The Western military organization is not a military force that can start a war, and in its charter, it is only obligated to defend its member states against attack. As we reported here, about two months ago, Turkish planes tried to lure Israeli Air Force planes into Turkish airspace. If the IDF planes had violated Turkish sovereignty, Turkey would have had reason to turn to NATO for help. To the manoeuvre, Turkey even used, as we have assessed, the airspace of a disputed area between it and Syria, in such a way that IDF planes could have flown over a Syrian area that they assess is under Syrian sovereignty, but in Turkey's eyes is Turkish under Turkish sovereignty. This was the reason for the Turkish air manoeuvre, to manoeuvre Israel into the position of an attacking state. In March of this year, the Islamist president, who supports Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, Erdogan, stated that "Israel is a terrorist state." He said these words about a year and a half after the organization he supports, Hamas, massacred 1,200 helpless Israelis in one day, many of whom were raped and tortured by its murderers before being executed. Erdogan's words placed the attack by the murderers and the massacre on the same level as the IDF's defence of Israel and its citizens, against the attack and against a similar attack in the future. This week at the NATO Defence Ministers' Conference, in the presence of European countries that are already planning to take steps against Israel (following the extreme behaviour of an ultra-radical Israeli government that brought Israel to the brink of destruction on October 7, and gave Europe justifications to attack Israel, due to the extension of the war in Gaza), the Turkish "defence" minister said, according to the Turkish Anadolu News Agency, that "NATO members must stand with Turkey in solidarity, in its long-standing position, and in its effective war on terror." The Turkish defence minister wants Europe to remove for Turkey the Israeli obstacle and the Kurdish obstacle on Turkey's path to taking over the Middle East (with the support of Trump's US). In mid-May, we estimated that "next month at the NATO conference in The Hague, Erdogan will, in our estimation, demand Israel's condemnation and warning regarding both Syria and Gaza" (see today's Diary section for the original article). Erdogan did indeed do so yesterday through his "Defence Minister." In the past, we suggested that Israel get ahead of the curve and file a complaint against Turkey with NATO, alleging that Turkey is operating in Syria and the Middle East in violation of the NATO Charter. But Israel did not do so, without noticing that NATO's mobilization in Favor of radical Islam, even if it is impractical at this moment, would constitute a fundamental threat to the existence of the State of Israel.
