Israeli newspaper Maariv reports that Israel considers Turkey a more significant threat than Iran. This assessment stems from Turkey’s possession of the second-largest military force within NATO. Furthermore, Turkey has achieved nearly 80% self-sufficiency in its defense industry production. The report highlights Ankara’s growing military capabilities as the primary driver of this perceived increased threat. This shift in perspective suggests a reassessment of regional security concerns by Israeli intelligence. The article does not detail specific concerns beyond the scale and independence of Turkey’s defense sector. No immediate response from Turkish officials has been reported.
