That’s exactly what I’m expecting as well. Israel is doing a land grab cause Syria is destabilized. What will be interesting to see is how Turkey responds. Have they made a deal behind the scenes to carve up Syria or is Israel encroaching on what Turkey planned to control right now. If latter is the case then we might actually see a proxy war between Turkey and Israel in Syria in the near future.
I think its inevitably going to evolve into a proxy war between turkey and israel, since both projects claim the region as part of their respective neottomanist/greater israel project, we’ll see how it unfolds Turkey is in a weird spot.
It very well be all posturing by Turkey to just satisfy its nationalist base.
Yeah, definitely going to be interesting to watch. It’s worth noting that Syria itself is very factionalized as well right now, so there could just be a massive civil war where HTS gets overthrown. The impression I’m getting is that regime change in Syria is backfiring massively for the west. Russia was able to basically walk away, but now the place is incredibly volatile, and if Israel ends up getting mired there then the US will be forced to pour in resources to prop Israel up.
Not sure if it’s backfiring for them, US/israel benefit from the turmoil. Their resources are up for grabs pretty much, which i imagine they already took.

I think a civil war in Syria could complicate things for US and Israel in the long run, especially given how thinly the US is stretched already.
