US withdrawal from Syria threatens Israel, Trump opponents say
According to her, this step cleared the way for Turkey, allowing her to invade the territory of the country held by Kurds - US allies in the fight against the so-called “Islamic state” (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation).
- explained Klobushar during the debate.
The Israeli authorities prefer to not comment on Trump’s decision to withdraw the contingent from the northern regions of Syria, although it is clear that the strengthening of Turkey’s position in Syria is not in Israel’s interests.
At the same time, it is not yet clear whether the Pentagon is withdrawing troops from Syria completely or is transferring them to bases in the south of the country. If the second, then here Israel may even win.
Other candidates also condemned Trump's decision, although more radical proposals were made. For example, Tulsi Gabbard, representative of Hawaii, said that US forces should completely leave the Middle East. However, on the whole, a sharply negative attitude dominated. So, Pete Battigig from Indiana and former Vice President Joe Biden expressed the view that the presence of troops is a prerequisite for preventing mass killings and protecting US interests.
