Refusing coordination.. Israel anxiously monitors Turkish-Qatari movements in Syria

Israel's refusal to coordinate with Turkey reveals Tel Aviv's concerns about Ankara's attempts to expand its influence in Syria after Assad regime's fall

Israel rejected a Turkish request to establish a military coordination mechanism in Syria, in a position reflecting its concerns about Ankara's attempts to expand its influence in the region.
The Hebrew "Channel 12" revealed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to communicate with Israel through back channels to coordinate military activities in Syria, but Tel Aviv decided not to respond to this request.
The channel explained that Turkish officials sought to establish a coordination mechanism similar to what existed between Russia and Israel in Syria, in an attempt to strengthen their military position.
Israel adopts a firm policy toward Syria, aiming to prevent any armament in the new phase after Assad regime's fall, amid fears of weapons flowing into the region.
Washington has begun dialogue with "Abu Mohammed al-Jolani" to discuss Syria's future, a move that Israel cautiously monitors and prefers the US administration to handle the file.
Tel Aviv anxiously follows Turkey and Qatar's communications with al-Jolani, fearing the formation of a new regional axis that threatens its strategic interests in the region.
The Israeli position reflects a desire to limit the management of the Syrian file to Washington's hands, to preserve its security interests and prevent the growth of Turkish influence in the region.
