Western heads of state and government have declared that they would recognise a "Palestinian" state, whatever that may mean.
We assume that this will be implemented at the annual UN General Assembly in Sep, regardless of what Israel does. But where are today's prophets who warn these heads of state and government that their threats are actually directed against G-d and His covenant promises and therefore make Him extremely angry
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, (also known as Edom, a region south of Judea. It represents all the enemies of G-d and His people)
and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. Isa 34:1-8
From most Western countries, we hear only silence! Israel, however, has courageously rejected these threats openly, and we pray that this will continue.
Anyone who recognises "Palestine" now is sending a clear message to terrorists: massacre people, don't release hostages, and you will be rewarded with a state!
The recent announcements by France, Britain, Canada and Australia have emboldened the Iranian-backed "Palestinian" terrorist organisation Hamas.
Hamas' initial response to the announcements of possible state recognition was:

The recognition of the State of Palestine with full sovereignty is the fruit of our people's continuous struggle and an expression of respect for the rules of international law.
with the terrorist organisation viewing the statements by the heads of state and government of France, Great Britain, Canada and Australia as a direct consequence of its massacre on 7 Oct 2023.
Instead of putting pressure on Hamas to release the hostages, lay down its arms and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip, Western leaders have sent a message to the terrorist organisation that attacking Israel will lead to the creation of a "Palestinian" state, which will undoubtedly be ruled by Iranian-backed jihadists.
With their approach, European government representatives have not only made any negotiations impossible, but have also indirectly conveyed to Hamas that its attack on southern Israel and the kidnapping of its citizens would be rewarded with statehood.
Hamas leaders can only conclude that their refusal to release the hostages was the right move. As senior Hamas representative Bassem Naim wrote:

Based on my monitoring of the international scene, what is happening today around the world is not merely a campaign of solidarity — it is a true global revolution in support of Palestinian rights: for freedom and the right to determine our destiny. It surpasses the borders of the great city that is creating miracles and laying the foundation for future glory — Gaza. I do not believe there has ever been a city or cause in human history that has achieved such unanimous and unwavering global support for victory, despite all differences in religion, race, and language, as Gaza and Palestine have.
The road ahead is long, difficult, painful, and costly, but it is honorable and precious. We are moving in the right direction — toward victory and liberation — and the steps are closer than we expect. Our enemy and its allies know this very well.
G-d Almighty will grant us victory, and when He gives, He gives with honor. And in that moment, all who played a role in this glorious epic will be proud — proud of their contribution to the history of our people and our cause.

In a joint statement issued by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Sai'qa forces, terrorist organizations that do not recognize Israel's right to exist and vehemently reject the so-called two-state solution, it states:
Welcoming any international effort that supports the Palestinian people and their rights, and demanding unconditional recognition of the Palestinian state and the rights of its people as a political entitlement and historical justice.
These terrorist organizations have repeatedly emphasized that they will never lay down their arms or recognize Israel's right to exist. They have also repeatedly vowed to continue their jihad against Israel until it is destroyed. Despite their rejection of the two-state solution, "Palestinian" terrorists are nevertheless willing to accept any land Israel gives them in order to use it as a springboard for the destruction of Israel.
In 2017, Hamas published a
policy paper confirming this approach. In it, the terrorist organization made it clear that it would not reject the establishment of a "Palestinian" state in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, but emphasized that this did not mean recognizing Israel's right to exist:
Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of Jun 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus.
The paper was mistakenly interpreted by some in the West as a sign of pragmatism, moderation, and acceptance of the two-state solution on the part of the terrorist organization. This is incorrect. Hamas is pretending to support a "Palestinian" state alongside Israel as part of a campaign to deceive and mislead the world in order to be accepted as a legitimate player in the "Palestinian" arena. In reality, the organization clearly states that such a state should be used for
the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.
The same document unequivocally states that they will continue their jihad against Israel even after the establishment of a "Palestinian" state:
Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws and by international norms and laws. At the heart of these lies armed resistance, which is regarded as the strategic choice for protecting the principles and the rights of the Palestinian people.
Eran Lerman, senior research fellow at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, noted
There are no signs of ‘moderation’ here, even though Hamas describes Islam as a religion of the middle way and moderation,...
The document aggressively reiterates the familiar themes of Hamas ideology; Palestine is indivisible in its entirety, and the rights of the Palestinian people are eternal and inalienable. No facts created by the Zionist project may remain.
This is certainly not the right time to talk about a unbiblical two-state solution, as jihadists and terrorists see it as a reward for their atrocities against Israel. It is more important to focus on dismantling and destroying all "Palestinian" terrorist groups and to initiate a process of deradicalisation of the "Palestinians" and their voluntary resettlement in Arab states.
Israel 22,072 km² - Morocco 446,550 km², Algeria 2,382,000 km², Mauritania 1,031,000 km², Tunisia 163,610 km²,
Libya 1,760,000 km², Egypt 1,002,000 km², Sudan 1,886,000 km², Syria 185,180 km², Iraq 438,314 km²,
Jordan 89,342 km², Saudi Arabia 2,150,000 km², Yemen 527,968 km², Somalia 637,657, Kuwait 17,818 km²,
Bahrain 786.8 km², Qatar 11,581 km², United Arab Emirates 83,600 km², Oman 309,500 km²
Under the current circumstances, declarations recognising a "Palestinian" state send the message to "Palestinians" that terrorism and violence are the best way to gain international support for their own state... and everything else.
In the Torah, Moses mentions more than 80 times that Israel must possess the entire land on forever west of the Jordan River, which G-d has promised to them
For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your G-d giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. Deu 11:31
That is why we pray persistently to Him that He will fulfil His Word (Jeremiah 1:12) and firmly anchor the truth of His gift of His land to His people Israel in the minds and hearts of the Jews, wherever they may currently live.
May the world's attention on Gaza accelerate the expansion of Israeli sovereignty.
