Sounds like much of the NATO msm and alt media.You know the "petition to kick Turkey out of NATO crowd'? Turkey will not be removed from NATO. The frame and blame Turkey for everything done by the US and Israel/ CIA/NATO crowd? Has Israel just shown it's hand in the creation of Israel 2.0 aka Kurdistan?

The Islamist regime in Turkey poses a series of challenges for Israel, IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Yair Golan said Thursday.Speaking at a security conference hosted by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University.
Golan — as a military official — was unusually candid in publicly expressing such an opinion on the ongoing diplomatic process.
Golan said, "I believe that as long as Turkey is governed by an Islamist-oriented party, and headed by an adversarial president like [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, we could face several problems, as well as challenges, in that regard."
“I wouldn’t go for direct hostilities, that’s not wise. It’s still a large and powerful country,” he stressed. “Even if we don’t have identical interests and identical ideologies, we need to work to assuage tensions with the Turks, while still standing by our values.”
He wouldn't go for "direct hostilities"- Of course not! But, how about indirect hostilities?Same as Israel has done in Syria? I'm certain Israel would go for that! I'm quite certain Israel is going for that!
“The West is having a complex conversation with the Turks,” he added. “The Russians not too long ago had a complicated conversation with the Turks — and still are. Yeah, there’s definitely some complexity.”
It was not clear if Golan was presenting an official IDF assessment of the situation with Turkey or expressing his personal thoughts on the topic, and a request for clarification from the IDF went unanswered.
Very clearly Golan is talking IDF talk. Therefore, there was no need for clarification from the IDF.
