While the invading Israeli regime President Yitzak Herzog is expected to visit Turkey on March 9-10, remarkable information on the subject continues to be conveyed in the international media.
In the news published in Al-Monitor with the signature of Ben Caspit, the issue that the Israeli regime is most sensitive in terms of relations with Turkey is the existence of the HAMAS office in Turkey.
Citing the views of a senior Israeli security source on this issue, Caspit said, "I don't think they will close this office. But they can help us by reducing, restricting and monitoring their activities. With things moving at this pace, I see this as a perfectly reasonable possibility."
“TURKS CAN TURN AGAINST US AT ANYTIME”
Speaking to Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, a high-ranking diplomatic source in Jerusalem said Herzog would be "received as a king" in Turkey.
High-level diplomatic source, who made remarkable remarks about Herzog's visit to Turkey, "The Turks may turn against us once again, but things look serious right now," the source said.
According to the same source, Turkey has been sensitive to all Israel's demands in recent months. This includes security-related issues.
"This is considered unprecedented. Even when they can't do anything, they take care of the issue and return to us with a detailed answer," the source added.
“ISRAEL NEEDS TURKEY AGAINST IRAN”
Another high-level diplomatic source in Jerusalem summarized the factors that triggered the normalization between Turkey and the Israeli regime as “conditions and interests”.
The source continued as follows:
"It may sound strange, but Israel and Turkey have common interests in important strategic issues. Erdogan sees Iran as a threat to almost the same extent as we do. He sees Iran's presence in Syria as a threat, just as we do. Moreover, he realizes that he has fallen out of favor in Washington."
According to Al-Monitor, a senior Israeli analyst, who asked not to be identified, said, "Turkey is a very important player in the Middle East, one of the three non-Arab regional powers along with Iran and Israel. If Israel wants to narrow the circle around Iran, it needs the Turks. Diplomatic, economic and military pressure on Iran cannot succeed without Turkey."
Noting that the Israeli administration has grasped this reality, the source said, "A skilled diplomat named Herzog will try to get the job done."
