  • Could the advances of these islamic rebels in syria
  • 00:05:19.082 --> 00:05:22.052
  • Islamic rebels in syria eventually pose a threat to
  • 00:05:22.186 --> 00:05:22.753
  • Eventually pose a threat to israel?
  • 00:05:22.886 --> 00:05:23.086
  • Israel? >> well that it's possible,
  • 00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:26.757
  • >> well that it's possible, gordon which is why netanyahu
  • 00:05:26.890 --> 00:05:27.458
  • Gordon which is why netanyahu says they're watching
  • 00:05:27.591 --> 00:05:28.025
  • Says they're watching developments closely so far
  • 00:05:28.158 --> 00:05:30.694
  • Developments closely so far physically they're a long way
  • 00:05:30.828 --> 00:05:31.395
  • Physically they're a long way from israel's border but if
  • 00:05:31.528 --> 00:05:34.398
  • From israel's border but if they ever get close to the
  • 00:05:34.531 --> 00:05:35.065
  • They ever get close to the border.
  • 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:35.399
  • Border. these are enemies of israel.
  • 00:05:35.532 --> 00:05:36.099
  • These are enemies of israel. these are jihadist groups who
  • 00:05:36.233 --> 00:05:38.435
  • These are jihadist groups who want to destroy israel just
  • 00:05:38.569 --> 00:05:39.136
  • Want to destroy israel just like the syrian regime and
  • 00:05:39.269 --> 00:05:41.538
  • Like the syrian regime and jordan has lots of geopolitics
  • 00:05:41.672 --> 00:05:42.272
  • Jordan has lots of geopolitics going on here.
  • 00:05:42.406 --> 00:05:42.739
  • Going on here. some of the puppet are here.
  • 00:05:42.873 --> 00:05:45.576
  • Some of the puppet are here. one the one hand turkey is
  • 00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:46.310
  • One the one hand turkey is behind these jihadi groups
  • 00:05:46.443 --> 00:05:49.480
  • Behind these jihadi groups threatening the syrian regime.
  • 00:05:49.613 --> 00:05:50.214
  • Threatening the syrian regime. on the other hand, iran
  • 00:05:50.347 --> 00:05:53.183
  • On the other hand, iran fighting to keep the assad
  • 00:05:53.317 --> 00:05:53.851
  • Fighting to keep the assad regime alive.
  • 00:05:53.984 --> 00:05:54.284
  • Regime alive. the reason syria is a key part
  • 00:05:54.418 --> 00:05:56.954
  • The reason syria is a key part of their regional strategy
  • 00:05:57.087 --> 00:05:57.621
  • Of their regional strategy gives them a land to lebanon.
  • 00:05:57.754 --> 00:06:00.691
  • Gives them a land to lebanon. also russia is fighting its
  • 00:06:00.824 --> 00:06:01.391
  • Also russia is fighting its ally with its ally syrian and
  • 00:06:01.525 --> 00:06:04.795
  • Ally with its ally syrian and and then they're fighting for
  • 00:06:04.928 --> 00:06:05.529
  • And then they're fighting for their own east here.
  • 00:06:05.662 --> 00:06:09.299
  • Their own east here. so it looks like there's a lot
  • 00:06:09.433 --> 00:06:10.167
  • So it looks like there's a lot of fighting ahead with syria as
  • 00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:10.934
  • Of fighting ahead with syria as the battleground for all these
  • 00:06:11.068 --> 00:06:13.170
  • The battleground for all these actors from an israeli
  • 00:06:13.303 --> 00:06:13.770
  • Actors from an israeli perspective.
  • 00:06:13.904 --> 00:06:14.171
  • Perspective. gordon both sides are enemies
  • 00:06:14.304 --> 00:06:16.640
  • Gordon both sides are enemies of the jewish state and some
  • 00:06:16.773 --> 00:06:17.341
  • Of the jewish state and some here are quoting the late
  • 00:06:17.474 --> 00:06:18.008
  • Here are quoting the late israeli minister menachem begin
  • 00:06:18.141 --> 00:06:19.877
  • Israeli minister menachem begin back in the 1980s when iraq and
  • 00:06:20.010 --> 00:06:23.013
  • Back in the 1980s when iraq and iran were fighting.
