My opinion to @Newsweek @ShaolinTom on @Turkey @Israel conflict on @Syria and the way forward:

#Türkiye’s Role: Türkiye is neither willing nor able to shield #Syria from #Israeli actions.

#Israel’s Responsibility: Israel must demonstrate a genuine commitment to #peace rather than engaging in another prolonged conflict.

#Skepticism on Direct Confrontation: Neither side appears fully committed to direct confrontation, but the costs of escalation would be significant.

#Syria’s Fragile State: Syrians neither want nor can afford another conflict, as the country is already devastated.

#Call for U.S. Mediation: The #U.S., as a key ally of both Türkiye and Israel, must take a more proactive role in #negotiating peace between Israel and Syria.

#Path to Stability: A more effective approach would be for the U.S. to mediate an understanding between Syria and Israel, requiring Syria’s leadership to prioritize national interests over ideological conflicts.

#Avoiding Regional Proxy Wars: Immediate steps must be taken to prevent #Syria from becoming a battleground for competing regional powers.

#Urgent Diplomatic Action Needed: A proactive diplomatic effort is essential to prevent further instability and pave the way for long-term regional security.
