In a meeting that highlights Turkey’s deepening alliance with Hamas, Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin warmly welcomed senior Hamas officials to Istanbul this week. According to Reuters, Kalin met with Hamas politburo leader Khalil Al-Khayya to discuss “the next stage” of the current ceasefire, including strategies for continued “resistance” against Israel and the rebuilding of Gaza’s infrastructure. The gathering reflects Turkey’s ongoing support for Hamas—a group recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, and Israel—despite its brutal October 7 attacks on Israeli civilians. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has consistently defended Hamas, calling them “mujahideen” rather than terrorists and labeling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “blood-sucking vampire.”

This warming relationship between Turkey and Hamas is more than diplomatic posturing—it aligns with the prophetic coalition described in Ezekiel 38. Turkey, historically identified with “Togarmah,” is foretold to join forces with nations hostile to Israel in the last days. As Erdoğan isolates his nation from Western allies and embraces Islamist groups, we witness the geopolitical pieces of the Ezekiel war puzzle moving into place. The stage is being set for the fulfillment of prophecy, reminding believers that the God of Israel still rules over the affairs of men.