  • 00:06:23.146 --> 00:06:23.547

  • 00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:27.351
  • He said we wish great success to both sides and.
  • 00:06:27.484 --> 00:06:30.821
  • To both sides and. and finally, you know, these
  • 00:06:30.954 --> 00:06:31.522
  • And finally, you know, these rebels do pose a threat to
  • 00:06:31.655 --> 00:06:32.222
  • Rebels do pose a threat to christians there in, aleppo and
  • 00:06:32.356 --> 00:06:34.825
  • Christians there in, aleppo and other places in syria.
  • 00:06:34.958 --> 00:06:35.459
  • Other places in syria. why christians really need to
  • 00:06:35.592 --> 00:06:36.226
  • Why christians really need to pray for their and sisters that
  • 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.795
  • Pray for their and sisters that are in harm's way.
  • 00:06:38.929 --> 00:06:39.363
  • Are in harm's way. >> is israel's over hezbollah
  • 00:06:39.496 --> 00:06:41.932
  • >> is israel's over hezbollah the destruction of its
  • 00:06:42.065 --> 00:06:42.533
  • The destruction of its leadership, all the elimination
  • 00:06:42.666 --> 00:06:46.169
  • Leadership, all the elimination of all the weapons, even the
  • 00:06:46.303 --> 00:06:46.904
  • Of all the weapons, even the attack against iranian forces
  • 00:06:47.037 --> 00:06:50.040
  • Attack against iranian forces that are allied with hezbollah
  • 00:06:50.173 --> 00:06:53.443
  • That are allied with hezbollah inside syria is all of that
  • 00:06:53.577 --> 00:06:54.211
  • Inside syria is all of that given an advantage this islamic
  • 00:06:54.344 --> 00:06:57.781
  • Given an advantage this islamic group?
  • 00:06:57.915 --> 00:06:58.081
  • Group? >> it's a point, gordon.
  • 00:06:58.215 --> 00:07:01.051
  • >> it's a point, gordon. it really has it's left a
  • 00:07:01.184 --> 00:07:01.985
  • It really has it's left a vacuum inside syria.
  • 00:07:02.119 --> 00:07:04.855
  • Vacuum inside syria. hezbollah was one of the main
  • 00:07:04.988 --> 00:07:07.891
  • Hezbollah was one of the main forces supporting the assad
  • 00:07:08.025 --> 00:07:08.559
  • Forces supporting the assad regime and now that they're out
  • 00:07:08.692 --> 00:07:11.395
  • Regime and now that they're out of the way, a very reduced
  • 00:07:11.528 --> 00:07:12.262
  • Of the way, a very reduced fighting force that did leave
  • 00:07:12.396 --> 00:07:15.232
  • Fighting force that did leave the vacuum an opportunity for
  • 00:07:15.365 --> 00:07:18.802
  • The vacuum an opportunity for these two islamic armies backed
  • 00:07:18.936 --> 00:07:19.570
  • These two islamic armies backed by turkey on their way down.
  • 00:07:19.703 --> 00:07:22.306
  • By turkey on their way down. so it was an offensive that
  • 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:23.106
  • So it was an offensive that took a lot of people by
  • 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.143
  • Took a lot of people by surprise.
  • 00:07:26.276 --> 00:07:26.510
  • Surprise. but hezbollah being such a
  • 00:07:26.643 --> 00:07:27.177
  • But hezbollah being such a degraded force really has left
  • 00:07:27.311 --> 00:07:30.280
  • Degraded force really has left a vacuum and an opportunity for
  • 00:07:30.414 --> 00:07:31.048
  • A vacuum and an opportunity for these jihadist groups.
  • 00:07:31.181 --> 00:07:34.084
  • These jihadist groups. >> give us some insight into
  • 00:07:34.217 --> 00:07:34.885
  • >> give us some insight into the ideology.
  • 00:07:35.018 --> 00:07:35.319
  • The ideology. you know, point it was
  • 00:07:35.452 --> 00:07:38.255
  • You know, point it was publicized that isis was trying
  • 00:07:38.388 --> 00:07:39.022
  • Publicized that isis was trying to have a direct assault on
  • 00:07:39.156 --> 00:07:42.259
  • To have a direct assault on jerusalem that that was part of
  • 00:07:42.392 --> 00:07:43.060
  • Jerusalem that that was part of their core ideology.
