U.S. to Send 200 Troops to Oversee Israel-Hamas Ceasefire
As the peace deal between Israel and Hamas unfolds, the United States will reportedly send 200 troops to the Middle East to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
From the Daily Wire:
No U.S. troops will be sent into Gaza, according to the Associated Press. The service members will staff a “civil-military coordination center” set up by U.S. Central Command in coordination with partner nations and nongovernmental organizations.
The coordination center will monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli security council voted to approve the first phase of a peace proposal on Thursday, officially enacting a ceasefire that includes the release of hostages held by Hamas and a military pullback from Israel.
The ceasefire comes after Israel and Hamas negotiators hammered out an initial agreement in the Egyptian seaside city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Israeli and Hamas officials met through negotiators. Foreign diplomats from the United States, Turkey, and other countries converged on Sharm el-Sheikh as the two sides drew close to a deal earlier this week.
This ceasefire, the Daily Wire notes, is based off of a proposal announced last month by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. IFA covered this announcement. At the time, President Trump reportedly said the deal could create “eternal peace in the Middle East.”
As IFA reported yesterday, this deal comes shortly after the second anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. Many have been celebrating the deal, with several Arab countries signing a joint statement expressing “their confidence in [President Trump’s] ability to find a path to peace.” The President will even address Israel’s Knesset over the weekend following an invitation from Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana, who referred to him as “The Peace President.”
As the Middle moves toward peace, let’s continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

I, too, just had to comment afresh – Thank You, YHVH!!!! The hostages have returned home and can finish celebrating this Succot season on Simchat Torah with their families – 2 years to the day, on the Hebrew calendar, that they were taken hostage. We rejoice in Your faithfulness to Your covenant people Israel. Reveal Yourself to them afresh and anew and in Your fullness – Reveal Yeshua as their Messiah, the One that is the Light they were and are to reveal to the nations.
Psalm 150
Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in this mighty act of bringing the Israeli hostages home. Praise Him for His acts of power. Praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with song and shouts dear families of the remaining hostages, as well as the Israeli people and all peoples of this earth. Praise Him with the sounds of the trumpet, with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing. Praise Him with strings, pipes and the clash of symbols! Let everything that has breath PRAISE THE LORD!!
I am a warrior . I have killed and will kill to defend my Beloved. I do not kill for revenge but to protect my Beloved. I will not be defeated. I am one spirit with the Lion of Judah🇮🇱🇺🇸
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE DON’T LET MUSLIMS DESTROY THE WORLD. PLEASE DO NOT LET OUR LEADERS BE DECIEVED. PLEASE RETURN ASAP, WE NEED YOU DESPERATELY. PLEASE TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY LIFE, SO I TOO MAY BE SAVED. CLEAN UP MY THOUGHTS, WORDS, DEEDS.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I also pray for the Israeli people that they world come to know you. I pray they would bow their knee to Jesus as their Messiah and stop this barbaric war. I pray they would not seek revenge but would remember what You said, “vengeance is Mine. I will repay.” I pray that they will not seek vengeance but will forgive and leave this in Your hands, fully trusting you. Lord, bring peace to the Middle East.
I also pray for Hamas and those who live in Gaza. Bring an end to this terrible war and save the lives of the innocent. Lord, bring these people to knowledge of the Truth and let them have true encounter with Jesus. I pray they would bow their knee before its too late. Save their souls.
I pray for God’s protection for President Trump and everyone on this trip with him. The Light of God surrounds them. The Power of God protects them. God is omni-present and All is Well.
Donald Trump is “bringing peace” to the world while the country that voted him in office is dying.
READ YOUR BIBLE! Donald Trump cannot bring peace! We are in big trouble if we do not heed GOD’s WORD!
God is using our President to bless Israel. America is not dying. God is using him to save America. America is being saved. You would know this if you stopped listening to the false prophets of the fake news media.
President Donald Trump is about to be confronted with a stark choice. Will he align with God or Baal? Hamas will likely refuse to disarm and leave Gaza. Quatar , China, and other Economic powerhouses will back them. Israel will likely not tolerate this. Trump will have to choose to side with Israel (and YHVH) or with Quatar (Baal, the “money god of satan’s Kingdom). This may well be the most important decision of his Presidency and life. It will also profoundly affect America. O God let your Righteous Hand Guide Trump. Pray, pray, pray beloved intercessors. God bless you🇺🇸🇮🇱
his recent actions/judgement with Ukraine and Russia do not lend itself to give cause for any reassurance in this situation either
Wow, Monte! A man who speaks the TRUTH. Thank you, brother! Yes, what you say is correct; the QATARI plane bribe and the 5.5 billion dollar Trump Qatari Golf Course plus the billions
he allowed Saudi Arabia to dump into America’s A.I. system–reveals that he is compromised for all who have EYES to see. To allow a Muslim country to contribute MASSIVELY to our A.I.
