In a stunning and unprecedented development, five prominent Arabian sheikhs from the historic city of Hebron have proposed the formation of an independent emirate—and they desire to align it with Israel and the Abraham Accords.

Author and prophecy researcher Daniel Wright joined L.A. Marzulli to discuss what may be a prophetic turning point in the Middle East. “These dominant families have run Hebron for generations, since before the Palestinian Authority, the British Mandate, and even before the state of Israel,” Wright explained. “They’ve survived every political transition by adapting. But this—this is different.”
According to Wright, the sheikhs submitted a formal proposal to Israeli Minister Nir Barkat. He claims that they discussed their desire to break away from the Palestinian Authority, establish a self-governed emirate in Hebron and recognize Israel as the legitimate Jewish state. This is something they refused to do in 1948, 1967 or during the Oslo Accords.
“This is a fourth or fifth of the West Bank,” Wright said. “They’re essentially saying, ‘We’re not going to be part of Gaza’s chaos. We’re not going to harbor terrorism. We want peace and prosperity for our people.’”
However, Marzulli and Wright warn that this could lead to a false sense of peace.

“I think that there’s an opportunity for some for a great stability and productivity and that could lead to political changes that could bring about lots of prosperity which could produce…envy, anger, frustration… maybe people in the north don’t like what’s going on in the land of Israel…” Wright says.

The proposal from the Hebron sheikhs represents a dramatic departure from decades of Arab resistance to Israel and could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the West Bank. While the move hints at new possibilities for peace and regional cooperation, it also raises prophetic questions about what such alliances may usher in.
