The 7-Year Peace Agreement with Israel Has Not Yet Been Signed, But We are a Step Closer. An Update Regarding Peace in the Middle East

Posted June 4, 2025 | End Times Watch

All of the end-times watchers are fixated on the very next end-times event…A 7-Year Peace Agreement with Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, allowing the third temple to be built upon the “Temple Mount” in Israel. There has been some progress toward this occurring. Let’s take a look:

Several peace talks and diplomatic efforts involving Israel are currently underway or scheduled for the near future, focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and broader regional stability.

UN High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine (June 2–4, 2025)

The United Nations is hosting a high-level international conference at its headquarters from June 2 to 4, 2025. The conference aims to emphasize that a two-state solution remains the “only path to lasting peace” in the Middle East. The announcement came as the General Assembly adopted three key resolutions with broad international support.

U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Negotiations Between Israel and Hamas

The United States, under the leadership of President Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff, has been mediating ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The proposed plan includes a 60-day truce and the release of hostages. While Israel has reportedly approved the plan, Hamas has criticized it for lacking a commitment to end the 20-month conflict and for not addressing the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Upcoming New York Peace Conference on Gaza (June 17–20, 2025)

An international conference is scheduled to take place in New York from June 17 to 20, 2025. The conference aims to develop a widely supported international framework addressing the disarmament of Hamas, the release of hostages, the reform of the Palestinian Authority, and post-conflict planning, including consideration of a two-state solution.

These diplomatic efforts reflect a concerted push by international actors to address the ongoing conflict and explore pathways to peace in the region. While challenges remain, the scheduled talks and conferences indicate a continued commitment to seeking resolutions.

Recent Developments in Israel-Hamas Peace Negotiations

Diplomatic efforts have included proposals for a 5- to 7-year ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. These proposals aim to establish a long-term truce, facilitate the release of hostages, and outline the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Recent Ceasefire Proposals

April 2025 Proposal: Mediators from Egypt and Qatar presented a plan that included a 5- to 7-year ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from Gaza, and the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

January 2025 Agreement: A ceasefire agreement was reached and took effect on January 19, 2025. This agreement, known as the “Three-Phase Proposal for a Durable Peace in the Middle East,” included a six-week ceasefire, the release of hostages, and plans for reconstruction in Gaza.

Clarification on the 7-Year Duration

While these proposals mention a 7-year duration, it’s important to note that they are political agreements aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict and do not carry any religious or prophetic significance. In some religious interpretations, particularly within Christian eschatology, a 7-year peace treaty involving Israel is associated with end-times prophecy. However, the current diplomatic efforts are grounded in political negotiations and are not linked to such interpretations.

In summary, while a 7-year ceasefire has been proposed in recent negotiations between Israel and Hamas, these are political initiatives focused on achieving long-term peace and stability in the region.

I will be watching the Peace Talks in New York, June 17-20 2025 and report any news relating to the possibility of the 7-year peace agreement that we are all waiting for.
