Turkey's foreign minister is issuing a warning: after Iran, Israel may put Turkey in its sights. Netanyahu has a complex about Erdogan and cannot survive politically without enemies, declared Fidan, one day after Erdogan authorised military action against Israel.

Fidan explains that Turkey's balanced regional position is the real target of Israeli pressure. Netanyahu has a complex about Erdogan and cannot tolerate him. Turkish efforts to maintain peace in the region keep it at a level where Israel cannot destabilise Turkey, the minister said.

Extreme politicians on a collision course

When you look down through Syria, Gaza and Lebanon, the extreme Israeli policies are directly opposed to ours. That's why they don't target us, Fidan explains. The warning is concrete: after Iran, Israel cannot survive without an enemy. We see that Netanyahu can designate Turkey as the next adversary.

Erdogan had previously accused Israel of crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, citing 1.2 million displaced people. If Turkey — a NATO member with the alliance's second-largest army — truly enters direct confrontation with Israel, the consequences for the entire region, including the Balkans, would be unpredictable.
