İran-İsrail Siyasi Rekabeti İçin Yeni Hedef Balkan Bölgesi

Balkanlar’da yaşayan aşırı sağ veya sol, organize suç mensupları, milliyetçi protestocular veya aşırı İslamcı gruplar bölgenin güvenliği için tehlikeli bir durum oluşturmaktadır. Bu durum Balkanlar’ı Hizbullah ve İran için cazip bir hedef haline getirirken İsrail güvenlik servislerinin bölgeye yönelik dikkatini artırmak için de bir sebep teşkil etmektedir. İsrail, Hizbullah ve İran’ın çeşitli alanlarda ve de Balkanlar’daki tezahürlerinden endişe duyduğunu görünüyor çünkü bu durum Tel Aviv’in çıkarlarını tehdit etmektedir. İran ve İsrail liderlerinin söylemleri ve stratejik gerçekler arasında bir tutarsızlık mevcut: her birinin diğerine yaptığı yıkım çağrısı, kendisinin de var olma tehdidini oluşturur.

The Balkan Regıon as a New Target for the Iranıan-Israelı Political Rivalry

The Balkans have always had dangerous groups as right-wing or left-wing extremists, organized crime, nationalist protestors, or extremist Islamist groups that pose risks for the area’s security. These conditions that make the Balkans an attractive target for Hezbollah and Iran, are also a cause for increasing the focus of Israeli security services. Israel appears to be concerned about Hezbollah and Iran manifestations in various areas and also in the Balkans. For a complete understanding of the relations and the rivalry between Iran and Israel in the Balkans, all elements should be taken into account. The article argues that there is a discrepancy between the rhetoric of the Iranian and Israeli leaders and the strategic realities: each call for the destruction of the other constitutes also a threat to his own survival.