  • 00:07:43.193 --> 00:07:45.963
  • Their core ideology. they're also being backed by
  • 00:07:46.096 --> 00:07:46.697
  • They're also being backed by turkey.
  • 00:07:46.830 --> 00:07:47.030
  • Turkey. erdogan has this dream of
  • 00:07:47.164 --> 00:07:50.000
  • Erdogan has this dream of restoring the ottoman empire
  • 00:07:50.133 --> 00:07:50.701
  • Restoring the ottoman empire and becoming kind of caliphate.
  • 00:07:50.834 --> 00:07:54.304
  • And becoming kind of caliphate. >> is all of that play in this
  • 00:07:54.438 --> 00:07:57.474
  • >> is all of that play in this current crisis?
  • 00:07:57.608 --> 00:08:01.144
  • Current crisis? >> yeah.
  • 00:08:01.278 --> 00:08:01.578
  • >> yeah. erdogan's dream is to come here
  • 00:08:01.712 --> 00:08:02.446
  • Erdogan's dream is to come here to take over jerusalem.
  • 00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:05.182
  • To take over jerusalem. i mean this was once an ottoman
  • 00:08:05.315 --> 00:08:07.884
  • I mean this was once an ottoman of the ottoman empire.
  • 00:08:08.018 --> 00:08:08.452
  • Of the ottoman empire. he sees himself as you know,
  • 00:08:08.585 --> 00:08:11.922
  • He sees himself as you know, successor to those sultans in
  • 00:08:12.055 --> 00:08:12.656
  • Successor to those sultans in in the ottoman empire.
  • 00:08:12.789 --> 00:08:15.993
  • In the ottoman empire. and i think the ultimate goal
  • 00:08:16.126 --> 00:08:16.827
  • And i think the ultimate goal will be jerusalem but short
  • 00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:19.329
  • Will be jerusalem but short term goal hopefully for these
  • 00:08:19.463 --> 00:08:20.030
  • Term goal hopefully for these jihadist groups would be
  • 00:08:20.163 --> 00:08:20.664
  • Jihadist groups would be damascus and the overthrow of
  • 00:08:20.797 --> 00:08:23.567
  • Damascus and the overthrow of the syrian regime that would
  • 00:08:23.700 --> 00:08:24.301
  • The syrian regime that would open the way here to israel's
  • 00:08:24.434 --> 00:08:27.437
  • Open the way here to israel's border.
  • 00:08:27.571 --> 00:08:27.771
  • Border. so that's all part of their
  • 00:08:27.904 --> 00:08:30.974
  • So that's all part of their islamist theology, an ideology
  • 00:08:31.108 --> 00:08:34.945
  • Islamist theology, an ideology that's what they want.
  • 00:08:35.078 --> 00:08:35.545
  • That's what they want. they want to come here to
  • 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.246
  • They want to come here to jerusalem and reestablish that
  • 00:08:36.380 --> 00:08:39.116
  • Jerusalem and reestablish that caliphate that that once ruled
  • 00:08:39.249 --> 00:08:39.883
  • Caliphate that that once ruled this area is hamas.
  • 00:08:40.017 --> 00:08:43.387
  • This area is hamas. >> you know, turning to the
  • 00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:44.254
  • >> you know, turning to the hostage crisis and i just want
  • 00:08:44.388 --> 00:08:45.022
  • Hostage crisis and i just want to remind everyone there are
  • 00:08:45.155 --> 00:08:47.457
  • To remind everyone there are americans being held hostage by
  • 00:08:47.591 --> 00:08:48.225
  • Americans being held hostage by hamas.
  • 00:08:48.358 --> 00:08:48.525
  • Hamas. are are they now ready for a
  • 00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:51.828
  • Are are they now ready for a cease fire deal or are they
  • 00:08:51.962 --> 00:08:52.663
  • Cease fire deal or are they willing to release the
  • 00:08:52.796 --> 00:08:55.332
  • Willing to release the hostages?
  • 00:08:55.465 --> 00:08:55.699
  • Hostages? >> well, there's hope, gordon,
  • 00:08:55.832 --> 00:08:59.536
  • >> well, there's hope, gordon, about that that they'll stop at
  • 00:08:59.670 --> 00:09:00.337
  • About that that they'll stop at its demands now that hezbollah
  • 00:09:00.470 --> 00:09:03.040
  • Its demands now that hezbollah has reached a cease fire.
