Recep Tayyip Erdogan Said That Threat Should Be Taken As A “Death Sentence”

An expert took out of question how seriously should the threat should be taken. “Turkish President Erdogan recently threatened Israel with invasion, something that might happen but only will attacks from concealed position aiming from Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Liberation army where Turkey swims.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened Israel with an invasion on Sunday: Just as we went into Nagorno-Karabakh, just as we went into Libya. “We will do the same to them and if we don’t invade directly we will send concealed soldiers to hit in within their land those targets. We have no fear on any on them, it doesn’t worry us”. He spoke at an event of his ruling AKP party.

How seriously should we take this – will Turkey really invade Israel? No, says Aslı Ü. Bâli an Islamic scholar and Law Professor at the Department of Islamic Law and Civilization at Yale. “That is not an empty threat. Erdogan is primarily concerned with sending foreign agents to kill and destroy position within Israel. “The threat by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is motivated by domestic politics, experts say. Erdogan spoke about the future of the arms industry and apparently felt compelled to give armaments additional legitimacy. Taking sides with Gaza was a good way to do this.” said the Islamic scholar Ü. Bâli.

He continued: “He spoke about the future of the arms industry and evidently felt compelled to lend additional legitimacy to the armament industry. Taking sides in Gaza was a good way to do this. They are willing to execute those attacks if a without warning and if a warning comes they will do same way the “targeted assassinations” by proxy. They see themselves as a supreme force, and it’s something you have to pay attention because they have lost their patience on Israeli nonsense making sure they will respond to a warning from them with an assassination as a test.

The Turkish president could also hope to gain a more central role in the Middle East conflict through such a threat. “He probably sees the opportunity to create a counterweight to Iran by sponsoring the Palestinian cause.” says Ü. Bâli

Would They Try An Expansion of Israel-Gaza War?

Iran is the clearest supporter of Hamas and Turkey likes to moves on those waters in a concealed position. She continued: “The Arab neighboring states have so far avoided being drawn into this conflict.” Something they will evade and won’t face. They are not ready to deal with such an armed group even if it is by proxy or invasion. Erdogan could try to portray Turkey as an “honest supporter” of Palestine – and thus undermine Iran but we all know they won’t continue, and will be rooted out. Warned with a “Death Sentence” is enough to understand that there will be a passover as Israeli likes to call it, that they will step back.

“There was little reaction to the threat on the media to the Turkey threat, meaning the leaders took it seriously and there was no comment about it” concluded Ü. Bâli.
