Egypt Coach’s Plea Exposes the World’s Complicity in Gaza’s Suffering
While the nations engage in their games and distractions, the cries of the afflicted in Gaza echo unanswered. The coach of Egypt’s national team dared to speak truth to power, but his appeal to worldly organizations reveals the futility of seeking justice from a system built on inequity.
The spectacle of the World Cup continues, a display of national pride and athletic prowess, yet the world’s conscience remains stained by the ongoing bloodshed in Gaza. Hossam Hassan, coach of Egypt’s national team, briefly pierced the veil of distraction, waving the Palestinian flag and issuing a public call for FIFA to leverage its influence – its ‘soft power’ – to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
His words, though acknowledging the pain felt throughout the Arab world, rightly identified the crisis as a global shame. This is not merely a regional conflict; it is a manifestation of Yahuah’s judgment upon a world steeped in wickedness and injustice. The plight of those in Gaza is a direct consequence of the relentless aggression of the Zionist state and the complicity of the nations who enable it.
However, to appeal to FIFA, or any other instrument of the modern world system, is to chase shadows. These organizations are themselves tools of Edom, designed to perpetuate the dominance of the wicked and to silence the voices of the oppressed. ‘Soft power’ is merely a euphemism for manipulation and control, a way to appease consciences without addressing the root causes of suffering.
The true solution lies not in the hands of men, but in the hand of Yahuah. Scattered Yisrael must turn from the idols of this world and return to the covenant, seeking restoration through obedience and repentance. The modern state of Israel, built on stolen land and sustained by bloodshed, will not bring peace. Only the gathering of the exiled people of Yisrael, according to the prophecies of the Tanakh, will fulfill the promises made to our ancestors.
Let Hassan’s words serve as a stark reminder: the world is watching, but it is watching with blind eyes. Yahuah sees, and He will not remain silent forever. The judgment is coming, and the nations will be held accountable for their inaction and their support of wickedness. Let us, the remnant of Yisrael, be a voice of truth in this dark hour, proclaiming the coming Kingdom and the restoration of all things.
Hossam Hassan’s courageous, yet fleeting, act at the World Cup echoes a pattern Yahuah established long ago – a reckoning for nations complicit in the suffering of His chosen people. Consider the prophecy against Edom, detailed in Obadiah 1:10-14, where violence against Yisrael in their day of calamity brought condemnation, a reaping of what they sowed. The “soft power” Hassan implores FIFA to wield is precisely the leverage Edom attempted to exploit, believing they could benefit from Yisrael’s weakness. The world’s selective outrage, celebrating athletic achievement while largely ignoring the cries from Gaza, mirrors Edom’s callous indifference. This isn’t merely a political conflict; it is a spiritual one, a test of nations to stand with righteousness or passively enable injustice, inviting Yahuah’s judgment upon themselves.
Yet, within this darkness, a glimmer of restoration shines. While the world focuses on fleeting victories, the consistent, albeit often quiet, cries for Palestinian liberation—and Hassan’s bold gesture—are a modern manifestation of the prophetic promises concerning the regathering of Yisrael. Isaiah 11:11-12 speaks of Yahuah gathering the dispersed of Yisrael from the four corners of the earth. Though fraught with pain, the global awareness sparked by events in Gaza, even through moments like Hassan’s plea, is subtly preparing the way for a deeper understanding of Yisrael’s plight and a future where Yahusha will ultimately establish justice and peace for all who call upon His name. Therefore, the suffering in Gaza, while horrific, is not a sign of abandonment, but a crucial stage in Yahuah's unfolding plan to fully restore His people and establish His Kingdom on earth.