It was a massive betrayal to Americans, and an indication of his preference or Ba’al Mammon (or Apollo–which I hear he has a fascination regarding–Trump Towers is decorated with APOLLO The Sun God motifs. Ezekiel 8 and 9:4-6 should be studied as to how YHWH FEELS ABOUT SUN WORSHIP and HOW HE HANDLES THOSE WHO ENGAGE in it.)
On 7/6/2025, the Holy Spirit woke me up to say, “COVENANT of the MANY is coming…”. (Daniel 9:27) This “fake peace deal” allows for 1,700 terrorists to be released for only 20 living hostages. ALL the ceasefires were lopsided always favoring the prolonging by giving Hamas TIME to rearm. “Whatsoever you DO to the least of my brethren (adelphios–Greek meaning blood brothers/family-THAT YOU DO UNTO ME!” (Matthew 25:40)
One night I heard YESHUA’s VOICE wake me up and say VERY LOUDLY, “I DON’T MAKE CEASEFIRES! I ROUT MY ENEMIES! I AM A GREAT KING!” (It was SUCH a GLORIOUS PROCLAMATION!!!) I have repented by proxy each time Witkoff organized ceasefires allowing Hamas to rearm, because of hearing how Yeshua FEELS about these human plans lacking SCRIPTURAL WISDOM. Do a study on ALL HIS VICTORIES in Scripture–it is very, very eye opening.
We must affirm that we STAND ON YHWH’s COVENANTS and say, “As for me and my household, we will SERVE YHWH!” (Joshua 24:15) I pray Bibi and Israel does what is required to bring VICTORY–for the Jewish people NEED to be REGATHERED SOON to finish fulfilling the 64 Aliyah-Regathering Promises for they are NO longer safe in the nations which have turned away from their Christian heritage. (Zech 12:2) He can encounter them and SAVE them when their feet are on their Ancestral UNILATERAL EVERLASTING ABRAHAMIC COVENANTAL LAND. We don’t want any more Jewish blood on our soil (in May –2 Messianic Jews were assassinated in Washington, DC. The Holy Spirit told me, “A SHIFT has HAPPENED. Things are ACCELERATING, America now has the BLOOD of 2 MESSIANIC MARTYRS on your soil.” I wept.
When Charlie Kirk was martyred, the Holy Spirit said, “You now have the BLOOD OF THE CULTIVATED OLIVE TREE (Romans 9-11) on your soil. 2 Messianic martyrs and Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr. O AMERICA! WHEN…WHEN will you R E P E N T!?” (and then the Holy Spirit started GROANING! It was the most lamentable and eery sound I have EVER HEARD! SO Romans 8:26-27–is REAL! It was UNSETTLING!!! I prostrated myself and joined the sounds I was hearing. Not sure what it will take to WAKE UP the church to STAND with ISRAEL and stop listening to “influencers.”. I STAND with KING YESHUA and with His FOOTSTOOL (Ps. 99)
It is TIME for the “blood between their teeth to be REMOVED” (from Hamas in Gaza) ZECHARIAH 9. May it be so….and SOON!
AM Y’ISRAEL CHAI!
Amen!
Amen to both Monte and Michelle! Thank You, YHVH, that You are drawing Your people, Israel, to return to You and to Torah wherever they are – and to make aliyah – to return to Israel. You are whistling to them – may they hear and respond, so they can “see” Yeshua as He is revealed to them!
Thanks Beloved Michelle, I have no problem with Trump making business deals with Arab leaders some of whom actually love Israel, believe it or not. I just don’t want my beloved President being deceived or influenced by Satan. Bottom line Israel wins, Iran/proxies lose. God bless you dear for stewarding the heart of God❤️🇺🇸🇮🇱
Touching and agreeing in 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I pray and stand on Your will Lord for Your plans for Your chosen people of Israel. Zech 12:9 says “On that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for listening and answering this prayer. Amen
Lord I pray you would strengthen Netanyahu and the Israelis to accomplish their war aims. 1) Get the hostages. 2) Destroy Hamas as a Governing entity. Do not let them settle for anything less even if it displeases Trump and his team. Hamas and the demonic powers operating through them must be completely uprooted and expelled from Gaza. You foul evil spirits in Gaza, I curse you by the blood of Yeshua. Do not allow Trump or anyone else stop this from happening in Jesus’s Mighty Name.🇺🇸🇮🇱
I commend our President and his chosen negotiators that this agreement has been orchestrated. Ps 122…Our prayers for the Peace of Jerusalem must continue. I’m reminded of Jeremiah 6, however, when he was prophesying over Jerusalem. “Everyone deals falsely. They’ve healed the brokenness of my people superficially, saying,’Peace, Peace,’ But there is no peace.” We and they need the Prince of Peace, Messiah of Israel, our God and Savior!
YHVH, there is little in this 20 point peace plan that I support, not because I don’t want peace, but because I do not want peace at any cost – and as usual Israel is getting dumped with all the “bills”. The costs have already been very high to them. And I do not trust hamas to do anything but take a break to regroup and continue their stated reason for existence – to wipe the Jewish state of Israel off the map and commit a genocide of the Jewish people.
