Are we seeing a break between Iran and the Palestinian group Hamas?

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh had said he would attend this week’s Non-Aligned Movement conference (nam) in Tehran, but he decided to back out at the last minute. According to a report at Haaretz yesterday, Haniyeh’s original plans to attend the conference elicited an angry reaction from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. That Abbas would threaten to boycott the conference is not a huge surprise, given the ongoing feud between Hamas and Fatah.

But what is especially noteworthy about this dust-up is how Tehran has responded to Haniyeh’s pullout.

According to Mehr, Iran’s semi-official news agency, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said, “[O]nly Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, has been invited to Tehran for participation in this summit, and an official invitation has not been sent to any other individual” (emphasis added).

That is Iran’s way of giving its terrorist proxy in Gaza the cold shoulder.

Regular Trumpet readers know this is significant because of a prophecy in Psalm 83, which specifically identifies two Middle Eastern power blocs in this end time. According to the prophecy, Hamas and Syria will be on the opposite side of the Iranian power bloc. With Syria’s regime hanging in the balance, it’s clear now more than ever that the Syrian-Iranian alliance’s days are numbered.

Added to that, it now appears that we are in the early stages of divorce between Iran and Hamas.

Just as my father forecasted on the The Key of David several months ago, “[I]t looks very much like that Iran is going to also lose the Gaza terrorists, and they’re going to shift their alliance … as well.” For much more on this fascinating subject, be sure to watch the entire program.
