Honestly, this is the best reason for Turkey to do this. Trigger NATO infighting. Couple that with the new petition to trigger Article 6 and kick the USA out of the UN, we could see some real decades happen this quarter.

Let me guess, the USA can veto the petition to kick the USA out of the UN or something to that effect?

Almost certainly Erdogan bluffing again. But Israel is overreacting again so inshallah-script

I mean we all know how it works in practice but isn't Israel... not a NATO member? Theoretically there shouldn't be a problem with Turkey invading Israel.

The Biden administration repeats any israeli talking point, so we can expect Matt Miller to start getting real angry about someone threatening their precious "only democracy in the middle east as long as we ignore Turkey".
