Hoooo boy. He’s legitimately trying to turn this into a holy war for Israelis. This is going to get messy (well, messier than it is already).
Invoking Christian text too. That way he can unify the Christian right on the side of Israel.
Bro, the Book of Isaiah is not a «Christian text». It is part of the Torah, the Old Testament. In fact, it's canon for Muslims too.

Can you explain a little bit more? So the old testament is relevant to all three religion and two hate each other. sounds interesting.
Judaism, Christianity, Islam and a few other religions (Rastafarianism for example) are part of the same family of religions, called "Abrahamic Religions": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions In Islam, "Allah" literally means "God". It's the same God that Jews and Christians believe in. Arab Christians call God "Allah".
When it comes to the bible itself, "the Quran mentions the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel as being revealed by God in the same way the Quran was revealed to Muhammad" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_the_Bible
The old testaments in the bible the christians use, are based on the hebrew bible (tanakh). The new testament is mostly christian writings
The article pointed out he referenced language in the gospel of Luke to describe his side as people of light. Though I wonder if that text was a reference to something in Hebrew literature.
