The recent outbreak of military rebellion in northern Syria exhibits distinct characteristics that diverge significantly from earlier conflicts. The militants associated with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) demonstrate a high degree of organization and advanced strategic planning.

Crucially, the conspicuous involvement of Ankara has emerged as a pivotal catalyst in the escalation of this new crisis within the war-torn landscape of Syria.

Despite President Erdoğan’s prior assertions of his desire to cooperate with Hezbollah in the struggle against Israel, his recent steps in Syria appear to align more closely with Israeli agendas.

The recent activities of the Syrian armed opposition have prompted numerous analysts to argue that the insurgents are now operating with the full support of the Turkish intelligence agency.

A report by the Russian newspaper Izvestia further posits that the insurgents' offensive is a joint product of collaboration between Turkey, Ukraine, and the French intelligence services.

The emergence of new regional crises suggests Israel's reluctance to seek a swift resolution to the Al-Aqsa Storm campaign is rooted in a strategic belief that Israel's existential survival is contingent upon continuing turmoil and instability across the Middle East.

A ceasefire merely provides the exhausted Israeli military with a temporary respite, while the resurgence of hostilities in Syria presents significant challenges to Hezbollah's logistical supply lines.

Moreover, Turkey has consistently demonstrated its commitment to its bilateral understanding with Israel through the regular export of goods and energy. This pattern suggests that Erdoğan’s anti-Israeli rhetoric is merely theatrical, rather than a reflection of genuine political belief.

From a geopolitical perspective, an expansionist Zionist agenda is gradually unfolding, with Turkey playing a pivotal role against the Axis of Resistance.
