"And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee." — Ezekiel 38:1-6

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Saturday recalled Israeli diplomatic representatives from Turkey “in order to conduct a reassessment of Israel-Turkey relations,” in a statement he made on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Cohen made this statement shortly after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan repeated his assertion that Hamas was not a terrorist organization and described Israel as an occupier.
Erdogan made this address at one of the largest pro-Palestinian rallies, which took place in Istanbul since the Israel-Hamas war began. Erdogan called called the terrorist group “freedom fighters” this week.
Israeli officials’ responses
National Unity Party MK Gideon Sa’ar posted that “Erdogan is the same Erdogan and it is obligatory to present him as he is: a patron of Hamas, an instigator, a definite Israel hater, and one of the greatest antisemites of our generation.
“He will always try to gain legitimacy when he is in need and join our enemies when we are in need,” he continued. “I suggested to Foreign Minister Cohen to recall Israel’s ambassador to Turkey for consultations and I welcome his decision.”
