BERLIN — NATO’s secretary-general says the alliance wouldn’t come to Israel’s defense in case of attack by arch enemy Iran. Jens Stoltenberg told the magazine Der Spiegel in comments published Saturday that Israel is a partner, but not a member and that NATO’s “security guarantee” doesn’t apply to Israel. Stoltenberg says NATO isn’t involved in Mideast peace efforts or in conflicts in the region. He spoke at a time of rising Israel-Iran tensions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently intensified his criticism of a 2015 agreement between world powers and Iran that offered Tehran sanctions relief for curbs on its nuclear program. The U.S. withdrew from the deal last month. Israel and Iran have also clashed militarily over Iran’s military presence in Syria.

We already range too far in members and territory nowhere near the North Atlantic. Turkey is also quite problematic. They have a good military but they are going Islamist. NATO's EU members won't even defend Europe. Adding the Mideast to their range of operations would be ridiculous.
