00:00Turkey could be a very important regional partner, but only if they stop talking about
00:08making Turkey the new Iran, etc. Turkey is not a simple country. It's a $1.6 trillion economy,
00:16G20. It's a NATO member state. Militarily, please, they shouldn't even think about it.
00:24Turkey has a bigger navy, a bigger army. It has enough weaponry, drones, etc. to make sure that
00:32nothing happens in this region if it doesn't want it. So it's not even strategically
00:39a thought to challenge Turkey one-on-one directly. That would be completely wrong.
00:44And if the Israelis do not have the U.S. behind them, I don't think they can even go forward
00:51on a one-to-one basis with Iran. So stop challenging everybody. Calm down and let diplomacy do its trick.
00:59Okay. I mean, what is Israel thinking here? I mean, clearly, Turkey is a member of NATO and
01:06is a strategic partner of the United States. Turkey has NATO's second largest army. We've just seen
01:12this major show of force by the Turks, a military and naval drill involving 125 naval vessels. I mean,
01:22clearly, it would be a very messy battle if it came to that, wouldn't it?
01:27It shouldn't be. There should be no battle on this issue. I'm sorry, if I can just finalize my words
01:34on
01:34that. There shouldn't be any battle on this because nobody will win. Nobody will win. But Israel will
01:40definitely not attain anything that it wishes. On the contrary, it will suffer a lot. Therefore,
01:47we all have to calm down. Putting somebody as a target practice for this current government is very easy
01:57to talk about it. But when Naftali Bennett or somebody else comes into power, it's going to be
02:04something else. They need to be a little bit more logical. They need to be a little bit more diplomatic
02:08and a little bit more smooth politically. Otherwise, it's not going to work out in this region.
