Turkey Reportedly Plans to Establish Joint ‘Safe Zone’ in Syria, Iraq

According to the Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak, taking the city of Manbij in northern Aleppo Governorate will be the first step in creating this security zone, which will extend through Idlib, al-Bab and A'zaz in the north-west of Syria, before later being extended through currently Kurdish held territory east of the Euphrates and in northern Iraq.

Turkey plans to establish a joint security corridor within Syria and Iraq along its southern border, stretching to the border with Iran, according to the newspaper Yeni Safak.

The planned security zone will be up to 30-40 km wide.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu endorsed a roadmap to ensure stability in Manbij.

Mevlut Cavusoglu said the roadmap would include three stages and stipulated that the YPG troops lay down their weapons. The Foreign Minister added that the framework of cooperation between Ankara and Washington used in Manbij could later be used in other regions of northern Syria.

US-Turkish relations have suffered a setback amid Ankara's concerns over US support for the YPG, which is viewed by the Turkish authorities as an affiliate of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been designated a terrorist organization by Turkey.

Ankara has repeatedly accused Washington of failing to fulfill its promises regarding the withdrawal of the YPG, who seized Manbij from the Daesh* terrorist group in June 2016.

Daesh* (aka IS, ISIS) is a terrorist group banned in Russia

Is Putin Really Ditching Iran and Siding With Netanyahu in Syria?

The Israeli media is celebrating just that but it's actually the furthest thing from truth

The deal Russia is hammering for southern Syria sets back Israel's number one priority: provoke a US attack on Iran

So what do we know about what is going on in Syria?

I submit that it is obvious that Russia and Israel have made some kind of deal. That there is an understanding of some kind is admitted by both sides, but there is also clearly more happening here which is not spelled out in full. The Israelis, as always, are bragging about their total victory and posting articles like this one: “In Syria, Putin and Netanyahu Were on the Same Side All Along” with the subheading reading “Putin is ready to ditch Iran to keep Israel happy and save Assad’s victory“. Really?

The chaotic world of contradictory declarations and statements

Let’s look at that thesis from a purely logical point of view. First, what were the Israeli goals initially? As I have explained it elsewhere, initially the Israelis had the following goals:

Bring down a strong secular Arab state along with its political structure, armed forces, and security services.

Create total chaos and horror in Syria justifying the creation of a “security zone” by Israel not only in the Golan but further north.

Trigger a civil war in Lebanon by unleashing the Takfiri crazies against Hezbollah.

Let the Takfiris and Hezbollah bleed each other to death, then create a “security zone”, but this time in Lebanon.

Prevent the creation of a Shia axis Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon.

Break up Syria along ethnic and religious lines.

Create a Kurdistan which could then be used against Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

Make it possible for Israel to become the uncontested power broker in the Middle-East and force the KSA, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and all others to have to go to Israel for any gas or oil pipeline project.

Gradually isolate, threaten, subvert and eventually attack Iran with a wide regional coalition of forces.

Eliminate all centers of Shia power in the Middle-East.

Now let’s stop right here and ask a very simple question: if Putin and Netanyahu were on the same side all along, what should Putin have done to aid the Israelis? I submit that the obvious and indisputable answer is: absolutely nothing. By the time the Russian initiated their (very limited but also very effective) intervention in Syria those plans were well under way towards full realization!

The undeniable truth is that Putin foiled the initial Israel plan for Syria.
