This event marks an unprecedented reversal where Israeli public opinion (overwhelming majority) directly opposes military action in Gaza - a stark contrast to historical unity during conflicts. The tension between government actions and public will, especially regarding hostages, represents a new dynamic in Israeli decision-making that aligns with prophetic warnings about leadership deception in the last days.

📰 What Happened
Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv on August 9, 2025 to protest PM Netanyahu's plan to escalate the Gaza war by seizing Gaza City, despite widespread opposition. The rally demanded release of 50 remaining hostages, with officials believing only 20 are alive. Hostage wife Lishay Miran Lavi pleaded for US intervention. The security cabinet approved the offensive expansion awaiting full cabinet approval, while ceasefire talks collapsed in July 2025.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The government's push for expanded warfare despite public opposition and diplomatic warnings reveals a pattern of deceptive leadership foretold in Ezekiel 13:10. Netanyahu's plan to seize Gaza City while 50 hostages remain captive, against 'overwhelming' public opposition, exemplifies the 'strong delusion' warned of in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. The collapse of July peace talks followed by escalation rather than negotiation mirrors the pattern of 'crying peace, peace, when there is no peace' (Jeremiah 6:14). This demonstrates how religious and political deception can manifest through seemingly legitimate security decisions.
