✅ What Research and Muslim-Orthodox Arguments Say
A survey found that about 89.4% of citizens in Turkey believe that “Israel has a big plan to occupy or control some part of Turkey.”
In Turkish political parlance, a concept reminiscent of the “Treaty of Sèvres” is prevalent — a mentality or mentality (‘Sèvres syndrome’) in which it is believed that external forces are repeatedly working to weaken and divide Turkey.
One analysis suggests that the Turkish government is using this mentality politically: for example, the Israeli-violent plan is being brought up in discussions of "preserving the existence of the state" (Turkish: beka siyasetı) to shape public opinion.
But is there any real evidence?
According to the research, although such beliefs are strong among Turkish public opinion, no credible, independent source has found that the Israeli government has any “official plans for division” against Turkey.
Türkiye and Israel—although they have several political and diplomatic problems—have not always engaged in armed conflict, and the two also have economic and commercial ties.
So, to say that “Israel is planning to divide Turkey” — this claim is not proven, but rather an opportunistic geopolitical fear or morale-driven idea that is present in Turkish political and social discourse.
Opinions of various experts
This idea is largely based on Turkey's internal political environment and history: such as memories of the Treaty of Sèvres, national security concerns, internal divisions (for example: the Qandil issue, the Kurdish region, the migrant issue), etc.
Both Turkey and Israel are in difficult diplomatic positions in the Middle East, but there has been no evidence so far of a premeditated, planned operation under Bashar for the purpose of direct “partition.”
That said, such ideas can be used in political rhetoric (quote speeches), to divide public opinion, or to present internal problems from the perspective of an external enemy.
