Turkey Is Positioning Itself on Two of Israel’s Borders. Should Jerusalem Worry?

The collapse of the Assad regime in Syria almost a year ago was undoubtedly a boon for Jerusalem and a defeat for the Russia-Iran-Hizballah axis. Indeed, it couldn’t have happened had Israel not defanged Hizballah in Lebanon earlier that year.
