Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel would not tolerate Turkish military forces expanding southward in Syria, Middle East Eye reported. Netanyahu characterized such an expansion as a threat to Israeli security, underscoring Jerusalem's concerns about foreign military deployments near its borders.
The warning reflects mounting Israeli alarm over Turkish military activity along Syria's northern frontier and the potential consequences of Turkish forces operating closer to Israeli territory. Turkey maintains a significant military foothold in northern Syria, where it conducts operations against Kurdish armed groups and Syrian government forces. Netanyahu's statement signals Israel's readiness to resist what it views as unfavorable shifts in the regional military balance.
