- So chris, goal to conquer gaza now hold the territories.
- 00:04:00.253 --> 00:04:00.787
- Now hold the territories. this is a really big shift in
- 00:04:00.921 --> 00:04:04.257
- This is a really big shift in israel's strategy.
- 00:04:04.391 --> 00:04:04.758
- Israel's strategy. >> what are the risks to this?
- 00:04:04.891 --> 00:04:07.260
- >> what are the risks to this? >> well, it's a very big shift
- 00:04:07.394 --> 00:04:08.128
- >> well, it's a very big shift right now, gordon, because
- 00:04:08.261 --> 00:04:11.298
- Right now, gordon, because since the beginning of the war
- 00:04:11.431 --> 00:04:12.032
- Since the beginning of the war the previous strategy has been
- 00:04:12.165 --> 00:04:12.799
- The previous strategy has been based on special operations
- 00:04:12.933 --> 00:04:15.135
- Based on special operations clear an area but then leave it
- 00:04:15.268 --> 00:04:15.936
- Clear an area but then leave it and that's why some troops have
- 00:04:16.069 --> 00:04:18.872
- And that's why some troops have literally captured areas
- 00:04:19.005 --> 00:04:19.506
- Literally captured areas multiple times.
- 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:19.973
- Multiple times. so the strategy divide and rule
- 00:04:20.107 --> 00:04:22.476
- So the strategy divide and rule clear the territory but remain
- 00:04:22.609 --> 00:04:26.747
- Clear the territory but remain and not allow hamas back in.
- 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:27.514
- And not allow hamas back in. so it's a dramatic change.
- 00:04:27.647 --> 00:04:30.050
- So it's a dramatic change. the idea of controls right now
- 00:04:30.183 --> 00:04:30.917
- The idea of controls right now about 30% of gaza they want to
- 00:04:31.051 --> 00:04:31.885
- About 30% of gaza they want to destroy hamas infrastructure,
- 00:04:32.018 --> 00:04:33.987
- Destroy hamas infrastructure, eliminate hamas as a threat and
- 00:04:34.121 --> 00:04:36.990
- Eliminate hamas as a threat and push hamas and the population
- 00:04:37.124 --> 00:04:37.724
- Push hamas and the population into humanitarian zones.
- 00:04:37.858 --> 00:04:41.495
- Into humanitarian zones. and this hopefully will
- 00:04:41.628 --> 00:04:42.162
- And this hopefully will pressure hamas to release the
- 00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:42.863
- Pressure hamas to release the hostages.
- 00:04:42.996 --> 00:04:45.198
- Hostages. what are the risks?
- 00:04:45.332 --> 00:04:45.766
- What are the risks? well, you have combatants in
- 00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:46.500
- Well, you have combatants in harm's way now up to 60,000 and
- 00:04:46.633 --> 00:04:49.469
- Harm's way now up to 60,000 and you have tens of thousands of
- 00:04:49.603 --> 00:04:50.237
- You have tens of thousands of those are reservists that pays
- 00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:53.673

- 00:04:53.807 --> 00:04:54.341

- Businesses, jobs. also civilian casualties.
- 00:04:56.710 --> 00:04:57.377
- Also civilian casualties. hamas uses their own population
- 00:04:57.511 --> 00:05:01.081
- Hamas uses their own population as human shields and obviously
- 00:05:01.214 --> 00:05:01.782
- As human shields and obviously it poses a risk to the hostages
- 00:05:01.915 --> 00:05:05.385
- It poses a risk to the hostages .
- 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:05.619
- . will hamas yield and release
- 00:05:05.752 --> 00:05:06.286
- Will hamas yield and release them or god forbid kill them?
- 00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:09.322
- Them or god forbid kill them? the idf chief did say along
- 00:05:09.456 --> 00:05:10.090
- The idf chief did say along with this plan they could lose
- 00:05:10.223 --> 00:05:13.360
- With this plan they could lose some of the hostages.
- 00:05:13.493 --> 00:05:13.927

- They would choose peace, all of these things.
- 00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:40.720
- These things. so it seems to be a complete
- 00:05:40.854 --> 00:05:41.588
- So it seems to be a complete repudiation of that withdrawal.
- 00:05:41.721 --> 00:05:44.925
- Repudiation of that withdrawal. are they planning to hold it
- 00:05:45.058 --> 00:05:45.792
- Are they planning to hold it temporary early or is this a
- 00:05:45.926 --> 00:05:49.162
- Temporary early or is this a long term strategy?
- 00:05:49.296 --> 00:05:52.232
- Long term strategy? >> gordon i think it's a long
- 00:05:52.365 --> 00:05:53.099
- >> gordon i think it's a long term strategy that.
