Comment from UTT:
It is interesting to note that the President of Turkey is the person who is leading the charge to organize resistance against Israel by rallying other Islamic nations. For years, Bible scholars have pointed out that Turkey would play a major role in coming against Israel along with Iran and Russia. Perhaps the recent announcement by Trump to declare Jerusalem as capital of Israel will be the catalyst that brings this about.

Turkey's leader is seeking to spearhead Islamic reaction to the US declaration on Jerusalem, but it is uncertain if he can coordinate a meaningful response among often disunited Muslim nations.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who regards himself as a champion of the Palestinian cause, had fulminated against President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital even before it was officially announced this week. Erdogan described the status of the city, whose eastern sector Palestinians see as the capital of their future state, as a "red line" for Muslims. With Trump disregarding such warnings, the Turkish president used his position as the current chairman of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to call a summit of the pan-Islamic group.
