Turkey's growing involvement in Syria has raised concerns in Israel, as Ankara seeks to establish itself in the region following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Despite Israel's concerns, it appears to have few options to counter Turkey's influence. Turkey's interest in Syria is driven by its desire to block terrorism and Kurdish separatism, as well as to benefit economically and address the refugee crisis. Syria, on the other hand, seeks external support to rebuild its economy and maintain military control. The growing partnership between Turkey and Syria is a complex balancing act, particularly due to Turkey's opposition to Kurdish autonomy and fears of a resurgence of political Islam.
