Part 6/7:
In the midst of rising tensions, both Turkey and Israel seem to be seeking ways to prevent a major conflict from igniting. Recent reports surfaced regarding secret conversations held in Azerbaijan aimed at establishing mechanisms for deconfliction; yet, Turkish officials assert these discussions are merely technical and lack implications for broader diplomatic relations.
Despite this budding communication, concerns linger over the broader regional implications of a conflict between the two powers. A confrontation—even if limited to proxies—could resonate throughout the already chaotic landscape of Syrian geopolitical strife, potentially reigniting a civil war and drawing in regional actors.
