But recent events have raised the possibility of a conflict between them. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been engaged in operations against Hamas in Gaza. The IDF killed several Hamas terrorists, including one involved in the October 7 attacks. The IDF also targeted a terrorist hiding in a hospital.

Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon, fighting Hezbollah in the hills presents a strategic challenge. The IDF has been conducting operations in the region, which has drawn the attention of Turkey. Turkey has been increasingly assertive in the region, viewing Israel as a rival. This shift in dynamics has been noted by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has cast Turkey as Israel’s latest enemy as elections near.

The situation is complex, with Turkey potentially harassing Israel at sea after being denied a foothold in Syria. The U.S. may face a significant crisis in the Middle East as tensions between two of its key allies escalate.
