During a recent episode of “The Watchman Newscast,” Stakelbeck argued that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s military ambitions in Syria could place Turkey and Israel on a path toward direct confrontation.

Stakelbeck called Turkey “what I believe will be Israel’s next great enemy,” pointing to Erdoğan’s support for Hamas and repeated hostility toward the Jewish state.

“He’s talked about conquering Jerusalem. He’s talked about attacking Israel,” Stakelbeck said. “He’s declared Israel an enemy of Turkey.”

Syria has become the immediate flashpoint in the escalating Israel-Turkey conflict. Stakelbeck said Erdoğan wants to establish a Turkish military presence near Israel’s northern border with the support of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani.

“Erdogan wants to establish a presence in Syria at Israel’s northern doorstep, and Israel is saying, ‘No, we’re not going to have it,’” Stakelbeck said.

Turkey reportedly planned to move troops, tanks and heavy weaponry into a Syrian air base. Israel struck the facility, warning Ankara against establishing a military foothold near Israeli territory.

Stakelbeck described Turkey as “NATO in name only” and accused Western leaders of ignoring Erdoğan’s Islamist ideology.
