Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that his nation will recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September. The move is being presented as a step toward a two-state solution, a ceasefire in Gaza, and the release of hostages. Yet, in reality, it aligns Australia with a growing bloc of nations—including France, Britain, and Canada—that are turning up diplomatic pressure on Israel at a time when the Jewish nation already stands increasingly isolated on the world stage.

This decision is another marker in the unfolding alignment of nations against Israel, just as the Bible foretells will happen in the last days. Zechariah 12 warns that Jerusalem will become a burdensome stone to all nations, and Joel 3 speaks of God’s judgment on those who divide His land. By joining the chorus of governments endorsing Palestinian statehood, Australia is participating in a global shift that paves the way for the prophetic scenario where Israel stands alone, surrounded by political and spiritual opposition before the Lord’s return.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
