Speculation

Origins

E-CTS6667, is likely (based on descendants and neighbouring branches) of Middle Eastern Origin, and expanded to other areas through later migrations.

A potential origin could be of Bronze Age Southern Levantine ancestry (based on Jewish, Palestinian and Syrian Branches).

A point in favour of this is that Jewish branches seem to converge quite far back (FGC2185 - c.2250BC and CTS6667 - c.2650BC) and seem to be mixed among different populations of the Jewish Diaspora, which could indicate a pre-Diaspora Levantine ancestor.

It is possible that the spread from the Levant to other locations could be explained through early Jewish Diaspora assimilation or general migration and assimilation from Levantine groups.
It is likely that Latin American branches, could be explained by later converts from Sephardic Jewry (this can be seen with example CTS9507 > FT301000, where CTS9507 has Moroccan-Jewish descendants, while also having Latin-American and Spanish descendants)

It is important to note, however, that Jews are vastly overrepresented in Y-DNA testing, and many populations that CTS6667 would be prominent in, remain largely untested.

A new piece of information to note is that the oldest E-CTS3346 individual is found is of ALA136 in Tell Atchana (Alalakh), Hatay, Turkey, c. 2000BC.

"the inhabitants of Alalakh were a mixture of Chalcolithic Levantines and Mesopotamians, and were genetically similar to contemporaneous Levantines from Ebla and Sidon."
