This marks the first time a UN Secretary-General has explicitly used the term 'creeping annexation' in an official capacity, signaling a dramatic shift in diplomatic language. The unprecedented joint hosting by France and Saudi Arabia of a UN-level conference specifically addressing annexation represents a new alignment of Western and Arab powers on this issue. This linguistic and diplomatic evolution suggests a fundamental change in how the international community frames the conflict.

📰 What Happened
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued strong warnings at a July 28, 2025 conference focused on the Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution. Speaking at UN headquarters in New York, Guterres condemned Israel's 'creeping annexation' of the West Bank as illegal and called the destruction of Gaza 'intolerable.' The conference, co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, addressed unilateral actions threatening the viability of a two-state solution. 'Let's be clear: The creeping annexation of the occupied West Bank is illegal. It must stop,' Guterres declared.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The conference's focus on a two-state solution, co-hosted by Saudi Arabia, reveals an emerging religious-political deception. This aligns with prophetic warnings about false peace agreements (1 Thessalonians 5:3). The UN's attempt to broker peace through secular diplomatic channels, while ignoring Jerusalem's spiritual significance, exemplifies the type of human-centered solution warned about in Scripture. Guterres' emphasis on stopping 'unilateral actions' points to a growing global governance approach to Middle East peace that could set the stage for the prophesied false covenant with many (Daniel 9:27).
