Peloni: Mike Doran, in a conversation with Dan Diker, discusses how the Biden administration structured their response to October 7 to revitalize the Two State Solution(TSS) to block the Right wing govt while also maintaining the administration’s momentum towards their Iranian Pivot away and from Israel. Doran goes on to explain that the TSS is simply not going to happen due to Israeli and American interests and Israeli public shift against the TSS. Doran asserts that the Turks and the Israelis will come to a “quiet accommodation” based on the major security interests of the two nations, while still having significant disagreements on issues such as Gaza and the Palestinians. It is his suggestion that the US should facilitate the cooperation of Turkey and Israel, despite these differences. Despite Erdogan’s very recent call for retaking Jerusalem, Doran explains that Turkey is not looking for a fight with Israel, that it balances threats from the Balkans, Iran, Russia, the Caucuses and the Middle East, all at once resulting in the Turkish military maintaining a very cautious perspective. Despite this view, it should be recalled that among all of these threats being balanced by the Turks, Iran was among the most overt and tangible, and with the Mullah’s hopefully soon to be extinction, this would result in a power vacuum in the Middle East which the Turks will certainly try to fill, just as they did in Syria after the Israelis decimated Hezbollah. Such a possible eventuality would be a grave threat to Israel, as Turkey heads the radical Sunni Axis, which is far less objectionable to the Sunni nations of the region than the radical Shia Axis which Iran heads.

Could he be hoping for kind of Minsk Accords or the deal between the IRA and Northern Ireland negotiated by Trump?
” Deportations of Kurds (1916–1934)
The deportations of Kurds by Turkey refers to the population transfer of hundreds of thousands of Kurds from Turkish Kurdistan that was perpetuated by the Ottoman Empire and its successor Turkey in order to Turkify the region. Most of the Kurds who were deported were forced to leave their autochthonous lands, but the deportations also included the forced sedentarization of Kurdish tribes.[1][2] Turkish historian ?smail Be?ikçi emphasized the influence of fascism on these policies, and Italian historian Giulio Sappeli argued: “The ideals of Kemal Atatürk meant that war against the Kurds was always seen as an historical mission aimed at affirming the superiority of being Turkish.”[3] Occurring just after the Armenian genocide, many Kurds believed that they would share the same fate as the Armenians.[4] Historians Dominik J. Schaller and Jürgen Zimmerer state that this event “not only serves as a reminder of the unsettling fact that victims could become perpetrators, but also that perpetrators [as some Kurds were during the Armenian and Assyrian Genocides] could turn victims”.[5]
