Joe Kent: Trump Wants to Leave NATO to Prepare for Possible Conflict Between Israel and Turkey

Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, criticizes Donald Trump's foreign policy, stating that the U.S. withdrawal from NATO would allow support for Israel against Turkey. Kent also mentions Washington's responsibility in destabilizing Syria. His resignation on March 17, 2026, was the first by a senior official in the Trump administration due to the war against Iran, which he believes was influenced by the Israeli lobby.
