Recently I have spent quite a bit of time here discussing Turkey and its increasing hostility toward Israel. I have more news to report on that front. Not that this is a surprise, but Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has met with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to encourage him in the Palestinian bid for statehood next week before the U.N.
I have linked an article about this below, but I want to highlight this quote:
On Tuesday, during a speech before the Arab League, Erdogan emphasized that the recognition of a Palestinian state was “not an option but an obligation.”
Couple that quote with the other article that I have linked below which states Russia has stated its intention to support the Palestinian bid for statehood next week, and it presents an interesting set of circumstances.
Ezekiel 38-39 tells us that something will cause the nations of the Gog-Magog coalition, of which Russia and Turkey are a major part, to attack Israel. Biblical scholars have long debated what it would be that would be the "hook in the jaw" the passage speaks of. Many have speculated oil, some have said food, and others have thought it was just a hatred of the Jews. Could the issue of Palestinian statehood be the triggering issue to bring about the invasion?
