Netanyahu never expected it!
The Israeli "Terminator" has appeared! Israel itself has not yet found Turkey, but it was pre-empted by Erdogan. On September 29, local time, Turkish President Erdogan ordered Turkey to send two frigates to join the humanitarian rescue fleet escorting to Gaza.
More coincidentally, on the same day, Netanyahu just nodded his head to agree to the "20-point plan" proposed by the United States. This side just set up a shelf of cooperation with the United States, where Erdogan came with a military ship.
Let's first talk about what the "20-point plan" Netanyahu gritted his teeth and agreed to is. On the surface, it looks like that: Hamas releases hostages, Israel releases prisoners, Gaza resumes humanitarian aid, and a temporary governance institution.
But there are holes inside. Israel wants to leave a large "buffer zone" in Gaza and has not said when to withdraw its troops. The so-called "Palestinian statehood" is just empty talk and does not even mention the four words "two-state solution."
What's even more ruthless is that Netanyahu directly excluded the Palestinian National Authority from the governance of Gaza, which is tantamount to saying that Gaza has to be at the mercy of Israel after the war.
He thought it would be stable if he hugged the thigh of the United States. Trump said, "Hamas will fully support Israel if it doesn't agree." But he forgot that the rules of the Middle East are never decided by Americans. Erdogan has long been waiting to teach him a lesson.
Erdogan’s old fox, too timely, chose to take action on the same day, to let the world see that the conspiracy of the United States and Israel, Turkey did not promise.
Sending two frigates to escort the rescue flotilla was not a delivery of supplies. It was clearly a demonstration of muscles and a struggle for morality. That place in Gaza was tightly sealed by Israel. In May last year, an aid flotilla wanted to go there. In the end, Israel forced the ship's registry country to withdraw its flag and stopped it.
This time Erdogan directly sent a military ship escort, which meant very clearly: there is a kind of you move again to try? this is not only from the military ships, but also from the old hatred 15 years ago.
In recent years, Turkey and the United States have long stopped dealing with each other. The Kurdish armed forces supported by the United States have been regarded as a thorn in Turkey's side. Turkey bought Russia's S-400 missile system and was kicked out of the F-35 project by the United States.
Trump's "20-point plan" didn't discuss it with Turkey at all. He wanted to hold the dominance of the Middle East in his own hands and Israel. How could Erdogan endure it? Gaza is the "heart and flesh" of the Islamic world. Whoever can help Palestine get ahead will be able to attract a large group of allies.
Erdogan not only scolded Israel for being "overbearing", but also appeared to be "biased" by the United States. Instead, he became a "messenger of justice." This deal is too good.
Netanyahu is now in trouble, agreeing that the "20 points plan" was intended to borrow the U.S. force to suppress Hamas, and as a result, Erdogan came, the situation was completely messy.
If Israel dares to stop the Turkish fleet, it will confront Turkey head-on. The international condemnation triggered by the "Marmara" incident is still vivid in my mind. If it takes action now, the Islamic countries will have to collectively turn against him. But if we don't stop it, won't the rules of the "buffer zone" and the blockade of Gaza become a joke?
Even more devastating is the fact that the United States has also had a headache at the moment, Turkey is a NATO member, and it is really a mess with Israel, and the United States is not helping anyone.
If you help Israel, you will lose Turkey, the fulcrum of the Middle East; Help Turkey, but I'm sorry for Israel, a hardcore ally. Erdogan has calculated the weakness of the United States, so he dares to be so fearless.
Israel is afraid of Turkey in the Middle East, Turkey hates Israel to benefit in Gaza, and is more disappointed that Israel is always following the U.S. to oppress itself.
Before Israel bombed military bases in Syria, it was fear of Turkey expanding its power in Syria, the two countries' contradictions have long been on the scene.
This time the "20-point plan" became the trigger. Erdogan took advantage of the opportunity to play a role. It not only attacked Israel, but also added to the U.S. layout in the Middle East, and also consolidated his domestic support rate-after all, scolding Israel and helping Palestine will always win votes in Turkey.
Let's look at the people of Gaza, who have become victims of this game. Israel's blockade has left Gaza short of food and clothing, and medical supplies have long been out of stock. The United States '"20-point plan" says it will resume aid, but it does not say when and how much.
Although Erdogan's rescue flotilla brought supplies, it was more of a political symbol. To really solve the Gaza problem, it still needed to rely on a tangible ceasefire and a fair agreement.
But in the eyes of these politicians, human life is less important than power, Netanyahu wants Israel’s “security”, Erdogan wants Turkey’s “status”, Trump wants America’s “hegemony”, who really cares if the Gaza people can survive?
Now the situation is becoming more and more clear, Erdogan's first step is to prevent, not only against Israel, but also against the United States, he wants to let the world know that the Middle East is not the United States and Israel, Turkey is entitled to sit in the first row.
Netanyahu is counting, not counting that Erdogan would use the trick of “humanitarian+military deterrence” to roast him and the United States on fire.
Next, it depends on whether Israel dares to stop the flotilla. If it does, the Middle East will explode; if it does not, Netanyahu's domestic support rating will plummet.
In the final analysis, this is not a "coincidence" at all. It is Erdogan's deliberate layout, from the seeds planted by the "Marmara" incident, to the gradually drifting away from the United States over the years, and then to the leadership of the Middle East. His ambition has long been doomed to deal a fatal blow to Israel at the most critical moment.
Netanyahu thinks that holding the United States’ thighs is high, but forgets the Middle East’s river lake, it’s always been a bad thing to say, Erdogan’s warships have gone out of the sea, Netanyahu’s trouble has just begun.
