A CNN report published today links Prime Minister Netanyahu's focus on Turkey as a major threat to his election campaign. The report cites a billboard in Tel Aviv depicting Erdogan alongside the leaders of Iran, Hezbollah, and the mayor of New York as enemies of Israel. The report mentions the strike on the Abu Duhur airfield in Syria, which was intended to prevent Turkish entrenchment. In an interview with Channel 9, Netanyahu explains that he conveyed messages to Turkey and Syria against breaking the status quo, and when the message was not received, Israel took kinetic action. A senior Israeli official defines the al-Sharaa regime as a medium- and long-term enemy and warns against its attempts to establish an international standing. The official adds that Israel is acting to prevent the entrenchment of forces in southern Syria and to maintain the freedom of action of the Air Force.
