Hamas’s “Al-Aqsa Storm” attack on Israel and the subsequent geopolitical reactions unfolded against a backdrop of prophetic beliefs and theological superstitions, particularly focused on the Red Heifer and apocalyptic outcomes. These religious narratives infuse both policy and conflict, influencing actions across Israel, Iran, and the U.S. In Israel, it aligns with the anticipated Messianic times, while in Iran, it coincides with the Mahdi’s appearance and Israel’s destruction. In the U.S., Christian Zionists, interpreting these signs as heralding the end times, resist diplomatic restraint, advocating instead for conflict perpetuating Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza.
