Israeli Foreign Minister: “We need to look at the interests of the Kurdish minority, which is relatively friendly to Israel, and see what its desires are.”

1. Israel’s been friendly towards Kurds for quite sometime, and there are significant alignment between their interests. Whether they have the capacity to turn the Kurds out as proxies like Iran did with Hezbollah and Houthis is the real question. While the Kurds have been betrayed by every player in the region, and desperately in need of a friend / patron, it is unclear what levels of support Israel have been providing or can ramp up to. Never the less, unlike its ongoing projects with Arab states, it’s one relationship fully within Israel’s reach. 

2. This is probably the Kurds best chance of gaining a sovereign state but Turkey will do whatever it can to stop that from happening.

   If they can establish a state I’d suspect they’d see an outpouring of western investment and even more military support but it would only be a matter of time until they themselves are attacked by HTS.

   Lord knows the Kurds deserve a state of their own.

3. This all depends on Two things

   If Israel convinces the US in backing the Kurds for good this time to create an Alliance with Israel

   And if Israel thinks this worthy to break ties with Turkey
