In the unending horror of Gaza, there are two significant developments. One is Arab countries – Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt – calling for Hamas to disband and play no further part in the governing of Palestine, the first time they have done so.
The other, inside Israel is the rising number of serving and retired senior army officers who are turning against Benjamin Netanyahu’s war. One said “I think the main reason for a prolonged war in Gaza is political expediency.” Eran Etzion, a former deputy head of Israel’s national security council, was even blunter. “By now it has long been clear to most Israelis that the main reason the Gaza campaign lingers on is because of Netanyahu’s political, personal and judicial interests, and he needs the war to go on in order to sustain and even enhance his grip on power.”
Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, the IDF’s chief of staff, is said to have argued that there is little more to be gained by continuing the campaign.
Ehud Olmert, a former prime minister (2006 -2009), has described Netanyahu’s plan for a ‘humanitarian city’ in Rafah as a concentration camp for Palestinians and that mass forced displacement of people into the camp would be ethnic cleansing. He added that anger at Israel over Gaza war is not all down to antisemitism. Israeli human rights lawyers and scholars have described the plan as a blueprint for crimes against humanity and some have warned that if implemented, “under certain conditions it could amount to the crime of genocide”.
Hamas, if the start date of 14 December 1987 is sound, then its demise (at least in its present form) could be two years off in 2027 when the Solar Arc Pluto is conjunct the natal Sun and SA Mars is conjunct the natal Saturn. That suggests they won’t go quietly or easily into submission or withdrawal. But when they do go it will be a total annihilation.
Across the IDF chart, and the Netanyahu relationship with their commander and with the IDF, there are increasing ruptures from this August onwards, worsening through November and April 2026. The IDF chart, 26 May 1948, and BN’s relationship with senior brass look increasingly agitated after mid 2026 into 2027.
The Israel/Netanyahu relationship chart will jolt, jangle and suffer shocks from now onwards through this winter. There is nothing outstanding either his own chart or his recent term chart to indicate major changes any time soon.
One outcome of the past two years in Gaza is a new wave of radicalization. Fundamentalist groups are on a recruitment drive. Inside Israel/Gaza, terrorist networks are replacing dead Hamas fighters at a rate of five to one. A British security source told Reuters that the Gaza war is “likely to become the biggest recruiter for Islamist militants since 2003”. The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism warned that such conditions are “active incubators for the next generation of extremist operatives”.
The Washington Post has published an article with the names of thousands of children who have been killed in Gaza. It is a deeply sad commentary. Just the names in a long column, by themselves, though some photos are included.

Netanyahu’s planets @ 15 degrees brought to mind the upcoming Sept.7 2025
Full Lunar Eclipse @ Pisces15°24’ which will fall in Bibi’s 3H.
His Saturn at 15 Virgo23 in the 9th’s opposition to this eclipse is off by only 1 min .
In Mundane the 3rd house governs neighboring nations, shared borders.
“A total lunar eclipse will be visible on the night of Sept. 7-8, 2025.”
“Asia and Western Australia will be in the prime positions, offering views of the entire total lunar eclipse. Glimpses of some phases will also be possible from Europe, Africa, eastern Australia and New Zealand. This event will not be observable from the Americas’

Israel appears to have laid the groundwork for intractable and increasing conflict for many years to come. Because of the interlocking links between the Israeli and US Uranus returns, this conlflict could peak at the Saturn-Uranus conjunction in late Gemini in 2032 conjunct US Mars and Israel’s Uranus.
The terrible conflict and deprivation in Gaza brings to mind the myth of the dragon’s teeth, where in Greek mythology the dragon was slain, but once the body was planted in the ground, each tooth grew into another warrior. In one telling of the myth, Medea tells Jason to throw stones at the warriors, but they start killing eachother and leave nobody alive but Jason.
Is that Netanyahu’s idea – to be the last man standing after the soldiers all wipe eachother out? If so, he’s beyond stupid. He will only reap what he sows, like the rest of us. No surprise when his natal Saturn is exactly at the same degree as his Neptune, but in different signs and houses: Saturn at 15 Virgo23 in the 9th and Neptune at 15 Libra23 in the 10th. According to ancient astrology concepts planets in adjacent signs can’t “see” eachother, even though the influence is there. And certainly Netanyahu is not seeing how destructive to the nation’s soul his actions are.
Note the ‘yahoo’ in his name – delusions of grandeur. How the mightly are fallen! To think how low he has gone. He had a good education with a degree from a US university, plus being steeped in ancient Jewish thought and culture. But his mind has become completely corrupted. I won’t go further, but it is a disgrace upon mankind.
I have an exact Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 25 Cancer and Pluto at 26 Leo, all in the 8th house. I have always felt they were not integrated and could not see each other. Jupiter-Uranus are square Neptune at 28 Libra and the Sun at 20 Capricorn, while Pluto is conjunct the Moon, square Saturn in Scorpio, sextile Neptune, and inconjunct a Chiron-Mercury conjunction. They’re too busy to meet or understand each other even though they are in the same house.
