Turkey is a key backer of Syria's new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa whose Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) led the rebel coalition which ousted Assad in December.
"Israel is trying to dynamite the December 8 revolution by stirring up ethnic and religious affiliations and turning minorities in Syria against the government," Erdogan told a diplomacy forum in the southern Mediterranean resort of Antalya.
Erdogan's comments come as officials from Turkey and Israel began talks this week aimed at easing tensions over Syria.
Israel has carried out relentless airstrikes and maintained an occupation of Syrian territory, citing the need to keep Syrian forces away from its border.
"Israel is turning into a problematic country that directly threatens the stability of the region, especially with its attacks on Lebanon and Syria," Erdogan said.
He also said Israeli strikes were denting efforts to combat the IS terror group.
