is Becoming the New Center of Gravity for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood” Oded Ailam, former head of the Counter-Terrorism Division at the Mossad and a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, warns that Turkey is gradually becoming the primary regional hub for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Ailam, • Israel should not be deterred from conducting covert operations on Turkish soil. “They cannot be allowed to feel untouchable or enjoy immunity there,” he said. The only consideration should be operational, as Ankara is increasingly positioning itself openly as a leading force within the region’s Islamist camp. • Looking at the broader Middle East: Gulf states are moving even closer to Israel in response to the growing influence of Iran and Turkey, while Saudi Arabia is drifting away from the Abraham Accords and toward an axis led by Turkey and Qatar. • He warned about Qatar’s expanding influence within the Trump administration. “The Qatari connection is growing stronger, and ultimately Israel is the one paying the price.” • Economic and business interests linked to individuals close to the American president are playing an increasingly significant role in shaping Washington’s regional policy.
