In this episode, Israel Today’s Ryan Jones examines why more Israelis are beginning to view Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a serious long-term threat.
The concern is not that Israel is unaware of the danger. The deeper problem is that Israel is exhausted after the longest continuous war in its modern history. Built for short, decisive conflicts, Israel is now stretched by Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, internal political strain, economic pressure and the prolonged burden on reservists and their families.
Meanwhile, Turkey is playing a longer game. Erdogan’s government has become increasingly hostile toward Israel. Turkey does not need an immediate military confrontation to become dangerous. Its threat lies in what it is building quietly while Israel is forced to manage too many fronts at once.
The episode also highlights a growing gap between Israeli and Western perceptions. While Israelis increasingly see Erdogan as a problem, Washington and NATO continue to treat Turkey as an indispensable ally.
Watch the full episode below for the complete analysis.
Turkey is involved in the Ezekiel 38, 39 war according to scripture. Israel is in dire need to take time now for a day or more of true fasting and praying to The God of Israel. He has not brushed it off in the past and would not brush it off now. But Israel needs to truly seek the Lord with all its might.
Israel, in its weakness should not ignore something that the Lord has honored in the past when done right. The Lord is the only real help Israel needs, but until He is called on, He can wait, it is up to Israel to make the call.
