America Just Made a Stunning Move on Syria, But There’s a HUGE Catch

Israel and the United States may be allies, but when it comes to Syria and Turkey, a potentially dangerous divide is opening up. Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack Washington’s decision to remove Syria from its state-sponsor-of-terrorism list despite its new president’s jihadist past before addressing the controversy surrounding U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s comments on the Golan Heights. Then they turn to an even bigger potential flashpoint: Turkey’s expanding influence in Syria and Israel’s determination to prevent Turkish military forces from establishing themselves closer to its borders. Viewers will learn why Jerusalem and Washington increasingly see Syria and Erdogan through very different lenses, why Israel has already demonstrated that Turkish military expansion could cross a red line and how Prime Minister Netanyahu must navigate those disagreements without jeopardizing Israel’s crucial relationship with President Trump.
