Scripture: Proverbs 21:1 (NASB 1977)
"The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes."

Short ceasefires and great-power mediation are multiplying, but strategic chokepoints remain contested, keeping regional stability brittle and easily reversible.
