Israel’s seven-front war will be over within a year. That’s according to Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who made the claim at the Jewish News Syndicate summit in Jerusalem on Monday.
What exactly did he say? A year from now, “the seven-front war… will be over. Israel will have won. And I think you will see many peace agreements, either that have been forged or will be forged in the coming years of President Trump’s presidency.”
Ok, so what? Well, Dermer has now become the first senior government official to give a timeframe for the end of the war.
Should I believe him? As the saying goes, it’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future—and even more so when the prediction is being made by government officials who are privy to information that we’re not.
Don’t forget: while this is the first actual timeline given by a senior government figure, it’s far from the first time the government has claimed it is nearing victory. In April 2024, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that “we are a step away from victory” in Gaza.
Suffice to say, he was wrong. We’ll have to wait and see whether Dermer’s prediction will suffer the same fate.
VIDEO:
He did not give a deadline. Alex asked what he hoped Israel would look like in 12 months.
Collive would be smart not to trust the fake news of channel 12.
…Moshiach will be revealed long before then!
He predicts it but oh wait it was predicted before and didn’t happen
So what pray tell is the point of this article??
How about May 1, 2025?
