US thought Iran war would hasten Gaza’s demilitarization. Instead, Hamas is emboldened

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
The United States had anticipated that conflict involving Iran would weaken Tehran and reduce its ability to support proxy groups like Hamas. However, Hamas has remained firm in its refusal to disarm and has sought to prolong negotiations. This stance mirrors that of its patron, Iran, which has also aimed to extend talks. Contrary to US expectations, the conflict has not led to Gaza’s demilitarization but has instead encouraged Hamas to maintain its military position.

Scripture: Psalm 33:10-12 (NASB 1977)
"The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance."
Commentary:
Psalm 33 fits a moment where human strategy expected pressure on Iran to translate into proxy disarmament, yet Hamas instead hardens its stance and stretches talks. Plans don’t always land. On the ground, prolonged negotiations often feel like being stuck in place while rockets and tunnels remain. This turmoil is unfolding in Gaza and Israel—land God gave to Israel—so it carries a prophetic weight Scripture treats as unique. These drawn-out alignments and refusals echo biblical patterns of stubborn nations and shifting counsel in the last days.
Prophetic Trend:
Negotiations that stall while armed proxies entrench on Israel’s covenant land reflect a widening pattern of frustrated diplomacy and durable hostile alliances.
