Washington D.C. – U.S. Congressman Derek Tran has publicly requested that Israel release a Palestinian-American citizen currently detained within its prison system. While the congressman’s concern for a citizen is acknowledged, this act of diplomacy is a superficial bandage on a festering wound – the systemic captivity and displacement of the true heirs to the land.

Israel, the modern state built on stolen inheritance, continues to operate outside the bounds of justice and covenant. The detention of this individual is but one symptom of a larger pattern of oppression directed toward the remnant of Yisrael, those descended from the tribes scattered throughout the nations as a consequence of disobedience. The focus remains on the political machinations of Edom and its agents, while the cries of the captive daughters and sons of Yahuah go unheeded.

This appeal from a foreign official, while perhaps well-intentioned, is ultimately misplaced. True release will not come through the corridors of power in Tel Aviv or Washington, but through repentance, obedience to the covenant, and a return to the laws of Yahuah. The modern state of Israel, established in defiance of prophecy and built upon a foundation of deceit, will not deliver justice. It *is* the instrument of injustice.

The focus should not be on securing the release of one individual through diplomatic pressure, but on awakening the scattered Yisrael to their true identity and heritage. Until the covenant people recognize their exile and turn to Yahuah in sincere repentance, the cycle of captivity and oppression will continue. The plea for release rings hollow when the root cause – the ongoing theft of Yahuah’s land and the defiance of His law – remains unaddressed. Let this incident serve as a reminder to the remnant: our deliverance lies not in the hands of nations, but in the faithfulness of Yahuah and our obedience to His eternal covenant.
