This marks the first time Turkey and Saudi Arabia have openly aligned with a government formed from an al-Qaeda affiliate (HTS), representing an unprecedented Sunni coalition. The $4BN Saudi investment into an extremist-led Syria shows a dramatic shift from traditional Sunni-Shiite dynamics and creates a new power configuration not seen in previous Middle East realignments.

📰 What Happened
In a significant Middle East realignment, Turkey's Defense Ministry announced military support for Syria's new government led by President al-Sharaa and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), following Assad's December 8 departure. Saudi Arabia has pledged $4 billion in investment. Turkey claims the assistance comes at Damascus's request for 'training, consulting, and technical assistance.' This development follows revelations that Turkey previously maintained a 'jihadi highway' during Syria's proxy war that facilitated ISIS's rise.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The formation of this Turkey-Saudi-HTS alliance creates a critical timeline marker in Ezekiel 38's northern confederation. Turkey's military commitment to Syria, combined with Saudi Arabia's $4BN investment, positions these nations exactly as prophesied - unified against Israel despite their historical differences. The rise of al-Sharaa's HTS regime in Damascus, replacing Assad's Iran-aligned government, shifts Syria from the Persian to Turkish sphere of influence. This aligns with prophecies of Damascus's role in end-time conflicts and sets the stage for the Ezekiel 38 northern invasion route.
