Trump has the chance to stop Erdogan's attacks on US-backed Kurds in Syria again, as he did before: Jack Keane.

Gen. Jack Keane stated on "Life, Liberty & Levin" that President-elect Trump could be the crucial factor in preventing the Turkish destruction of the pro-U.S. Syrian Kurdish community, as reported by Planet Chronicle.

"Erdoğan poses a significant issue in Syria. He has a corridor in the north and supported the radical leader, al-Golani, in deposing Assad, despite our shared desire for Assad's removal. However, now Erdoğan is attacking the Syrian Kurds, whom we support, in eastern Syria."

Erdoğan stopped the issue with President Trump after a phone conversation they had.

Erdoğan is likely to be one of the first people Trump talks to on the phone after being inaugurated, according to Keane.

The Syrian Kurds in eastern Syria are not seeking to seize Turkish territory but rather to ensure ISIS remains defeated and prevent its resurgence, according to him. He stated that the U.S. does not need to take a significant role in Syria beyond protecting its own interests and preventing ISIS from rising again in the region.

Despite the attention of world leaders on the collapse of Bashar Assad's regime in Syria, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey's strongman ruler, has mobilized his government's forces to eliminate Kurdish combatants on his southern border with Syria, who helped the U.S. defeat ISIS.

Alarm bells are ringing about the dire plight of the Syrian Kurds.

Efrat Aviv, a professor in the Department of General History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel and a leading expert on Turkey, warned that if Turkey gets a free rein in Syria, they may covertly commit an ethnic cleansing.

Ahmad al-Sharaa, the leader of the U.S.-designated terrorist movement, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which played a decisive role in toppling Assad's regime, stated that "The Kurds are part of the nation and have suffered great injustices, just as we have. With the regime's fall, the injustice they faced may also be lifted."

Ahmad al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Golani, is now aligned with Turkey. Despite being a banned terrorist organization, the U.S. has recently made contact with HTS, as announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Abdi wrote on X that Kurdish national unity in Syria is crucial in the current phase and urged all Kurdish parties to prioritize dialogue and unity over partisan interests.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stated on X last week that he had previously drafted sanctions against Turkey if they engaged in military operations against the Kurdish forces who helped President Trump destroy ISIS. He is prepared to do so again in a bipartisan manner.

"It is crucial that we prevent the Kurdish forces, who played a vital role in eliminating ISIS under President Trump, from being endangered by Turkey or the extremist groups that have seized control of Syria."

Last week, the Dutch Parliament intervened to safeguard the Syrian Kurds, calling on its government to advocate for an end to Turkish attacks against them.

In response to ongoing attacks by pro-Turkey forces, the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) announced on Sunday that they are facing significant threats and dangers and called for global unity to protect Kobani.

"Kobani and its fighters deserve the world's gratitude, and it is imperative to support them in safeguarding the region's dignity and humanity."

On Sunday in Jordan, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who was previously the head of the country's intelligence service, MIT, stated that Turkey views the Kurdish political and military organizations, Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and The People's Defense Units (YPG), as a threat. Fidan said that over the past decade, the PKK has attempted to exploit the chaos in Syria by restructuring itself within the SDF organization. As a result, Turkey continues to combat PKK/YPG terrorism, targeting them wherever they are.

In order to differentiate the Syrian Kurds from the PKK/YPG terrorist group, he stated that their objective is to support the legitimate representatives of Syrian Kurds in their pursuit of rights in Damascus.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is a Syrian Kurdish organization, is the main U.S.-allied force that contributed to the defeat of ISIS. The U.S. has classified the PKK, a Kurdish militant group in Turkey, as a foreign terrorist organization.

The Turkish government has stepped up its verbal attacks against the Kurds. On Sunday, Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Güler stated, "Our main objective is to disband the PKK/YPG."

Rep. Abraham Hamadeh, R-Ariz., whose parents are Syrian immigrants, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that Turkey's recent airstrikes on Syrian Kurds and reports of Hamas operatives in Turkey highlight the need for mutual respect and shared goals in our alliances. For decades, Turkey has been a strategic partner, but hosting groups like Hamas without clear steps toward dismantling their operations weakens that relationship. Turkey must seize this opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to fighting terror, not enabling it.

The State Department spokesperson stated that they do not preview sanctions when asked by Planet Chronicle Digital if the U.S. was considering imposing them on Turkey.

On Friday, the State Department pointed out comments made by Planet Chronicle Digital earlier that day, following Blinken's meeting with Fidan in Turkey.

In the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS mission in Syria, Secretary Blinken highlighted the significance of U.S.-Turkish cooperation.
