This marks the first time a former Israeli PM has publicly acknowledged losing support from the American religious-right/MAGA base - a constituency that has been unwavering in its support for decades. The characterization of Israel as a 'leper state' by its own former leader, combined with the unprecedented fracturing of evangelical support, signals a dramatic shift in prophesied end-times alliances.
Ex-PM Bennett: Israel Now 'Leper State' as MAGA Support Crumbles
📰 What Happened
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has issued a stark warning about Israel's deteriorating international standing, particularly in the US. Bennett criticized Netanyahu's government for turning Israel into 'a leper state' and noted that even traditional allies, including the MAGA movement, are distancing themselves. He highlighted the Gaza starvation crisis, where 180 Palestinians including 93 children have died from malnutrition, as damaging Israel's reputation. Bennett specifically warned that Israel is increasingly seen as 'a burden' to Americans.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Bennett's revelation about MAGA movement withdrawal aligns with prophecies of Israel's increasing isolation before the Tribulation. The specific mention of 180 Palestinian deaths from starvation connects to Zechariah 14:2's prediction of Jerusalem's siege conditions. The term 'leper state' eerily echoes Zechariah 12:3's prophecy of Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone' to all nations. This internal criticism from Israel's own leadership, combined with the fracturing of traditionally unshakeable evangelical support, suggests we're entering the prophesied period where Israel stands completely alone before divine intervention.
