U.S. scrambling to prevent Israel-Turkey ties from worsening

Prophecy Sign: Turkey will align itself with several other nations in a war against Israel. This war is know as Gog/Magog

For many years Turkish/Israeli relations were quite good. This was mostly the case when Turkey was under secular rule. However relations have since cooled greatly under the current Turkish leadership of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan. Erdogan leads a political party that has it's roots in the Islamic movement, which has moved Turkey away from it's secular beginnings established by Turkeys first president, Mustafa Ataturk.

This change should be of no surprise to those that study bible prophecy, as the prophet Ezekiel told us many centuries ago that Turkey, (Beth Togarmah in Ezekiel s words), would join together with several other Muslim nations, along with present day Russia, in a full-scale attack on the Jewish nation of Israel.Persia, Cush[c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. Ezekiel 38:5 NIV

From the article:

The Obama administration is very concerned about the tensions between Israel and Turkey continuing and possibly worsening. The Americans, who realized that talks between Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Turkish Foreign Ministry Under-Secretary Ambassador Feridun Sinirioglu have not resulted in sufficient progress for an agreement, pushed the UN Secretary General to give the two sides more time. The Turkish representative on the UN committee investigating the flotilla incident, Ozdem Sanberk, said in an interview published Monday in Today's Zaman that there was great political will in Turkey and Israel to bring the crisis to an end, noting, however, that the key was an Israeli apology for killing nine Turkish citizens.
