What is Turkey doing in Syria?

Featuring Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocok

Date: September 9, 2026

Time: 12:30 ET

In August 2026, Turkish troops arrived at Syria’s abandoned Abu al-Duhur air base, immediately raising questions about what they were doing there. Negotiations between Syria and Turkey have also quietly taken place over the Tiyas Air Base, (also known as T4), which may be used for air defense systems. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been hosting Hamas figures in Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey. Are the Turks eager to dismantle Hamas? Will Turkey end up being a major new headquarters for Hamas? Do we remember that in October of 2011, 1,027 Hamas terrorists were traded for Gilad Shalit, many of whom ended up in Turkey? Are the Turks on the right side or the wrong side of history?
