A new realignment in the Middle East:

There is a new realignment in the Middle East but its shape are not yet final or clear.  Al-Arabiyya (the news station of Muhammad bin Salman) hosted Gulen, and the adviser of Erdogan has described that as "hosting of a terrorist".  Turkey's new relations with Iran and Russia may signal a shift but I can't see how Turkey can for many reasons abruptly shift course on Syria.