- 00:05:53.233 --> 00:05:55.735
- Term strategy that. they would hold gaza and
- 00:05:55.869 --> 00:05:56.403
- They would hold gaza and control it and we'll see what
- 00:05:56.536 --> 00:05:57.237
- Control it and we'll see what happens after that.
- 00:05:57.370 --> 00:06:00.674
- Happens after that. if they can achieve that total
- 00:06:00.807 --> 00:06:01.441
- If they can achieve that total control of the gaza strip.
- 00:06:01.575 --> 00:06:04.110
- Control of the gaza strip. but i think this is a long term
- 00:06:04.244 --> 00:06:05.045
- But i think this is a long term strategy that they hope will
- 00:06:05.178 --> 00:06:05.779
- Strategy that they hope will put the pressure on hamas and
- 00:06:05.912 --> 00:06:07.848
- Put the pressure on hamas and stop this you know, going over
- 00:06:07.981 --> 00:06:11.418
- Stop this you know, going over and over a different the same
- 00:06:11.551 --> 00:06:12.152
- And over a different the same territory over and over with
- 00:06:12.285 --> 00:06:14.921
- Territory over and over with these special operations.
- 00:06:15.055 --> 00:06:15.555
- These special operations. and when you refer to sharon as
- 00:06:15.689 --> 00:06:19.259
- And when you refer to sharon as withdrawal, that's such a
- 00:06:19.392 --> 00:06:19.926
- Withdrawal, that's such a tragedy.
- 00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:20.260
- Tragedy. gordon it really led to what we
- 00:06:20.393 --> 00:06:23.363
- Gordon it really led to what we had on october 7th by yielding
- 00:06:23.497 --> 00:06:24.130
- Had on october 7th by yielding the gaza strip which people
- 00:06:24.264 --> 00:06:27.200
- The gaza strip which people thought would be the singapore
- 00:06:27.334 --> 00:06:27.934
- Thought would be the singapore of the mediterranean.
- 00:06:28.068 --> 00:06:28.502
- Of the mediterranean. it turned out to be hamas then.
- 00:06:28.635 --> 00:06:31.238
- It turned out to be hamas then. >> well with reservists being
- 00:06:31.371 --> 00:06:35.108
- >> well with reservists being called up, what's the reaction
- 00:06:35.242 --> 00:06:35.842
- Called up, what's the reaction from the israeli?
- 00:06:35.976 --> 00:06:38.111
- From the israeli? >> how are they reacting to it?
- 00:06:38.245 --> 00:06:38.979
- >> how are they reacting to it? well, some are objecting
- 00:06:39.112 --> 00:06:41.882
- Well, some are objecting because it puts risk the
- 00:06:42.015 --> 00:06:42.582
- Because it puts risk the hostages.
- 00:06:42.716 --> 00:06:45.619
- Hostages. that's one of the main things
- 00:06:45.752 --> 00:06:46.353
- That's one of the main things that people are saying.
- 00:06:46.486 --> 00:06:46.953
- That people are saying. but there's also groups that
- 00:06:47.087 --> 00:06:49.356
- But there's also groups that like to take the form of
- 00:06:49.489 --> 00:06:50.023
- Like to take the form of hostage families.
- 00:06:50.156 --> 00:06:50.524
- Hostage families. they believe that pressure on
- 00:06:50.657 --> 00:06:52.926
- They believe that pressure on hamas will be the goal to bring
- 00:06:53.059 --> 00:06:53.760
- Hamas will be the goal to bring the hostages.
- 00:06:53.894 --> 00:06:56.596
- The hostages. as i said, it's going to put a
- 00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:57.597
- As i said, it's going to put a greater burden on tens of
- 00:06:57.731 --> 00:06:58.331
- Greater burden on tens of thousands of families.
- 00:06:58.465 --> 00:07:00.300
- Thousands of families. but the new plan actually,
- 00:07:00.433 --> 00:07:00.967
- But the new plan actually, gordon, actually sets clear
- 00:07:01.101 --> 00:07:04.671
- Gordon, actually sets clear strategic goals.
- 00:07:04.804 --> 00:07:05.171
- Strategic goals. they'll probably start
- 00:07:05.305 --> 00:07:05.772
- They'll probably start gradually.
- 00:07:05.906 --> 00:07:08.575
- Gradually. they'll likely begin after
- 00:07:08.708 --> 00:07:09.242
- They'll likely begin after president trump visits the
- 00:07:09.376 --> 00:07:09.910
- President trump visits the region next week.
