Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East. The Nagel Commission report emphasizes that this could become an even greater risk to Israel than the ongoing concerns with Iran. Israel’s defense strategy is shifting, with recommendations to boost offensive military capabilities and allocate a larger defense budget. This evolving situation reflects broader regional instability, exacerbated by Turkey’s involvement and recent developments in Syria.

German Ambassador Andreas Michaelis has allegedly cautioned Berlin that Donald Trump’s second term could undermine democracy in the US. In a confidential cable, Michaelis reportedly claimed Trump might centralize power, redefine the First Amendment, and misuse the media and law enforcement for political purposes.
