Gloves of Wisdom
Ben-Dror Yemini analyzes the Turkish threat to Israel under Erdogan, warning against ignoring the Islamist ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. He argues that Turkey, with the world's strongest army, poses an ideological and military danger, and that one must act with gloves of wisdom rather than silk or iron gloves. Yemini links the deterioration of relations with Europe to the increase in Turkish appetite, and calls for the establishment of a responsible government in Israel.
In his article, Ben-Dror Yemini analyzes the Turkish threat to Israel under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He notes that Turkey ranks ninth in the world on the Global Firepower index, while Israel ranks 15th and Iran 16th. Yemini argues that one must act with gloves of wisdom, not silk gloves, which are perceived as weakness, or iron gloves. He mentions Israel's attack in Syria, which he says was a correct action against Turkey's plans to expand its control in Syria. Yemini warns against ignoring the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, to which both Hamas and Turkey belong. He quotes Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who said that Israel is 'a burden that humanity can no longer bear,' and compares this statement to Nazi propaganda. Yemini notes that Turkey has 133 bases outside its territory and operates in Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Lebanon. He warns that the deterioration of relations with Europe will increase Turkish appetite and calls for the establishment of a responsible government in Israel.
