Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan declared Israel has 'become a burden that humanity can no longer bear,' prompting Israeli officials and analysts to condemn the language as genocidal dehumanisation — among the vilest rhetoric from any statesman since the Holocaust. The rising tide of state-sanctioned antisemitism from a NATO member mirrors the ancient pattern of nations aligning against Israel, a convergence Scripture identifies as a defining feature of the last days. Zechariah 12:3 warns that all nations will be gathered against Jerusalem, and the isolation and demonisation of Israel on the world stage is a clear marker of that prophetic trajectory.
