Israel and Turkey establish covert backchannel to avoid friction in Syria

According to a report by the Times of Israel, Israel and Turkey have established a covert backchannel to prevent unintended friction during the ongoing developments in Syria. This measure is aimed at indirect coordination and risk management within the complex security environment of Syria. Informed sources emphasized that this channel allows both sides to prevent potential misunderstandings in the event of any military or security movements. Relations between Ankara and Jerusalem have experienced diplomatic ups and downs in recent years, but security imperatives along the Syrian border have made indirect intelligence cooperation a necessity. Further details regarding the level of these talks or the representatives involved have not yet been disclosed.
