This conflict marks the first time Israel has conducted a sustained military campaign while simultaneously facing unprecedented diplomatic pressure from traditional allies and regional threats. The extended duration and intensity of the operation, combined with evolving global alignments, represents a distinct shift from previous Gaza conflicts, suggesting a new phase in Middle Eastern power dynamics.
Israel-Hamas 3-Month War Analysis: Shifting Mideast Alliances
📰 What Happened
The Jerusalem Post examines the strategic value of Israel's three-month military campaign against Hamas in Gaza through July 2025. The analysis questions whether the operational gains justified the diplomatic, economic, and human costs incurred. The article evaluates Hamas's degradation compared to pre-conflict capabilities while considering Israel's broader regional position and international standing following the extended military engagement.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The extended Gaza campaign has catalyzed unusual geopolitical realignments, with traditional Western allies distancing themselves from Israel while regional Arab states maintain strategic neutrality. This aligns with Zechariah's prophecy of Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone for all people' (12:3). The IDF's July 2025 operations indicate a strategic pivot that could accelerate the isolation of Israel prophesied in Ezekiel 38. The questioning of military effectiveness despite significant capabilities points to the growing complexity of securing Israel's borders, potentially setting the stage for the supernatural divine intervention described in multiple end-times scenarios.
