Hamas announced the dissolution of its emergency civilian governing committee in Gaza, a move critics and Israel describe as performative — surrendering administrative burdens while retaining full military and security control. This mirrors the Hezbollah model in Lebanon, where an armed terror organisation maintains dominance behind civilian governance structures, a pattern of deceptive power-retention that directly obstructs the post-war order Israel and the U.S. are seeking. Scripture warns of false peace and deceptive agreements in the last days surrounding Israel, and the persistent refusal to disarm keeps the region locked in the prophetic pressure-cooker centred on Gaza and the broader Middle East conflict.
