For about ten years now I have been suggesting that Erdogan, Turkey's President, longed to be the Caliph of a new Ottoman Empire. Nothing in the past ten years has occurred that would cause me to abandon that theory.
Also, I have suggested that the Apocalypse was rapidly approaching when Israel will be invaded mostly by people from the north. Most believe the prophecies indicate that Russia will lead the invasion, and it may well be true. On the other hand, some suspect that Turkey will lead the invasion with forces from many other Muslim countries.
As Erdogan ages, he is running out of time to make his dream come true, and now he appears to be looking for an excuse to invade Israel.
‘Turkey can invade and conquer Israel,’
threatens Erdogan
“There is no reason” why Turkey can’t physically invade Israel,
says antisemitic leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Turkey could invade Israel in order to stop Jerusalem’s military campaign against Hamas, claimed Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in an unprecedented statement on Sunday.
“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these…things to Palestine,” Erodgan said at a meeting of his AK party held in Rize, Turkey.
“Just like we entered Karabakh [Azerbaijan], just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them,” Erdogan said in the televised discussion.
“There is no reason why we cannot do this … We must be strong so that we can take these steps.”0:10
Late Sunday evening, Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to Erdogan’s comments.
“Erdogan is following in the footsteps of [Iraqi despot] Saddam Hussein by threatening to attack Israel,” wrote Katz on social media platform X.
“He should remember how that turned out and how it ended.”
But rather than turn down the flames, Erdogan released an additional fiery statement just hours after the threat, which equated the Israeli premier with Adolf Hitler.
“Just as the genocidal Hitler met his end, so will the genocidal Netanyahu,” read an official media release from Erdogan’s office.
“Those who tried to eliminate the Palestinians will be held accountable, just like the genocidal Nazis. Humanity will stand with the Palestinians. You will not be able to eliminate the Palestinians.”
Erdogan has a long history of making antisemitic incendiary remarks about the Jewish State, though the threat to invade Israel marks a new low in relations between Jerusalem and Ankara.
“Israel is not just a threat to Gaza but to all of humanity,” Erdogan said in May 2024, adding “no state is safe unless Israel is made to abide by international law.”
“Zionism is being unmasked all over the world. Young people are beginning to see how Zionism is an unlawful perversion, and I hope this revolution will free the world from the Zionist perversion.”
