On Tuesday's program, Berkovic referenced a joke he'd heard on social media comparing Israel's ongoing wars to a football tournament. The joke said that Israel had "beat Hamas on penalties" in the quarter finals, defeated Iran in the semi-finals, and would face Turkey in the finals next. While the comment was made jokingly, it does reflect growing tension between Israel and Turkey over Syria, where Israel has sought to occupy land and disarm residents in the country's south. Other analysts have noted that Turkey may be tempted to develop a nuclear program as a defensive measure amid Israel's all-out attack on Iran Thu, 09 Apr 2026 08:03:26 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/a003191c-d60c-4ae7-b5d3-f8f68d20438b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
