According to the report, the channel is intended to reduce misunderstandings and prevent potential military clashes between the sides. Last week, the Israeli Air Force attacked military targets in Syria - including bases in the Hama region and the T4 base where, according to reports, Turkey plans to deploy its forces in the near future.

Two Western sources told MEE that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his associates that there was a limited window of opportunity to attack the T4 base before Turkey deploys its assets there. They claim that once Turkey is permanently at the base, Israel will refrain from attacking due to regional sensitivity and Turkish involvement.

The report noted that "a separate source familiar with the tensions between Turkey and Israel confirmed that the two countries have been negotiating to establish a mechanism to prevent conflict since the recent Israeli attacks." The same source claims that "both Israeli and Turkish officials issued similar statements that day, in which they made it clear that they have no intention of entering into a mutual conflict in Syria. This appears to be coordinated."

A separate report on the website claims that Netanyahu is working with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an attempt to convince him to prevent the sale of F-35 aircraft to Turkey, amid concerns about Ankara's growing influence in Syria.

At a press conference held yesterday at the White House, Trump said that he could solve Israel's problems with Turkey. "I told the Prime Minister: Bibi, if you have a problem with Turkey, I really think I can solve it. I have a very good relationship with Turkey and its leader - and I think we can solve anything."
