Operation Iron Swords (מבצע חרבות ברזל)

Erdogan definitely wants to play his own game. And catering to Islamists sentiments is a part of it.
He dreams of Greater Anatolia. Therefor he uses the "rebels" to eventually take over parts of Syria. They already do have the Turkish Lira as currency in Idlib for example.

His dreams are even greater. Great Turan, or what its name should be. Why not, after all? We are entering in an era of regional powers.
 
He is gambling all the time, plays all sides. One day they all will tell him to **** off.
It may well be so. But, on the other hand, I think that talks about him wanting to return back 'the Ottoman Empire' is a bit exaggerated. What he wants is eliminating a threat to Turkish security (here the Kurdish separatism meant), and to have a say in regional affairs.

Idlib has nothing to do with the Kurds. He either wants to consume it or have a place where he can put the murderers so they won´t come to Turkey after they did soooooooooo much for him.

Consume, not. Why would he want millions more radical Arabs inside his country? They can be his proxies in his relatiions with the Syrian Kurds.

He can use them up. When they are gone, the loot is free to take. But we will see.

Yeah, too bad that thread didn't get too much debate.
 
Even the Spiegel came up with that story later. They surely copied from my thread. It was a noteworthy matter. Most people are too narrow to see what really matters in any region.
The article is behind the paywall. But you are exaggerating, obviously.

This is Biden taking his farewell swipe at Israel.
It’s worse than the farewell swipe Obama took at Israel with the U.N. vote.

I bet Netanyahu and Israelis are counting down the days until Jan 20 even more fervently than we are.

It is the Israeli victory. Netanyahu´s condition for peace talks is being fulfilled by Hezbollah. Red here the news of Nov 3.
Note that Operation Norther Swords is not equal to Operation Iron Swords. It is not about the destruction of Hezbollah but only done to end the shelling. With this agreement the goal of the operation, provide safety for inhabitants of northern Israel, has been achieved.
Hezbollah has been severely defeated.
