#JP: Israel authorities are advised to prepare for potential war with Turkey

Israel must prepare for a direct confrontation with Turkey, according to the Nagel Committee's latest report on the Israeli defense budget and security strategy, reports The Jerusalem Post.

The committee, established by the Israeli government, warns that Turkey’s ambitions to restore its Ottoman-era influence could lead to heightened tensions with Israel, possibly escalating into conflict.

The report highlights the risk of Syrian factions aligning with Turkey, creating a new and potent threat to Israel’s security.

“The threat from Syria could evolve into something even more dangerous than the Iranian threat,” the report states, warning that Turkish-backed forces might act as proxies, fueling regional instability.

The Nagel Committee submitted its recommendations to Israeli authorities, outlining a comprehensive strategy to address emerging threats.