What I do pray for is the release of the hostages, with no further harm done to them. YHVH, please have mercy upon them, bring them home – comfort, heal and restore as You alone know how!
I’m not thrilled about our troops being deployed to oversee this “ceasefire”, especially since our involvement could become endangered by the same moral confusion that overcame the British troops in the Land before the establishment of the State of Israel. Given that President Trump has given his stated approval of the defense of the interests of the USA and Qatar – not Israel – I am not convinced about whose interests will be protected in this very chaotic and volatile conflict, that I don’t believe will end. Perhaps it will pause. So YHVH, please intervene to accomplish Your purposes, because I know they will stand – and You will guard the apple of Your eye.
May You reveal Your Son Yeshua to both Jew and Arab, Lord – to all the inhabitants of the Middle East – for it is in Him alone that they will know true peace. May the Gazans reject hamas, and embrace You, YHVH. Expose all false gods, and make Yourself known – the One and Only God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!
Beautiful prayer. I have the same concerns. Releasing 1,700 Hamas terrorists and 20 starved and abused Jewish hostages…is SO lopsided and GRIEVOUS.
STAND with THE KING of kings. STAND with ISRAEL–there is a beautiful ONE NEW MAN ISRAELI REMNANT of Messianic Jews, Arabic Christians (including
400 Arabic Christian ‘DEBORAHS” who stand against the NORTHERN GATE to protect Israel and International Christians stationed in Israel to help bring in
the Harvest. LET’s LIFT UP their exhausted prayer arms…this has been such a LONG war. ARISE YHWH against Your Enemies–may those who hate You flee
from before YOUR FACE! (Ps. 68:1) My heart yearns for something amazing to happen so that YHWH ALONE-YHWH TZVA’OT (Ps. 24, Ps. 46) GAINS ALL the
GLORY with SHOCK and AWE!
As always, thank you for your heart of intercession Mary Beth….
NO SHRIA LAW IN USA
ONLY, VICTORY IN GAZA
AND SOVEREIGNTY IN JUDEA-SAMARIA
First of all, there will be NO lasting peace in the Middle East. If it hasn’t happened by now, it never will. I have no hope whatsoever that Hamas will hold up their end of the bargain. Hopefully, the hostages all get released as they have agreed to do. I am glad to hear that we will have a military presence overseeing the cease-fire. That said, we as a nation have bigger issues to deal with, like the efforts of China to take over our nation. We need to be focused on this issue, NOT what happens with Israel and Hamas. Lord Jesus, please, by Your great mercy and grace, give our national leaders wisdom and guidance as to what they need to focus their efforts upon.
I do not trust hamas in the past they have proven that they will not honor any peace agreement with Israel. I trust in God. Let God’s will be done. 🙏😇🙏❤️
“In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability,” Trump’s executive order read.
“And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them.”…

Lord, please have Mercy.
Jude, the points you raise are very legitimate concerns. May Israel have their eyes wide open to the Truth, and walk in great wisdom and discernment. The tree quote is unfamiliar to me, but oh, so true.
Hallelujah 👑 to your name Lord God and may your peace rule and reformation continue to take place Israel and Hamas. and Lord we shall continue to cover the 200 solders with your protection 🙏🏾 🙌🏾 in the mighty name.of Jesus.
Father God, Lord Jesus, dear Holy Spirit, please set your Spirit and Your angels over the Middle East, especially Israel. I pray for the salvation of the Israeli people—that they would come to know and love their Messiah, Jesus, and that You’d save the Muslim people, who have suffered under deception and evil, corrupt leadership. Let the Middle East become a beacon of light throughout the world. Bless, protect, guide and prosper President Trump, his administration, and family.
Lord, Your word says blessed are the peacemakers.
It also strongly cautions against those who say peace peace when there is no peace.
We are grateful if the hostages are released.
There is potential harm to Israel in this deal.
Help the American presence of 200 personnel, under Admiral Cooper, in this challenging task of overseeing and implementing this agreement.
Ultimately, You gave this little strip of land to the tribe of Judah. Sooner or later, perhaps after You return, it will again come under full Israeli civil and military administration.
As You rule over the affairs of man, rule over all of the plans in motion.
if the President speaks to the Israeli Knesset, may his speech be in the fear of God and seasoned with grace, and may he quote scriptures which have been fulfilled by Your miraculous re-creation of Israel.
Praise God Israel and Hamas have now agreed to peace, the release of all hostages, and an end to the two year war!! Let us continue to pray that both sides will strictly abide by all the peace agreements and cease all hostilities! Pray that our 200 military soldiers monitoring the peace process be shielded and protected by God’s Angel Armies!
Father we ask for Your wisdom to Pres. Trump, Sec. of War Pete Hegseth & all concerning, speak to them in dreams & visions as they sleep tonight about Your plans in sending or Not sending our US troops to Israel. In Jesus Name, Amen
