Is Turkey Building a Neo-Ottoman Empire on Israel's Doorstep?

In this gripping episode of East to West, host Sarah Martinez Amir is joined by two leading experts on Middle Eastern geopolitics: Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak from the Moshe Dayan Center and Oded Ailam, former head of the Counterterrorism Division in the Mossad and a researcher at the JCFA. Together, they explore Turkey's ambitious expansion into Syria following the Assad regime's fall and what this means for regional stability.

The conversation reveals President Erdogan's "neo-Ottoman" aspirations, Turkey's alarming military buildup including sophisticated submarines and aircraft carriers, and its strategy of using Sunni Islam to penetrate Syria. Our experts warn of Turkey's efforts to build a proxy army on Israel's doorstep and debate how Israel should respond to this emerging threat. Tune in for an eye-opening analysis of the shifting power dynamics in the Middle East and the potential for dangerous escalation between regional powers.
