Turkey Repositions for Post-War Middle East, Sharpens Rivalry With Israel

🇹🇷 ANKARA — Turkey is courting new partners before the war even ends. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: With Iran degraded and Israel isolated, Ankara sees the window. Turkish-Israeli rivalry predates this war but flotilla, summoned ambassadors, and repatriation flights give Erdogan domestic cover to harden it. New security partnerships likely target Gulf states wary of both Tehran and Tel Aviv. Washington needs Turkey's NATO flank — Erdogan will price that accordingly.
