This unprecedented admission reveals how terrorism could be weaponized to force territorial concessions in future peace negotiations, directly connecting to prophetic warnings about false peace agreements.

📰 What Happened
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamed declared that recent pushes for Palestinian statehood are 'fruits of October 7' while rejecting calls to disarm. Speaking to Al-Jazeera on August 4, 2025, Hamed insisted 'weapons constitute the Palestinian cause' and refused disarmament except as part of a political solution. He defended Hamas' methods despite violations of warfare laws, claiming legitimacy in 'fighting for freedom' while demanding 250 aid trucks daily before resuming hostage negotiations.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Hamas' linking of the October 7 attacks to statehood progress demonstrates three converging prophetic streams: 1) The push to divide Israel's land (Joel 3:2) now explicitly tied to terrorism, 2) Hamed's declaration that 'weapons equal our cause' aligns with Daniel 9:27's false peace scenario where violence forces diplomatic concessions, and 3) The demand for 250 aid trucks shows how humanitarian issues are being leveraged for political gains, echoing Zechariah 12:2's description of Jerusalem becoming a 'cup of trembling' through complex negotiations.
