- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- Restoring the ottoman empire and becoming kind of caliphate.
- 00:07:50.834 --> 00:07:54.304

- 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

- 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

- 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
- Concept called a hudna which is a temporary cease fire and the
- 00:10:12.275 --> 00:10:13.009
- A temporary cease fire and the cease fire in and these islamic
- 00:10:13.143 --> 00:10:16.113
- Cease fire in and these islamic terms is that there would be a
- 00:10:16.246 --> 00:10:17.013
- Terms is that there would be a temporary cease fire allowing
- 00:10:17.147 --> 00:10:19.750
- Temporary cease fire allowing both hezbollah and hamas or any
- 00:10:19.883 --> 00:10:23.286
- Both hezbollah and hamas or any islamic group for that matter
- 00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:24.020
- Islamic group for that matter to rebuild, to rearm and then
- 00:10:24.154 --> 00:10:24.788
- To rebuild, to rearm and then strengthen when they can come
- 00:10:24.921 --> 00:10:27.958
- Strengthen when they can come back and fight their enemy once
- 00:10:28.091 --> 00:10:28.825
- Back and fight their enemy once again.
- 00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:30.627
- Again. so while hezbollah has been
- 00:10:30.761 --> 00:10:31.561
- So while hezbollah has been defeated in a great part as
- 00:10:31.695 --> 00:10:35.065
- Defeated in a great part as well as hamas is still seems
- 00:10:35.198 --> 00:10:38.735
- Well as hamas is still seems their ideology, they want to
- 00:10:38.869 --> 00:10:39.469
- Their ideology, they want to have a temporary cease and then
- 00:10:39.603 --> 00:10:41.938
- Have a temporary cease and then come back their goals to defeat
- 00:10:42.072 --> 00:10:42.706
- Come back their goals to defeat kill jews and defeat the jewish
- 00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:46.209
- Kill jews and defeat the jewish state.
