JPOST: Israel must prepare for potential war with Turkey

> “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 committee’s assessment comes amid Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's increasingly assertive policies in the region, which some analysts view as antagonistic to Israel's interests.

> The committee proposes increasing the defense budget by up to NIS 15 billion annually over the next five years to ensure the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are equipped to handle challenges posed by Turkey, alongside other regional threats.

Netanyahu addressed the report, stating, “We are witnessing fundamental changes in the Middle East. Iran has long been our greatest threat, but new forces are entering the arena, and we must be prepared for the unexpected. This report provides us with a roadmap to secure Israel’s future.”

Meanwhile, Turiye Today reports that Israel should prepare for war with Türkiye, and issues a warning to the "Zionist government committee"[1]. Given recent tensions in Sinai, with Israeli Defense Minister accusing his Egyptian counterparts of violating the Suez accords[2], what are the geopolitical implications of a post-Assad middle east potentially being more hostile, rather than less hostile, to Israeli interests in the region?
