Ankara's top diplomat has been stressing the need for a peaceful resolution to prevail, as the multifront war continues to inflict devastation across the region.
A well-informed source in Ankara, underlining these points, shed light on Turkey's main concern: while Washington has signalled a willingness to explore avenues toward de-escalation, Tel Aviv is in no hurry to halt hostilities.
"It is obvious that they aim to achieve significant territorial gains in Lebanon. At the same time, their endgame in Iran remains regime change," the source stressed.
According to the source, under these circumstances, the prospects for ending the conflict largely depend on the faction within Washington that opposes the continuation of the war.
"There is also an interesting development ongoing in Washington," the source noted, pointing to a growing rift within the close circle of US President Donald Trump.
"There are two camps. One camp agrees with Netanyahu. For them, the only solution is the Iranian regime's collapse and the securement of the country's oil and gas fields," the source explained.
"But there is also another camp — we can call them neorealists. Although they recognise the importance of weakening Tehran's position, they understand that there is no other choice than diplomacy and some kind of agreement regarding the nuclear issue and the other thorny issues."
Turkey's diplomatic offensive comes at a critical juncture, as the outcome of the internal debate in Washington is expected to shape the trajectory of the conflict in the weeks ahead.
