Israel’s miliary occupation of Gaza, intended to encourage a mass exodus of the local population, and to pressure Hamas to release the remaining 59 captives, 24 of whom are believed to be alive, has been pushed down the news agenda. Against the protests of hostage families, the ceasefire brokered by Trump’s emissary is fading into memory. The far-right factions in Netanyahu’s cabinet, on whom his political survival depends, oppose moving to the second phase of the ceasefire and the government has recently approved the expansion of more settlements in the West Bank. Netanyahu faces wider domestic criticism and legal pressures so the continuing war provides a a distraction from the corruption within his office.
The Palestine Declaration of Independence of 15 November 1988 12.40 am Algiers, Algeria, flagged up the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023 clearly – with tr Uranus opposition the Scorpio Sun; and the tr Pluto in Capricorn square Mars colliding with the Palestine Capricorn Moon.
There is nothing upbeat or progressive ahead for the Palestinians with tr Neptune Saturn square the Uranus and Saturn and conjunct the Mars exactly now and on and off into and through 2026 into early 2027 – that looks devastating. There may be a ray of sunshine when tr Uranus is conjunct the Jupiter in 2026 into early 2027 but nothing to offset the difficulties.
Israel will remain on high alert with tr Uranus moving to square the Mars in June, December and March 2026 which will be explosive and risky. Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump is being severely rattled from now through till mid May with tr Uranus square their composite Mercury, Sun and Mars. Either there will be explosive arguments between them or they will be facing an increasing violent and risk situation together.
Netanyahu’s government chart, 29 December 2022 4.30 pm Tel Aviv, which is martial with Mars on the focal point of a yod, won’t appreciate tr Neptune Saturn moving into Aries undermining the Jupiter and Moon from now into 2026. Disappointments and unhappy electorate. Though there is nothing specific pointing to an end point.
His relationship with Bezazel Smotrich, a key right-wing figure and West Bank settler, will be edgy in the extreme as tr Neptune undermines their composite Sun now into 2026 and tr Uranus elbows the composite Mars in July onwards. Smotrich looks upbeat ahead with tr Uranus square his Mars Jupiter conjunction in 2026/7 and his Solar Arc Mars Jupiter hitting his intense Venus opposition Pluto for a super-confident push in 2026/27 as well.
Into 2026 tr Pluto will start to square the Israel 10th house Moon in Leo putting intense pressure on the leading classes and the electorate.
And so it goes on and on.
