Senators: Turkey's anti-Israel plot will fizzle in the Middle East

Key senators are predicting that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plan to generate Islamic hostility toward Israel will fail, in part because countries in the Middle East still see Iran as a greater threat to guard against.

“[The Islamic world] is a lot more fragmented,” Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, told the Washington Examiner. “You have those like Israel and Saudi Arabia who found common cause on what they consider the greater threat.”
