For years, many in the West dismissed Turkey's threats as political theater. But what if they're making the same mistake they made before October 7?
In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Eitan Fischberger, OSINT investigator and author of The Fisch Files, about Turkey's increasingly hostile posture toward Israel, its growing influence inside NATO, and the sophisticated information operations shaping Western public opinion. They examine whether Ankara is exploiting its position inside the Western alliance while advancing an agenda fundamentally at odds with it—and why policymakers may be underestimating the strategic consequences.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Â How Turkish state-linked influence networks quietly shape Western discourse online.Â
-  Why Erdogan's rhetoric toward Israel has become increasingly eliminationist—and why it deserves to be taken seriously.Â
- Â Whether Turkey is acting as a Trojan horse inside NATO while deepening ties to Hamas, Russia, and the Muslim Brotherhood.Â
- Â Why weakening Israel ultimately weakens the broader Western alliance.Â
The debate over Turkey is no longer just about one country's foreign policy. It is about whether democratic alliances can recognize ideological threats before they become strategic ones. If Western governments ignore hostile rhetoric because it comes from an ally rather than an adversary, they risk repeating dangerous mistakes.
🎯 Key moment:
"Turkey plays this inside-outside game where they like to pretend that they're friends of the West and friends of NATO... but in reality, that just sort of masks their actual agenda, which is something else entirely, and I would argue anti-Western and anti-American in particular."
