Admiral Jeet Yagi, former commander of the Navy and one of the developers of the naval doctrine "Blue Motherland" / Maui Watten, made sharp threats against Israel. In an interview with the Turkish newspaper GZT, he said that in the event of a direct confrontation, the Turkish army would "crush the IDF like an insect." Yaji said that Israel could launch an air strike on Turkey, but would not withstand a full ground war. According to him, 30 million Turks will move south and Syria and Lebanon will not be able to stop their progress. He also accused Israel of trying to weaken the central government in Damascus, and spark a conflict between Sunnis and Shiites.
