Erdogan

In the end, what did not happen during the Netanyahu-Trump meeting might prove to be as significant as any agreements or public statements that were made. 

Syrian President Sharaa attended the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, meeting with Erdogan and other leaders. He strengthened ties with Azerbaijan, Qatar, and the Kurdistan Region for regional cooperation.

BEHIND THE LINES: With Turkey's backing of Hamas and disputes in Syria, the future of Jerusalem-Ankara ties look dim.

Erdogan accused Israel of fueling divisions in Syria and committing "genocide" in Gaza at the Antalya Forum, which also saw Syria’s first official participation.

Netanyahu missed the historic opportunity to launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and topple the regime during the transition from Biden to Trump.

Israel may have initially underestimated Hamas, but Ankara sees that Israel is not underestimating Turkey.

The forces opposing Erdogan are assembling, but they must act and confront Turkey decisively, with a clear strategy and the will to follow through, before Turkey’s ambitions become irreversible.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's call for Allah to "bring destruction upon Zionist Israel," underscores that a direct military clash is inevitable.

University students with no history of activism are now at the forefront of demonstrations against Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule.

Erdogan spoke at Istanbul's Grand Camlica Mosque where he asked Allah to ensure that Zionism and Israel are destroyed, while wishing "mercy upon the (Hamas) martyrs"
