President Recep Tayyip Erdogan directly challenged the geopolitical status of the Israeli capital by explicitly telling the Turkish parliament that “Jerusalem is our city, a city from us.”
Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen warns of Erdogan’s ambitions to renew dominance in the Middle East, including control of Jerusalem.
In an in-depth strategic analysis with the TOV Hebrew media network, Hacohen warns of broad regional trends that threaten Israel.
Turkey aspires to revive the days of the Ottoman Empire, an aspiration that includes renewed dominance in the Syrian and maritime spheres and even control over Jerusalem.
Hacohen emphasizes that the Turks are working to establish a “Blue Homeland” in the Mediterranean Sea, claiming vast waters with huge economic resources as their own and using the Turkish navy to demonstrate their presence.
This can also be seen in the occupation of northern Cyprus.
Modern Turkey’s pursuit of a “Neo-Ottoman” empire marks a significant departure from the isolationist framework established during the founding of the modern republic.
By leveraging cross-border military actions, sweeping maritime doctrines, and highly symbolic cultural reversals, the state systematically projects power well beyond its borders.
