Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, the founder and spiritual leader of the Palestinian organization Hamas, predicted in 1999, in an interview with the Al Jazeera news agency, that Israel would “cease to exist as a state by 2027.”

Yassin based his view on the story of the forty-year wandering in the desert mentioned in the Qur’an. He explained that there would be a generational shift in two stages. Each phase would last forty years, and Israel would eventually “lose its foundations and collapse.”

Yassin suggested that “the Palestinian people were overthrown in 1948 and expelled from their homeland.” He noted that forty years later an intifada erupted in Gaza, an uprising that forced the Zionists and the rest of the world to recognize the existence of the Palestinian people.

The man who inspired Hamas’s military resistance was assassinated by Zionist occupiers in March 2004 in a helicopter strike as Yassin and his entourage were leaving a mosque in Gaza. Sheikh Yassin and six other people were killed and fifteen others were injured, including two of Yassin’s sons. The assassination was widely condemned around the world, but the United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning the attack.

Yassin’s prophecy may be more relevant today than ever as the anniversary date approaches. Geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting and the global order is changing shape, with potential implications for Israel’s very existence.

“Israel is founded on tyranny and oppression, but everything born of oppression will ultimately lead to destruction,” Sheikh Yassin said in a well-known interview. After decades of repressive policies and the recent blatant excesses of the Zionist regime, the time may soon come for a one-state solution — Palestine.
