📰 What Happened
Hamas is promoting unverified claims of mass starvation in Gaza as their final leverage point, according to analyst Olivier Melnick. The New York Times published photos claiming to show starvation victims, but evidence suggests aid supplies are being hoarded by Hamas rather than distributed. This media campaign comes as Hamas faces increasing military pressure and declining hostage leverage, attempting to generate international sympathy and buy time to regroup.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The orchestrated deception campaign aligns with biblical warnings about end-times delusion. Hamas's strategic use of the NYT and mainstream media to promote false narratives parallels 2 Thessalonians' warning about those who 'refuse to love the truth.' The deliberate manipulation of humanitarian concerns to protect terrorist infrastructure demonstrates the prophesied 'strong delusion' that would characterize the last days. The willing participation of respected media outlets in spreading unverified claims against Israel reflects the prophetic warning that even the 'elect' could be deceived by sophisticated lies.
