Israel’s Warning to Turkey Raises ALARM

The Young Turks5:08

Transcription

A new Turkish threat is emerging. I want to be very clear. Turkey and Qatar have gained influence in Syria, are seeking influence elsewhere and everywhere throughout the region, and from here I warn Turkey is the new Iran.

Israeli politician Naftali Bennett, you know, the guy who's supposed to be the opposition to Netanyahu, uh well, he was kind enough to let his pay pigs here in the United States know which war Israel's going to drag us into next. Because the propaganda against Turkey has begun. So pretty soon I'm sure we're going to be hearing about how Turkey is, you know, building dangerous weapons of mass destruction and we must go in and attack them immediately.

This is a disaster, but uh it didn't just stop with Naftali Bennett. I'm going to get into all the various claims that are being made by various Israeli individuals, including some who work as operatives here in the United States, uh meant to kick Turkey out of NATO, which would then justify the US attacking them because they're no longer a NATO ally. That's the whole point here. So things have definitely escalated.

Uh Turkish President Erdogan called out Israel's uh desperate attempts to torpedo the very fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States. It's supposed to last until the 22nd, April 22nd. And while Trump's administration says that they're not seeking an extension of this 2-week ceasefire, Erdogan says that Turkey will be pushing for the truce to last longer to ensure that peace negotiations can continue. So that Look, I am not a fan of the Turkish government, uh but you're telling me that the guy who wants the ceasefire to last longer so peace negotiations can continue is the real threat? Okay.

So uh Erdogan says the following, and he hasn't been holding back lately. The real question is, is he just paying lip service to the people of Turkey who are furious over Israel's shenanigans lately, or does he actually mean it? Because here's what he says. If there is to be peace in our region, it will be despite the Zionist regime. If stability is achieved, it will be it will again be despite the Israeli government. And I actually agree with him on that.

But let's actually back up a little bit to understand how Israel um began to sour on Turkey in the first place. So after the October 2023 attacks on Israel and how they responded to those attacks, basically Turkey suspended all trade with Israel and they even closed their airspace to Israel. So already we see a a relationship that's kind of falling apart, if there was even much of a relationship to begin with. Now, they were peaceful with one another, but you know, Turkey sees what's going on and they decide, "No, we don't agree with this. We're going to close our airspace and we're going to ban trade with Israel." And as one can imagine, Netanyahu wasn't so happy about it, okay?

So here's a post from Netanyahu just a few days ago, April 11th, 2026. Israel under my leadership will continue to fight Iran's terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan, who accommodates them and massacred his own Kurdish citizens. And that's when things got even spicier, okay? So Turkey's foreign ministry described Benjamin Netanyahu as the Hitler of our time. True, true. Responding to a post on X by Israel's prime minister accusing Erdogan of cooperating with Iran and massacring the Kurdish people.

Now, from my understanding, the Turkish government has not been particularly kind to the Kurds. I'll give you an a specific example. So in Syria, during Trump's first term, he had a phone call with Erdogan. Erdogan wanted to pull US troops out of a region of Syria where the Kurds were fighting alongside the US, you know, in in an effort to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. Uh for whatever reason, Trump listened. And the Kurds were slaughtered. The Turks came in and they slaughtered the Kurds. They That did happen. Now, the Kurds have carried out acts of violence against the Turks as well, so I don't want to simplify this complicated issue, uh but I want to be fair and honest, and so when it comes to the Turks and the relationship that they have with the Kurds, it hasn't been all friendly, it hasn't been hunky-dory, and what we're hearing from the Israelis here isn't a complete lie.

Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
