Is the evacuation not more likely related to the Iranian missiles intercepted over Turkey (given Iran had targeted US assets elsewhere in the region and enforced evacuations there).

Apparently he was highly influential anyway behind the scenes so might not be a massive shift. |  |

This report was from before the Iran attacks, but Netanyahu repeated it over the weekend https://www.aljazeera.com/news |  | |  |

Not even Al Jazeera is suggesting Israel are likely to attack Turkey though (and the same publication suggests the evacuations are related to a general anti US Sentiment. The article just talks about a worsening relationship between Turkey and Israel, talks of a military attack is quite a leap. Turkey are actively intercepting Iranian missiles with NATO equipment so it would be quite counterproductive for Israel to target a country which is depleting Iran’s missile stocks. Not to mention the US has military presence in Southern Turkey. [Post edited 9 Mar 14:39]

https://monitoring.bbc.co.uk/p It's not quite the leap for some in the region. I agree, for all the reasons you say it is highly unlikely, but this is a bizarre place right now. I was in the US the last two weeks and it was reported over there, which made me stop what I was doing and sit up! |  | |  |
