Turkey's FM Calls Israel 'a Burden Humanity Can No Longer Bear'

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan declared the people of Israel 'a burden that humanity can no longer bear,' prompting Israeli FM Gideon Sa'ar to condemn the statement as a clear call for genocide, invoking Holocaust history. Such rhetoric from a major regional power reflects the accelerating global isolation of Israel and the rise of open antisemitism on the world stage — conditions the Bible warns will intensify in the last days. Zechariah 12:3 foretold that all nations would turn against Jerusalem, and passages like Psalm 83 describe a coalition of surrounding peoples calling for Israel's destruction.
