An opinion piece by Lt. Col. Amit Yagur, former deputy head of the Palestinian arena in the IDF Planning Directorate, analyzes the conduct of US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack. The author argues that Barrack almost fully adopts the Turkish narrative, criticizing the IDF strike in Syria and claiming it stemmed from internal political considerations in Israel. The article points out contradictions: Barrack refrains from criticizing the Turkish presence in northern Syria and Idlib, the occupation in northern Cyprus, the suppression of the opposition in Turkey, Turkey-Russia ties, and the hosting of Hamas headquarters. The author notes Barrack's business background and his connections in the Middle East, and suggests Israel adopt a strategy of direct diplomatic challenge by asking pointed questions.
