Messianic World Update | November 14, 2025 | Messianic World Update | Trump’s Peace Plan Fails as Hamas Refuses to Disarm

Shalom, everyone, I’m Monte Judah with Lion and Lamb Ministries, bringing you the latest Messianic World Update. Today’s date is Friday, November 14, 2025.

This week’s news from Israel and around the world gives us a sobering look at both political and spiritual realities unfolding before our eyes.

Bodies Returned from Gaza

Hamas has returned three more bodies of fallen Israelis, including that of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, who was killed during Operation Protective Edge back in 2014. Eleven years later, his remains have finally come home to Israel for burial. Four other Israeli bodies remain in Gaza, unrecovered.

This heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of terrorism underscores how far we are from genuine peace. Hamas continues to reject every attempt at disarmament—the very second point of President Trump’s peace plan—and instead clings to violence and hatred.

Trump’s Peace Plan and the Stalemate in Gaza

Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza has hit a standstill. The disarmament clause has become the main stumbling block, with roughly 200 Hamas operatives trapped in tunnels near Rafah. Israel is demanding they surrender their weapons before emerging. Hamas refuses, choosing darkness over peace.

The United Nations and the United States are attempting to assemble a stabilization force for Gaza, but no meaningful progress is being made. Turkey offered to lead—an offer Israel rightly rejected given Turkey’s long-standing support of Hamas. Once again, the international community seeks to dictate terms to Israel while turning a blind eye to the root issue: terrorism and refusal to recognize Israel’s right to exist.

Propaganda and Lies Against Israel

U.S. intelligence reports accused the IDF of using Palestinians as “human shields” when clearing tunnels. Let’s be clear—there’s a vast difference between protecting soldiers from booby traps and what Hamas does: deliberately firing rockets from behind civilians to maximize casualties and global outrage.

The U.N. even admitted this week that claims of genocide and starvation in Gaza were false—pure propaganda. Yet the world’s hatred for Israel persists. As Yeshua said, “You will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.”

New Efforts for Peace and the Abraham Accords

As Trump seeks to revive the Abraham Accords, he met with Syria’s new leadership, who promised to resist Hezbollah and Iran’s influence. However, they refuse to join the Accords until Israeli forces withdraw from southern Syria—forces currently preventing greater chaos in the region.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and is constructing a protective wall to stop cross-border raids and kidnappings. The same tactics Hamas uses are now employed by Hezbollah, but Israel is taking firm steps to secure her people.

Trump’s Letter to President Herzog

In an extraordinary gesture, President Trump sent a letter to Israeli President Herzog asking for a pardon for Prime Minister Netanyahu—calling him a hero and victim of political persecution. Netanyahu, maintaining his integrity, has refused to admit guilt for crimes he did not commit. It’s clear this is another witch hunt, much like what we’ve seen against Trump himself.

Settler Violence and Media Spin

Reports of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in Samaria made global headlines. But what the media won’t tell you is that this attack followed repeated Palestinian theft and harassment of Israeli farmers and families. Israel’s government has been slow to act, leaving some settlers frustrated and reacting inappropriately. The world only sees the “second hit” and blames Israel. Once again, the propaganda war is stacked against the Jewish people.

Political Division and Spiritual Decline in America

Here at home, the U.S. government has reopened after the recent historic shutdown, but only until January. The root cause isn’t money—it’s division. The Democratic Party refuses to accept the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency, obstructing anything that would benefit the nation simply because he supports Israel and conservative values.

That same spirit of rebellion fuels today’s antisemitism. People who hate Trump also hate Israel, because he stands with Israel. When interviewed, some pro-Hamas protesters admitted they weren’t protesting Israel—they were protesting Trump. The irrational hatred we’re witnessing mirrors what Yeshua described as the “love of many growing cold.”

The Danger of Another Civil War

The polarization in America is reaching critical levels. History reminds us that the last time this nation was so divided—over moral and political differences—the Democrats opposed Abraham Lincoln and started a civil war. The same hatred of righteousness, of biblical morality, and of national integrity is stirring again today.

We must pray fervently—for Israel, for our nation, and for the world. As believers in Messiah, our hope is not in governments or political leaders but in the soon-coming King who will establish true peace.
