Palestinian Officials Say Oct. 7 Was Israeli ‘Plot’ to Control the Entire Middle East

Summary:
During the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas, the Palestinian Authority (PA) disseminated claims suggesting the massacre either did not occur or was orchestrated by Israel to gain control over the Middle East. PA leader Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash reiterated these allegations, stating some Palestinians believe Israel provoked Hamas to justify actions aimed at dominating the region. Fatah spokesman Abd Al-Fattah Doleh and a columnist in the official PA daily have also portrayed Israel and its leaders as regional threats, accusing them of allowing Hamas to grow militarily to undermine Palestinian statehood. These narratives absolve Palestinians of responsibility for the killing of over 1,100 Israelis and foreigners on that day while framing Israel as an existential danger to both the PA and the wider region.

Scripture: Isaiah 5:20-21 (NASB 1977)
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And clever in their own sight!"
Commentary:
Isaiah’s warning fits a moment when public voices try to invert moral reality and shift blame for mass bloodshed. That is not harmless rhetoric. On the ground, people repeat these claims at cafés, on TV, and across social feeds, and it hardens hearts against truth. This turmoil is happening on land God gave to Israel, giving these events a prophetic weight Scripture treats as unique. Such narrative warfare mirrors the end-times pattern of deception and lawlessness spreading alongside conflict.
Prophetic Trend:
Narratives that recast violence as virtue are rising around Israel’s covenant land, normalizing deception as a strategic tool in regional conflict.

Photo: REUTERS/Ronen Zvulun During the Oct. 7 war, the Palestinian Authority (PA) spread different libels about Israel, ranging from claims that the massacre did not happen at all, to lies that Israel wanted the war and even planned it in advance as a way to gain control over the entire Middle East. This libel is still alive and well. It not only whitewashes Palestinians of any responsibility for their massacre and murder of over 1,100 Israelis and foreigners in one day but also cements the PA’s narrative of victimhood that casts Israel in the role of existential danger that threatens not only the PA, but the entire region. PA leader Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, has adamantly promoted this PA narrative, and did so again recently: PA Chairman Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “Some people even speculate that Oct. 7 was an Israeli plot. Some say this, even in the Palestinian street. They say that Israel dragge...
