Nothing in reality indicates that the claim is true regarding either nation.** > The report highlights the risk of Syrian factions aligning with Turkey, creating a new and potent threat to Israel’s security. > The committee’s assessment comes amid Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s **increasingly assertive policies in the region, which some analysts view as antagonistic to Israel’s interests**. **This is a clear reference to project Israel 2.0 aka Greater Kurdistan. The vast majority of Syria’s proxies, including PKK and ISIS, are aligned with Israel and the US.** **Not Turkey.**
