🎙 Host — Mariana Belenkaya, journalist at First Radio (Israel), Middle East correspondent
🎥 Guest — Dr. Mohammad Farajallah, editor-in-chief of “Ukraine in Arabic”, expert in Ukrainian-Arab relations
Israel has once again found itself at the center of the Middle Eastern puzzle.
🟡 Key highlights discussed — especially for Israelis
1. Erdogan — an ally or a threat to Israel?
Despite ties with Hamas, Turkey may become a strategic shield for northern Israel. Turkish influence currently restrains chaos in Syria and prevents the opening of new fronts.
2. Israel made a mistake by striking Syria during its moment of weakness
Dr. Farajallah strongly criticizes Israel’s actions under Netanyahu: instead of supporting the transitional phase and pushing out Iran and Russia, Israel looked like a “vulture.”
This could damage Israel’s interests in the future.
3. Why Israel needs Erdogan — even if he’s unpopular
Erdogan may serve as a key negotiator between Jerusalem and Damascus.
He could revive the 1974 agreement and establish a new zone of stability on Israel’s northern border.
4. How Ukraine’s security is tied to Israel’s
The fronts of war in the Middle East are also a Ukrainian front.
Dr. Farajallah explains: Russia’s hybrid warfare methods used in Ukraine were first tested in Syria. Ukraine’s victory would also mean greater security for Israel.
5. The Iranian axis and Hamas — puppets of the same game
Iran uses Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups solely for its own agenda. Farajallah emphasizes: Iran does not care about Arabs, and it is Israel and Turkey who can form a new balancing alliance.
6. Russia has weakened in Syria, but remains in the Middle East
While losing ground in Syria, Russia maintains influence through Iran. This poses a threat to both Israel and Ukraine and calls for a joint response.
7. Saudi Arabia and diplomacy
Riyadh no longer actively participates — it only provides a platform. Ukraine lost its support, which means the negotiation process now again depends on major players, including Turkey and Israel.
📌 Dr. Farajallah is one of the few who connects Israel’s security, the war in Ukraine, and the influence of Turkey and Iran into one clear scenario.
He emphasizes:
➡️ Ukraine’s victory means the collapse of Putin’s strategy in the Middle East
➡️ Israel can play a key role if it starts acting with Turkey, not against it
➡️ Syria cannot be ignored — its weakness could turn into a disaster for Israel
