The unprecedented 664-day duration of this Gaza conflict, combined with the suicide of an IDF reservist after extended deployment and the 20-year commemoration of Gaza withdrawal, creates a unique convergence of military, psychological, and historical factors not seen in previous Israel-Gaza conflicts. The US visa restrictions on PA/PLO officials marks a diplomatic escalation that further isolates Palestinian leadership.
Gaza War Day 664: 100+ Dead as Netanyahu Meets Witkoff in Jerusalem
📰 What Happened
Over 100 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza as the conflict enters its 664th day. PM Netanyahu met with US Mideast envoy Witkoff in Jerusalem while the US announced visa blocks for PA and PLO officials citing terrorism support. An IDF reservist died by suicide after 300 days of service. Right-wing protesters gathered at the Gaza border marking 20 years since Israel's withdrawal, while aid deliveries continue amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 664-day sustained conflict represents an intensification of Zechariah's prophecy about Jerusalem being a 'cup of trembling.' The simultaneous occurrence of right-wing protests at Gaza's border on the 20th anniversary of withdrawal, US diplomatic isolation of Palestinian leadership, and humanitarian crisis creates multiple pressure points affecting Jerusalem's status. The death of the IDF reservist after 300 days reflects the prophesied 'men's hearts failing them for fear' (Luke 21:26), while the visa restrictions accelerate the prophesied isolation of Israel before final conflicts.
