In a message saying ‘We are preparing for a ground operation’, Netanyahu claimed that they would see the ‘prophecy’ in the Torah’s book of Isaiah against Hamas and said: Now is the time to come together for one goal; To advance quickly to victory. With our collective strength and deep belief in our righteousness and the immortality of the Jewish people, we will see the prophecy of Isaiah against Hamas. There will be no more news of violence in your country, or theft or destruction along the border. Your walls call for salvation and your gates for praise.
Following Israel’s statements about the ground operation, a response similar to an ultimatum came from Hamas. Saleh Al-Arouri, deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, said in a phone call with Hezbollah’s Al-Manar channel: The clashes have not begun yet. He added: “Our war is also Hezbollah’s war.”
Referring to the expected Israeli ground attack on Gaza, Saleh Al-Arouri continues: “If the enemy enters by land, it will be an unprecedented defeat (for Israel).”
What message did Netanyahu want to send?
Hakan Bayrakci, neutral zone public opinion researcher at CNN TÜRK, explained his assessments regarding the symbols of this statement. Bayrakji said: I think there is an interesting cunning and intelligence in this statement by Netanyahu. To analyze this, it is necessary to know the history of the prophets well. Why would you say? The Prophet Isaiah is important to both the Christian and Jewish community. The message he presents to the Jewish people here is this. There are approximately 70 known Jewish prophets. David, the second greatest king of Israel. The third greatest king, Solomon, peace be upon him, is his son. We also accept him as a prophet. He doesn’t tell them. He did not say no, but Isaiah. Where are you from? Others are of little importance to the Christian world. It has no great religious significance. “Isaiah is very important to the Christian world,” he said.
Here lies the importance for the Jewish world. He has many prophecies mentioned in the Torah. In short, he says that the great State of Israel will be created, and before this great State is created, the Israeli nation will suffer,” said Bayrakji and continued as follows;
Then this state will be established and will be a light for the whole world. This is the essence of prophecy for the Jewish world. This State of Israel will be a very strong, great and shining country. Why did he choose Isaiah? This is my comment. The cause also attracts the attention of Christendom and tries to gain its sympathy. In all four Christian Gospels, Isaiah is mentioned at least 4-5 times. Because while Isaiah prophesied about the nation of Israel, he also described the Messiah. He said that one day Christ would come and do this. The Messiah in his description will glorify the Jews and the Jewish state. It says that your leader who will glorify you is coming. Why does he attract the sympathy of Christendom? It was mentioned so often in the Bible that it says: “The Messiah will enter Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, as the prophet Isaiah said.”
