Pravin Sawhney warns Turkey-Israel conflict could challenge NATO's unity

by@MarioNawfal

Summary

Pravin Sawhney contends that a potential conflict between Turkey and Israel could reveal significant vulnerabilities within NATO, particularly if the United States, under President Donald Trump, chooses not to support Turkey in such a scenario. He argues that while NATO embodies a collective defense principle, the changing dynamics in West Asia, influenced by China and Russia's push for a different model based on negotiation and sovereignty, pose challenges to this framework. Recent alliances, such as the joint defense agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, underscore a shift toward collective security based on UN principles, contrasting with NATO's traditional approach.
