Turkey under increased surveillance Erdogan gains street influence
The article addressed Israel's concern over Turkey's increasing influence regionally and internationally, especially in light of the deteriorating Turkish public opinion towards the West, including the United States and Israel. Most assessments indicate that the West is viewed as a threat to Turkey’s security and economic stability. The findings revealed that over 70% of Turks harbor negative feelings towards the United States and Israel, and public opinion has come to judge relations with the West unfavorably. This reflects an escalation in anti-Western political and media rhetoric, with public sentiment blending into official policies led by Erdogan. The report also clarified that any potential change in Turkish leadership would not automatically lead to normalization of relations with Israel; on the contrary, it could adopt an adversarial stance. This is because Erdogan’s populist rhetoric reinforces those positions, making Turkey a clear risk to the West and Israel, and further complicating relations with Washington and Tel Aviv.
