PM Netanyahu used this map during his recent security speech. Kurds in Iraq and Syria are considered neutral/friendly and Israel views the Kurds this way too. The is the right message and it makes total sense. Kurds are trapped in these countries through no fault of their own, they hold different views towards Israel and shouldn’t be tied to the policies of the central governments of these countries. Had Kurds in Turkey and Iran had a degree of autonomy, they too would be considered neutral/friendly by Israel—Kurds are not Arabs, Turks or Fars.
