A Hebrew-language newspaper has reported that the expanding military cooperation between Egypt and Turkey has raised concerns in Israel and could impact the regional balance of power.<\/p>\n
The newspaper “Maariv” wrote that the two countries recently began a joint air exercise at several Egyptian military bases, an action described by the outlet as unprecedented. This exercise comes just months after the first joint naval drill between Cairo and Ankara in 13 years.<\/p>\n
According to the report, sources close to Turkey’s ruling party have expressed Ankara’s desire to formulate a new regional strategy involving Egypt. Such an approach could extend bilateral cooperation beyond military exercises to broader political and security coordination.<\/p>\n
It is also claimed that the United States has requested its political delegations in Cairo and Ankara to investigate the nature and extent of these relations. According to the report, U.S. intelligence agencies have closely monitored a significant increase in the volume and level of cooperation between the Egyptian and Turkish defense ministries.<\/p>\n
Egypt and Turkey are key players in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, and any military rapprochement between them could have implications for the balance of power and security arrangements in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
