Turkey Could Be Next in Israel's Cross-hairs After Qatar. The Consequences? Catastrophic
If all-out war breaks out amid rising tensions between Turkey and Israel, the result would be not just another Middle Eastern conflict or a one-off Doha style strike, but a strategic earthquake that alters the global balance of power
The Shin Bet security service announced last week that it thwarted a Turkey-based Hamas cell's plot to assassinate National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Ankara quickly denied involvement. But the revelation raised an explosive question: Could Turkey have a hand in helping Hamas assassinate an Israeli minister?
If 
the plot had succeeded, Israel could have interpreted it as an act of war. Until recently, the prospect of armed conflict between Turkey and Israel – both U.S. and European strategic partners – seemed unthinkable.
The seeds of confrontation have been growing for years. 
Ankara's open support for Hamas and its military buildup in Syria can be seen as a neo-Ottoman foreign policy aimed at displacing rivals and asserting Turkish dominance across the Middle East.
