It's complicated. On the one hand, everyone - US, EU, the Kurds, Turkiye, Syria and Russia - is united against ISIL. But among them, the US and EU support the Kurds while Turkiye hates them (historical reasons). Even more worryingly for Turkiye, Syria and Russia seem okay with the Kurds. So Turkiye has attacked Kurdish strongholds, raising tensions with everyone else.
