There is not peace between Hamas and Israel:

Israeli Military: Hamas Has Attacked Israeli Soldiers, Breaking Ceasefire
October 19, 2025
Israel said it struck Hamas militants in southern Gaza on Sunday after they shot at Israeli soldiers who were inside the area that is still under Israeli control, according to the conditions of the Oct. 10 ceasefire.
Israeli aircraft and artillery struck the area, the military said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with Israel’s security heads and directed the military to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations, https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/israel-hamas-gaza/2025/10/19/id/1230955/
19 October 2025
Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, after it said “terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF [Israel Defense Forces] troops”.
The IDF said the attack in the southern city of Rafah was “a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement” and promised to respond firmly.
Hamas said it was “unaware of any events or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, as these are red zones under the control of the occupation”.
The ceasefire deal – part of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war – came into force on 10 October.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he had met top defence officials and instructed them “to act forcefully against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip”.
Hamas’s military wing denied knowledge of any clashes in the Rafah area.
In its statement, al-Qassam Brigades said: “Contact with our remaining groups there has been cut off since the resumption of war in March of this year.
“Therefore, we have no connection to any events taking place in those areas, and we cannot communicate with any of our fighters there, if any of them are still alive.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2elr16jjqo

This is no surprise.

There is much optimism related to Donald Trump’s deal between Hamas and Israel. …
Yet, the Bible prophesies:
10 “Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace — and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar — 11 say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down. 12 Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’” (Ezekiel 13:10-12)
Now, this deal will basically be positive for the released Israeli hostages and their families. As well as for many in Gaza.
But … Notice something from one of Hamas’ official founding documents:
THE COVENANT OF THE HAMAS – MAIN POINTS . . .
Goals of the HAMAS:
——————
‘The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.’ (Article 6)
On the Destruction of Israel:
—————————–
‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’ (Preamble)
Here are excerpts from its later, 2017, charter or list of goals:
Preamble
Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate. …
Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-human and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise (the Balfour Declaration), on recognition of a usurping entity and on imposing a fait accompli by force. …
The movement
1. The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” is a Palestinian Islamic national liberation and resistance movement. Its goal is to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project. Its frame of reference is Islam, which determines its principles, objectives and means.
The Land of Palestine
2. Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras al-Naqurah in the north to Umm al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. ..
3. Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land that has a special place in the heart of every Arab and every Muslim. …
10. Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine. Its religious, historic and civilisational status is fundamental to the Arabs, Muslims and the world at large. Its Islamic and Christian holy places belong exclusively to the Palestinian people and to the Arab and Islamic Ummah. Not one stone of Jerusalem can be surrendered or relinquished. The measures undertaken by the occupiers in Jerusalem, such as Judaisation, settlement building, and establishing facts on the ground are fundamentally null and void. …
17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine.
18. The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.
19. There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. Whatever has befallen the land of Palestine in terms of occupation, settlement building, judaisation or changes to its features or falsification of facts is illegitimate. Rights never lapse.
20. Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. …
27. A real state of Palestine is a state that has been liberated. There is no alternative to a fully sovereign Palestinian State on the entire national Palestinian soil, with Jerusalem as its capital. 05/02/17 https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full accessed 11/07/23
Hamas does not want all its supporters destroyed, but many doubt that it has changed its objectives. It wants Israel gone and Jews out of the area. It does not want to leave the area itself.
When protesters chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” that is a Hamas adopted slogan that means that the area from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea is to be Palestinian and not Israeli.
As I posted here on December 29, 2024:
Hamas wants Israel gone—though that does not mean that they will not be open to some type of a temporary or timed withdrawal or peace deal. (VOA: Hamas Goes to Cairo to Consider Egyptian Peace Proposal)
Israel did not eliminate Hamas as it stated it would.
There will be no permanent peace in the Middle East before Jesus returns. (Thiel B. Hamas deal: Peace or Terror or ? COGwriter, October 10, 2025)

Jesus came to proclaim liberty:

1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah 61:1-2)

There are concerns about Hamas in this deal. I do not believe that all those associated with Hamas have renounced terrorism. … the age of terror is not over. And no, this deal is not leading permanent peace in the Middle East.
Hamas is not gone.
Do not overestimate aspects of this peace deal.

The attack by ‘rogue’ Hamas supporters confirmed my belief here.

That said, there will be no permanent peace in the region until after Jesus returns.

However, a temporary peace deal is prophesied to come (see The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27).

Unless it is changed and some part is somehow confirmed for seven years, the current deal is not it–but it will come.

“Watch” (Mark 13:37) for it.
