🇹🇷Turkyie plans to enshrine the Mavi Vatan doctrine in law. This law would allow the #Turkish navy to extend its influence in the eastern Mediterranean and thereby establish a new balance of power.

The implementation of this Mavi Vatan law will only serve to exacerbate tensions. In an already highly tense context, Recep Tayyip #Erdogan clearly has no intention of bringing #peace to the Middle East.

Another theater in the Israel-Turkey rivalry to watch is Somalia/Somaliland.
For Israel, Somaliland is not just depth for the Houthis/Iran, but also to "contain" Turkish influence in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, given Ankara's strong partnership with Somalia.
One of many factors in the complex competition in the Horn of Africa/broader Red Sea region.
