Will the next war in the Middle East be between Israel and Turkey?

Question

Zack-Bann · Accepted Answer

I doubt it.

There’s not enough reason for a war like that

The different warring elements in the middle east have always had a shared goal

When Iran fell to the islamic revolution their idea was to have a middle east that is 100% Muslim
Meaning no Christians, no Jews.
The Al Assad regime wanted to unify the levant under the Syrian flag under the guise of a greater Islamic state
The various Iran proxy factions wanted the same thing: Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi’s

And on the other side you have Israel who wanted its own country to be recognized
But they always chose senseless violence against the same people they wanted to accept them

Turkey has never truly been part of that fight, not since the Ottoman days
If anything they fought against the Al Assad regime some years back

It would be a truly random act if they decided to cross into Syria and Lebanon or go by sea to fight Israel.
Why? What’s the end goal?
To whose benefit?

Syria fell, Iran is falling, the proxies are destroyed
The fact of the matter is: the dream of a greater Islamic state in the middle east is dead

War is not certain. In fact, if there is no counterattack from Israel, I can guarantee that a war will not happen. However, Israel as a state does not stay calm in the Middle East. It tends to declare other countries as enemies for unrealistic reasons, almost like paranoia, based on three main arguments:

1. Claiming that a country is producing nuclear weapons.

In reality, Israel is the only country in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons. Yet it argues that no one except itself should have such weapons and uses this claim as a justification to violate the sovereignty of other nations.

2. Not wanting militarily strong states in the region.

3. Opposing governments whose leaders do not think like the leaders Israel prefers.

Because of these three reasons, Israel tries to weaken or destroy many countries and has a habit of attacking states it perceives as threats while ignoring international law.

There is also a religious and ideological dimension to this belief. In the Torah it is written:

“To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.”

Genesis 15

Unlikely, Turkey is in NATO and has ok relationships with the west. Things haven't been great with the new government and Turkey has been pushing some lines, but nothing that demands western involvement. The US has wanted regime change in Iran for decades, that's not the same for Turkey. I think Turkey is a country we should be watching, but I don't suspect will see any active wars anytime soon.

If Iran breaks and collapses in next two months, geopolitical podcast I watch came to the conclusion Turkey is the next on the plate.
If Iran can keep pressure on gulf states and still will be capable to block Hormuz strait when financial pressure of high oil prices increases, US will abandon Israel partially for the sake of peace.

madhatters4 · Answer

i don't think so. any reason why you present these two as country's that may battle each other?

Master_Debator · Answer

Turkey isn't on anyone's shit list that I know of.

Well, maybe Iranian Ayatollah hated them since they just recently lauched an attack on Turkey, but look at Iran right now.

One of my shotguns was made in Turkey and it's my best shotgun, so I'm cool with Turkey.

Berethor · Answer

Turkey is Very Antisemitic so I don't really mind that happening, but Turkey is NATO no?

Agape93 · Answer

Nah i doubt it. Turkey couldn't win it anyways their last actual war was a century ago, and ever since then it's been "pacifying" Kurdish and Armenian "militants" in ongoing attempts at ethnic cleansing. Besides, Israel has nukes. Turkey only holds onto other people's nukes

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Israel won't stop until they have everything they want and they'll kill anyone in their way while getting us to pay and participate for it. It's sickening. No more senseless wars my ass. What a liar. I would really like some folks that voted for him to actually come out and admit that this guy is a liar and a loose cannon.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Next war? The Middle East has been one long continuous war. Players pop in and out, but it never stops. Turkey has not been one of the players though. Their time came and went a hundred years ago.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Absolutely not, there is no realistic path leading to that. There might be a war between Greece and Turkey (over natural resources), but even that possibility is below one percent.

ohsheeT · Answer

In there own ways they are both evil government s   The government s should battle it out if that's what needs to be done. But the innocent people should be left alone.

RavVid · Answer

Can't see a high likelihood. Syria might cause issues between them and Gaza has. I couldn't see it getting further than invective with Nato and the US likely to hose down any conflict.

abc3643 · Answer

Of course not. There's no reason for one and the US and NATO would certainly get involved in preventing one.

Sal_Monella · Answer

1. Turkey is not in the middle east.

2. Israel is a loyal and close Ally with the United States. If Turkey I text Israel, they would have to face the United States and they would be neutered just like Iran.

Lliam · Answer

Israel won't be able to go to war against anyone once Iran gets through with it.

Julie, I don't know, and I am so exhausted by my current situation as a U. S. citizen that I don't care anymore. I am ashamed of the fact that I live in a country that elected a criminal as its president.

Daytoday79 · Answer

Last I heard Iran fired a missle at Turkey that was intercepted by NATO. So if anything, between Iran and Turkey. Or Iran an Kuwait, or Iran and the UAE, or Iran and Qatar, or Iran and Bareihn, or Iran and Azerbaijan. Or, all of them at once!

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I don't think so. They're on good terms and I don't think Erdogan as NATO member would be that stupid. Why would Israel and Turkey go to war?

Staximus · Answer

I don't think so. The US has a huge air force base and missile battery in Turkey. Like enough missiles to literally wipe Israel off the map

888theGreat · Answer

Turkey would need to leave NATO first. It could happen sooner than later. Turkey doesn't like the attacks on Iran.

Ironco · Answer

Don't over complicate and overthink things... nothing is going to happen or change much...

Anonymous · Answer

It will most likely be between the USA and Israel, both nations wrongfully attacking some other innocent nation, at Israel's insistence. We MUST break free of Israel
