Watan-Blinken’s license plate has caused a commotion, and America’s “Greater Middle East” project, which involves dividing the region into smaller ethnic states, may have been intentionally chosen by the United States to convey political messages, sparking controversy across various platforms.
Turkish journalist and politician Mehmet Canbekli commented that the license plate is particularly surprising, especially during the war in Gaza and plans for the displacement of its residents to Sinai and the West Bank, starting with Israel’s grand project and the Greater Middle East.

I don’t know why we exaggerate its capabilities. It’s as if it can do everything!”
