Analysis in Turkey: The U.S. and Israel Are Operating in Syria While Turkey Is Being Pushed to the Margins

Turkish journalist Arslan Bulut argues that recent developments in Syria illustrate a clear axis of cooperation between the United States and Israel, while Turkey finds itself increasingly constrained on the ground.

According to Bulut, Washington continues to operate in Syria through local forces, including the SDF, which is affiliated with the PKK, and uses them as a direct lever of pressure on Ankara.

Bulut notes that despite past public confrontations between Erdoğan and Israel, security relations have been maintained behind the scenes. Even today, he claims, Turkey effectively aligns its actions with the American-Israeli framework—in Libya, in Egypt, and especially in Syria.

He further argues that while U.S. forces operate freely in northern Syria, the Turkish army is restricted in its ability to move southward, which in his view indicates an erosion of Ankara’s regional standing.  (Turkey Today) Turkey is still one to watch in the Middle East, Erdogan still believes he could be the last Mahadi (world Islamic leader), at least he has a vision of that.  They still want in on the Gaza peace force.  Israel says no.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump will discuss another strike on Iran – against the backdrop of growing concern in Israel about the pace of recovery at the nuclear sites and the Iranian missiles that were damaged in the 12-day war.  (NBC). Just as suspected, the Israeli/American military was not finished in Iran.  Force and complete defeat is all the tribes there understand.  Iran may be harmed, but a desperate animal can do lots of damage.  Will have to be dealt with soon.  Rh

DNI Tulsi Gabbard says the greatest threat to freedom is Islam: 

“The greatest near and long term threat to our freedom is the threat of Islamist ideology.”  Pleasantly surprised she may be the best of all Trump’s cabinet picks, no flowery political speech from her. Rh

This is huge news on The Third Temple in Israel.

Israel Today is reporting that “Israelis of priestly descent practice their biblical duties at a scale model of the Temple altar, at a facility near Maaleh Adumim on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem.”  Big news on the prophetic front here.  We know in the middle of the Tribulation the anti-christ sets himself up as God in the 3rd temple in Jerusalem.  That will cause a new turn toward Jehovah God for the Jews.  Some will flee to a place in the wilderness where God will protect them in safety.  Probably Petra. (Revelation 12:6,14).  Things are moving fast as we speak.  Acceleration?  God’s timing?  Look up our redemption draws near. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).  Rh

Vice President Vance in an interview:

“99% of Republicans – and, I believe, probably 97% of Democrats – do not hate Jews because they are Jews. What is actually taking place is a genuine backlash against the long-standing consensus in American foreign policy. We need to have this conversation rather than attempt to silence it. Most Americans are not antisemitic, will never be antisemitic, and we should focus on the real debate. 

“May I say your are wrong Mr. Vice President, your “idea” and premise is wrong.  If that were so, the antisemitism attacks here in America and the degenerate podcasters  who push Israel blood libels etc would not have such a huge following.  Sir your friend Tucker Carlson has had holocaust deniers and himself has spoken evil and hatred toward the Jews just because of who they are.  Christian Conservatives hear you, and will remember come 2028.  Our foreign policy is NOt the issue, it is those who hate the Jews.”  Rh

When disinformation and conspiracy theories spread unchecked, the poison is already in the system – and doubt inevitably follows.

Israel can – and will – survive without America.

Those are not my words; they are God’s Word. Read Ezekiel 38.

The real question is not whether Israel can survive without America, but whether any nation can survive without standing with Israel.

Read Zechariah 14 again – especially its latter portion – and then draw your conclusion.

Israel was, is, and never will be a perfect nation.

Yet the God of Israel has never sought anyone’s approval for why He continues to use them in such a powerful way. He works in mysterious ways so that He alone receives the glory.

Consider how Romans 11 concludes:

“Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.” AMIR TSARFATI
