Unfortunately, Israel currently has an ongoing “democratic” problem. Plus, there is an impediment on natural gas exports. For Israel: Time for new-narrative is more than a sine qua non under the circumstances.

AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT BUT ALSO COMPETITION

Mounting democratic problems in Israel are sure to give way to economic malaise in the long run. All the while, the decaying West is desperately struggling with its own domestic and international problems.

As a result, it is crucial at this stage for Israel to stay away from major power politics. Especially when it comes to the sea regimes to be established in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, it must stay away from conflict but also competition.

Attempting military parity for Israel cannot be the focus, never mind trying to seek superiority. For Israel, there is no alternative, domestically and internationally, other than to cooperate and coexist.

Factoring Turkish Reality in the Mediterranean sea

Factoring Turkish reality is important. There is a phenomenal growth of the Turkish Defense Industry in the past decade. Exports were non-existent only a few years ago. Now, 10 billion dollar per year is more than a probability within a year or two.

That would make Turkiye potentially one of the top five military suppliers in the world. Surely, the Turkish Armed Forces will tremendously benefit from this turn around. The Turkish navy will also take its share of positive ripple effects.

The Turkish Navy will mainly ensure a new “drilling and exploration” regime to take root in the local waters. It will roam the entire region from Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean Sea with strength and presence.

Eastern Mediterranean Sea Economic Zones - Libya Turkiye Maritime Agreement defines the border, effectively making Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Turkiye, alongside northern and southern Cypriots and Palestinias exclusive beneficiaries of this closed sea, keeping everyone else out from local riches

Turkiye borders Libya, Egypt, and Israel. The regime divides the eastern Mediterranean Sea equitably among all nine nations bordering this closed sea.
