00:00And Israel's aggressions and invasions against Syria are also attracting attention in Turquie.
00:06Experts declare that the Syrian state is pursuing a plan to establish a so-called David's Corridor.
00:11Details from a correspondent, Juno Suner.
00:14With its regional aggression, including the most recent siege against Syria, Israel is increasing its territory,
00:23explains Sihab Yaiki, retired naval forces arminal and chairman of the Turkish Maritime Research and Global Strategy Center.
00:33Seven 500 square kilometers are currently under idrally control in Syria.
00:37The total area of Israel is 22 zero square kilometers.
00:41Israel has grown 30 of its territory.
00:45The admiral explains that the occupation is part of a larger plan, the so-called David's Corridor,
00:51in reference to the biblical figure.
00:56The David Corridor will connect Irel to eastern and northern Syria and later to Iraq.
01:03This part is occupied by terrorists who are supported by the United States and Israel.
01:08In the center here are the Druze groups under United States control.
01:12And this is the part occupied by Irel after the fall of Assad.
01:15The Corridor is not Israel's declared official policy, says Fari Arenal, former Brigadier General of the Turkish Armed Forces.
01:29Rather, it is the conclusion of le-level statements by the Israeli state, but within a grand concept.
01:35This corridor has a religious significance for Irel, it is the promised lands, covering the territory from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq.
01:49Under religious ideology, Israel pursues very specific objectives.
01:53The military and security objective is to have a line from Lebanon to Iraq, cutting off Iran's connection to the region.
02:04In addition, oil in the autonomous region of Kurdistan in Iraq can be transported through this corridor to the port of Haifa.
02:12Natural gas fields are also found in Deir is Zor, Raqqa and Haseqa.
02:16And southern Syria is the region with the largest water reserves.
02:19In the middle of the corridor is the United States military base, Al-Tanf, where, according to Arenal, 3,000 Syrians were recently trained,
02:34while the forces of the de facto government in Syria are forbidden to enter areas of the corridor.
02:40Both experts say that Israel wants a weak central government and local authorities under its control.
02:45If the plan is carried out, it will have effects for the Turkish people.
02:49De facto, Israel becomes a neighbor of the Turkish people.
02:55Even though the name of this place is not Israel, we know that it is actually Israel.
02:59This is Unistan.
03:00Both experts propose that, in order to break this corridor,
03:07the Turkish army should conduct a military offensive against its northeast,
03:11together with the central Syrian government.
03:13But given the military and political weakness of Damascus, they do not hold out much hope.
