Israeli Prime Minister's Alleged Preference
Israeli media reports Netanyahu's stance on Turkey in Syria, favoring Russia over Turkey for various reasons.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu sent his military secretary to Moscow to discuss Russia's military presence in Syria, aiming to strengthen relations with Russia. The report highlights Israel's desire for a 'weak' Syria and its preference for Russia over Turkey, labeling Turkey as a dominant force in the region.
Israel is reportedly taking steps to prevent Turkish military bases in Syria, train the Syrian army, and protect the country's airspace, signaling a clear alignment with Russia over Turkey.
Reuters previously reported on Israel's lobbying efforts within the US administration to ensure the presence of Russian bases in Syria instead of Turkish ones.
