According to a report by Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth, which cited the Israeli foreign ministry on Sunday, Turkiye blocked Israel from taking part in an annual NATO military exercise focused on resilience, combat readiness and emergency preparedness.

Ankara reportedly did so by using its veto power – as a key member state in the military alliance – to attempt to exclude Tel Aviv, ensuring NATO does not unanimously accept Israeli participation in its exercises.

The mutual enemy is gone and now turkish backed HTS is in power, things change. "Greater Israel" includes Syria, just like it is included in the Neottomanist project.

yea its messy but turkiye is the main backer, we've seen jolani drive erdogan as a chaffeur before. SDF were the main US proxies in the region, which definitely collaborated with HTS as we saw how they are in talks to merge. we'll see how it unfolds, jihadists are not going to stay put.
