Jerusalem Studio | Israel-Turkey Friction : Is There Room for Miscalculation? | Heaven TV7

For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

Israel-Turkey Friction : Is There Room for Miscalculation?

During the 1990’s and very early 2000’s, Turkey was Israel’s closest non-Arabic strategic partner in the Middle East, but with the rise of Erdogan to power in Ankara, the Turkish-Israeli relationship has now deteriorated to the point of open hostility.

Since Erdogan has been exerting his influence over the new Damascus regime, armed clashes between Turkey and Israel over developments in Syria are now not unthinkable. Could we really be on a path towards combat between the IDF and the Turkish armed forces? Joining us for the analysis:
- Host : Col. (Res.) Reuven Ben Shalom : Cross-Cultural Strategist
- Analyst : Amir Oren : TV7 Editor at Large and Host of Powers in Play
- Prof. Russell Berman : Former Senior Advisor in the US State Dept; Director of the Middle East Project, Hoover Institute
- Col. (Ret.) Dr. Eran Lerman : JISS VP and lecturer at Shalem College
