Israel warns Turkey that if Turkey dares to build naval and air force bases within Syria, it will be considered an invasion of Israel, and the Israeli Air Force will strike without hesitation! In fact, Turkey has been planning to establish military bases in Syria for a long time. From February 2025, Joulani and Erdogan were preparing to choose a location to build a military base, but this was strongly prevented by Israel. Israel directly demanded Turkey to return to its own sphere of influence and not to expand in Syria.
Syria is not Israel's sphere of influence, but it also cannot be Turkey's sphere of influence. This must be clearly stated beforehand. Israel and Turkey are not land neighbors, but Iran and Israel are also not land neighbors, yet war still broke out.
Moreover, Israel's navy can directly sail to the Turkish offshore area for attacks. In fact, it is much easier for Israel to attack Turkey than to attack Iran. Therefore, although Turkey is very domineering in the Middle East, it is also hesitant to act recklessly in the face of Israel's threat.
The attempt of Turkey to establish a military base in Syria has not been completely terminated. In short, Turkey knows its own capabilities. Once Turkey and Israel clash, the United States will definitely stand behind Israel, attacking Turkey's vulnerable areas.
Although Turkey is a NATO member, Israel is the supreme authority among NATO members. There is always a hierarchy, with Israel being far superior to Turkey in terms of strength and level, which is inevitable. The inability of Iran to manage itself has made Turkey extremely frightened, fearing that it might be next. Therefore, Turkey has no choice but to refrain from building military bases in Syria, and there is no room for negotiation.
