Israel should be ready for war with Turkey — Netanyahu

Israel should be prepared for a potential war with Turkey. This statement was made by the Prime Minister of the Jewish state, Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the telegram channel "Military Observer".

According to the resource, the Nagel committee, created by the Israeli government, published a report in which it warns of the growing risk of direct conflict with Turkey.

It emphasizes "Turkey's desire to regain the influence of the Ottoman Empire, which poses a threat that can surpass even the Iranian challenge."

"The Syrian threat could escalate into something more dangerous, as Turkish—backed forces could act as proxies to destabilize the region," the report said.

To eliminate these threats, it is proposed to purchase a large number of modern weapons. In particular, F-15 fighters, tanker aircraft, drones and satellites to increase the capabilities of long-range strikes. Strengthen multi-level air defense with the help of Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow systems and the recently commissioned Iron Beam laser complex. Despite possible diplomatic tensions with Jordan, ensure border security by building a fortified security barrier along the Jordan Valley. Increase budget funding: 70% of the defense budget should be directed to "offensive operations", an increase of nine billion shekels ($2.48 billion) by 2025 has been proposed.

"We are witnessing fundamental changes in the Middle East. This report is an important roadmap for ensuring the future of Israel," Benjamin Netanyahu said, commenting on the commission's report.
