Rabbi Pesach Wolecki

They're not an Arab nation.

that is in the kind of Abraham Accords, reconciliation, economic cooperation model with Israel.

They are a hostile party.

Erdogan speaks openly about trying to recreate the Islamic caliphate.

He now has control of Syria, and he wants to be in Gaza so that he can take control there and replace the Iranian situation.

Before October 7th, Iran had

Hezbollah threatening Israel on the north.

They were also entrenched in Syria and they had Hamas, which was an Iranian proxy in the south.

Erdogan just wants to replace the Iranians as the Islamic hegemon in the region.

He wants to replace Iran as the threat to Israel on its borders.

But as I was saying before the break, Steve, there's a larger problem for Trump's foreign policy that has nothing to do with Israel.

And that is that the other

nations in the region, the other states in the region who know what Turkey is and they know what Qatar is, are very nervous about this love affair that the Trump administration is currently having with the Qataris and the Turks.

It doesn't really make it into the American media much, but the Emiratis... Hang on, hang on.

Listen, that's what we're going to have to do.

And Netanyahu is going to be under a lot of pressure domestically.

There's no one in Israel, right or left, who wants the Turks involved in anything.

Look, this...

I am the greatest fan of President Trump.

What he's done in the Middle East, the gifts that he has given to Israel are unlike any by any American president in history, full stop.
