We’re kicking off a short new series on the Middle East. Of course, we must begin with the country on everyone’s mind – Israel.

The Israeli government is a fragile conglomerate of coalitions that have been led (and weakened) by Benjamin Netanyahu over the past decades. Netanyahu has managed to piss off Trump in recent times as well, with his requests for freedom to operate in Gaza, removal of US tariffs, and US strikes on Iran; Trump was quick to reject all three. But Netanyahu did get something from Trump – a nice seat at the top of his s**t list.

The situation in Gaza remains unsolved and is as complicated as ever. The US is disengaging from the Middle East, which means Israel is going to have to find someone else who carries a big stick and can help ensure its strategic future. Given Israeli reliance on imports food, energy, and tech, Turkey is the best option…despite the hoops and hurdles they’ll need to jump through and around to make it happen.
