JD: Two different factions of the Palestinian people, Hamas and Fatah. They seemingly are going to come together seeing if they can put some type of reconciliation in place. Can these two come into one unity operation?
IM: Neither side likes the other one. In 2007 they had a terrible terrible Civil War where Hamas soldiers were taking Fatah’s people and literally throwing them off the roofs of houses, it was a terrible terrible period of time. And Hamas wants to rule in Gaza. However, in spite of Hamas wanting to rule Hamas has run out of money. If Hamas is really really in a bind at this point and not out of love of the Fatah but out of desperation Hamas may actually agree this time to a reconciliation. But they’re demanding that there be national elections. If there are national elections Hamas is hoping they will win the election so that what they are unable to do by the gun right now they might actually be able to do an election and take over the Palestinian Authority. That is what Hamas is hoping for.
JD: What would happen if they did have elections today?
IM: Mahmoud Abbas today is very unpopular so, Abbas is not popular. On the other end Hamas is not popular either and the leadership of Hamas isn’t popular. And what I think will determine the outcome will be literally what happens in the news and I think that’s something that’s very very scary and a little bit ominous. In the past when Hamas and Fatah were weak they would start terror campaigns and the terror campaigns always raised their popularity. If we have elections coming up I expect that in the month or two before the elections both Fatah and Hamas will commit terror attacks to be able to show the Palestinian people that they do know how to use tactic of terror. And I fear that whoever is more successful using terror might jump up the polls.

We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The two factions of the Palestinian people Hamas and Fatah
are talking about reconciliation and becoming one people. This possibility
could lead to violence against the Jewish people of Israel. The ancient Jewish
prophets wrote that this prophetic scenario would come about in the last days,
that’s Ezekiel 35 and Obadiah. Palestinian unity talks are actually setting the
stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