  • 00:09:03.173 --> 00:09:03.774
  • Has reached a cease fire. you know, hezbollah had
  • 00:09:03.907 --> 00:09:04.374
  • You know, hezbollah had promised that they're going to
  • 00:09:04.508 --> 00:09:05.108
  • Promised that they're going to continue fighting until the war
  • 00:09:05.242 --> 00:09:06.710
  • Continue fighting until the war in gaza was over.
  • 00:09:06.843 --> 00:09:07.210
  • In gaza was over. but that's they didn't happen.
  • 00:09:07.344 --> 00:09:10.480
  • But that's they didn't happen. so now hamas is basically on
  • 00:09:10.614 --> 00:09:11.281
  • So now hamas is basically on their own.
  • 00:09:11.415 --> 00:09:11.682
  • Their own. but as far as we know, hamas
  • 00:09:11.815 --> 00:09:14.951
  • But as far as we know, hamas still wants their demands to be
  • 00:09:15.085 --> 00:09:15.719
  • Still wants their demands to be met.
  • 00:09:15.852 --> 00:09:15.986
  • Met. but for the idf pull out of
  • 00:09:16.119 --> 00:09:18.622
  • But for the idf pull out of gaza, they want to play a role
  • 00:09:18.755 --> 00:09:19.423
  • Gaza, they want to play a role in the future of gaza.
  • 00:09:19.556 --> 00:09:20.023
  • In the future of gaza. those are nonstarters for
  • 00:09:21.958 --> 00:09:22.726
  • Those are nonstarters for israel and as we have said
  • 00:09:22.859 --> 00:09:23.427
  • Israel and as we have said many, many times the three
  • 00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:26.396
  • Many, many times the three goals of the war for israel
  • 00:09:26.530 --> 00:09:27.097
  • Goals of the war for israel defeat hamas not, allow it to
  • 00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:29.800
  • Defeat hamas not, allow it to govern gaza after the war and
  • 00:09:29.933 --> 00:09:30.500
  • Govern gaza after the war and free the hostages.
  • 00:09:30.634 --> 00:09:31.001
  • Free the hostages. and on another note, senator
  • 00:09:31.134 --> 00:09:33.804
  • And on another note, senator lindsey graham says he's been
  • 00:09:33.937 --> 00:09:34.571
  • Lindsey graham says he's been in touch with president trump
  • 00:09:34.705 --> 00:09:37.708
  • In touch with president trump and has told israelis he would
  • 00:09:37.841 --> 00:09:38.475
  • And has told israelis he would like a gaza cease fire deal
  • 00:09:38.608 --> 00:09:41.611
  • Like a gaza cease fire deal before his inauguration.
  • 00:09:41.745 --> 00:09:42.212
  • Before his inauguration. he's focused on the hostages.
  • 00:09:42.345 --> 00:09:42.913
  • He's focused on the hostages. issue whether or not that can
  • 00:09:45.048 --> 00:09:45.982
  • Issue whether or not that can happen by january 20/20.
  • 00:09:46.116 --> 00:09:48.351
  • Happen by january 20/20. remains to be seen if hamas
  • 00:09:48.485 --> 00:09:49.386
  • Remains to be seen if hamas continues its demands.
  • 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.622
  • Continues its demands. >> well, let's hope for peace.
  • 00:09:52.756 --> 00:09:53.356
  • >> well, let's hope for peace. at the same time i think we
  • 00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:56.693
  • At the same time i think we need to be pragmatic.
  • 00:09:56.827 --> 00:09:57.294
  • Need to be pragmatic. >> is this the potential for
  • 00:09:57.427 --> 00:09:59.930
  • >> is this the potential for cease fire for both hamas and.
  • 00:10:00.063 --> 00:10:03.400
  • Cease fire for both hamas and. >> is it just allowing them a
  • 00:10:03.533 --> 00:10:04.267
  • >> is it just allowing them a chance to reload?
  • 00:10:04.401 --> 00:10:07.504
  • Chance to reload? you know, there is an islamic
  • 00:10:07.637 --> 00:10:08.472
  • You know, there is an islamic concept called a hudna which is
  • 00:10:08.605 --> 00:10:12.142
