Since Israel's air strike on the Syrian Abu Zukhur air base on the 18th, relations between Israel and Turkey have suddenly tightened, and verbal clashes and diplomatic actions between the two sides have continued. Barak, the US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy on the Syrian issue, said in an interview a few days ago that there may be an influence of the current domestic election factors behind this round of turmoil. Barak said that the reason for Israel's air strike on the Abu Zukhur air base was probably intended to “lure” Turkey into a new round of conflict, and said that this was probably Israel's “pre-election strategy.” Because if a head-on conflict breaks out between Israel and Turkey, it will benefit the election situation in the camp led by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
