This marks the first time a sitting US House Speaker's visit to Hebron has been officially condemned as 'criminal' by the PA's highest Islamic authority, while simultaneously invoking UNESCO's authority. This unprecedented elevation of religious claims over diplomatic protocol, coming from the PA's Chief Islamic Judge rather than political officials, signals a shift from political to religious confrontation.

📰 What Happened
The Palestinian Authority strongly condemned US House Speaker Johnson's visit to Hebron and Ariel, accompanied by Ambassador Huckabee. PA Chief Islamic Judge Sheikh Al-Habbash, advisor to Abbas, labeled it an 'invasion' and declared the Cave of Patriarchs 'purely Muslim.' The statement, published through official PA news agency WAFA, referenced UNESCO's 2017 designation of Hebron as Palestinian heritage site. Regavim Movement responded, characterizing the PA's position as seeking 'a state without Jews.'
📖 Prophetic Significance
The PA's assertion of exclusive Muslim rights to Abraham's burial site represents a critical timeline marker in the prophetic sequence of Jerusalem/Temple Mount control. Sheikh Al-Habbash's invocation of UNESCO authority while rejecting biblical history aligns with Daniel 9:27's warning of covenant violation. The official WAFA publication transforms this from local dispute to state doctrine, paralleling Zechariah 12:2-3's prediction of Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone.' This religious-political fusion through official channels creates the exact conditions described in Psalm 83:4-5 regarding coordinated efforts to erase Israel's historical claims.
