New Security Concept and Preventive Operation Doctrine
Possible Conflict Scenarios with Turkey and the Washington Line
Conclusion and Future Perspective
This new military doctrine and anti-Turkey rhetoric pointed out by Netanyahu complicate the delicate balances in the Eastern Mediterranean while exponentially increasing the risk of triggering regional crises. Despite the disagreements with the US, the Tel Aviv administration's penchant for unilateral preventive operations may make future inter-proxy or direct confrontation scenarios, which are difficult to control, inevitable. Given Turkey's resolute deterrence policies and the military reflexes it exhibits in the field, the extent to which this aggressive strategy by Israel is sustainable will constitute the most critical strategic equation of the upcoming period.
