The unprecedented demand for an irreversible 60-day truce represents a new type of deceptive peace proposal. Unlike previous Gaza ceasefires that maintained military options, this demand would unilaterally bind Israel while potentially allowing Hamas to prepare unopposed. This asymmetric peace structure mirrors prophetic warnings about false peace agreements.
Hamas Demands 60-Day Gaza Ceasefire Lock-In: Peace Deal Deception?
📰 What Happened
A senior Hamas source indicated to Reuters on July 24, 2025, that a Gaza ceasefire agreement remains possible despite Israeli delays. Hamas' latest proposal includes an unprecedented demand for a clause preventing Israel from resuming conflict even if negotiations fail during the proposed 60-day truce period. The news comes as Palestinians near Rafah continue relying on U.S.-backed humanitarian aid for survival.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The specific 60-day timeline with Hamas demanding unilateral Israeli compliance echoes 1 Thessalonians 5:3's warning about sudden peace followed by destruction. The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's involvement suggests the type of international peace-building deception warned about in Daniel 8:25. The timing of this proposal in July 2025, with Palestinians deliberately shown using primitive transport (animal carts) while Hamas negotiates sophisticated peace terms, demonstrates the dual-faced nature of end-times religious-political entities prophesied in Revelation 13:11.