- 00:07:10.043 --> 00:07:12.212
- Region next week. netanyahu said recently in wars
- 00:07:12.345 --> 00:07:13.013
- Netanyahu said recently in wars you reach a decision which is
- 00:07:13.146 --> 00:07:16.116
- You reach a decision which is victory and i think there has
- 00:07:16.249 --> 00:07:16.883
- Victory and i think there has been a this is part of the
- 00:07:17.017 --> 00:07:17.584
- Been a this is part of the whole change of strategy and
- 00:07:17.717 --> 00:07:20.554
- Whole change of strategy and one amir habib who we talked to
- 00:07:20.687 --> 00:07:21.321
- One amir habib who we talked to in our report he said the
- 00:07:21.454 --> 00:07:23.557
- In our report he said the operation when it gets going is
- 00:07:23.690 --> 00:07:24.357
- Operation when it gets going is going to be vast and decisive.
- 00:07:24.491 --> 00:07:27.594
- Going to be vast and decisive. >> let's turn to the hoody
- 00:07:27.727 --> 00:07:28.361
- >> let's turn to the hoody attack on ben gurion airport.
- 00:07:28.495 --> 00:07:29.095
- Attack on ben gurion airport. was that one of these new
- 00:07:30.764 --> 00:07:31.565
- Was that one of these new missiles that the iranians
- 00:07:31.698 --> 00:07:32.232
- Missiles that the iranians claim evade radars or defensive
- 00:07:32.365 --> 00:07:35.635
- Claim evade radars or defensive systems?
- 00:07:35.769 --> 00:07:39.105
- Systems? is that what this attack was or
- 00:07:39.239 --> 00:07:39.973
- Is that what this attack was or was it a more conventional
- 00:07:40.106 --> 00:07:42.842
- Was it a more conventional ballistic missile?
- 00:07:42.976 --> 00:07:43.376
- Ballistic missile? >> it was more conventional
- 00:07:43.510 --> 00:07:46.947
- >> it was more conventional ballistic missiles and
- 00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:47.547
- Ballistic missiles and apparently the idf says that it
- 00:07:47.681 --> 00:07:50.417
- Apparently the idf says that it was a failure of the
- 00:07:50.550 --> 00:07:50.984
- Was a failure of the interceptor to work.
- 00:07:51.117 --> 00:07:51.551
- Interceptor to work. actually intercepted of the
- 00:07:51.685 --> 00:07:53.920
- Actually intercepted of the last 27 ballistic missiles
- 00:07:54.054 --> 00:07:58.124
- Last 27 ballistic missiles fired by the houthis they've
- 00:07:58.258 --> 00:07:58.925
- Fired by the houthis they've intercepted 26 of them.
- 00:07:59.059 --> 00:08:00.794
- Intercepted 26 of them. when i was there yesterday,
- 00:08:00.927 --> 00:08:01.528
- When i was there yesterday, gordon, you know the 27th that
- 00:08:01.661 --> 00:08:05.332
- Gordon, you know the 27th that actually made it through was so
- 00:08:05.465 --> 00:08:08.401
- Actually made it through was so close to the airport were
- 00:08:08.535 --> 00:08:09.069
- Close to the airport were literally just like a few
- 00:08:09.202 --> 00:08:09.736
- Literally just like a few football fields away.
- 00:08:09.869 --> 00:08:12.205
- Football fields away. it could have been far worse if
- 00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:13.106
- It could have been far worse if it really hit the terminal and
- 00:08:13.239 --> 00:08:16.376
- It really hit the terminal and the runways are god forbid
- 00:08:16.509 --> 00:08:17.043
- The runways are god forbid one of the airplanes.
- 00:08:17.177 --> 00:08:17.611
- One of the airplanes. >> and so the of the houthi is
- 00:08:17.744 --> 00:08:20.513
- >> and so the of the houthi is obviously to shut down the
- 00:08:20.647 --> 00:08:21.214
- Obviously to shut down the airport.
- 00:08:21.348 --> 00:08:21.548
- Airport. they succeeded for a few hours
- 00:08:21.681 --> 00:08:24.551
- They succeeded for a few hours and but it has a long term
- 00:08:24.684 --> 00:08:25.318
- And but it has a long term impact on the international
- 00:08:25.452 --> 00:08:27.554
- Impact on the international flights, especially on tourism
- 00:08:27.687 --> 00:08:28.288
- Flights, especially on tourism which is the economic lifeline
- 00:08:28.421 --> 00:08:31.858
- Which is the economic lifeline of israel.
- 00:08:31.992 --> 00:08:32.258
- Of israel. and we'll see what happens.
- 00:08:32.392 --> 00:08:32.993
- And we'll see what happens. and i also found out that you
- 00:08:33.126 --> 00:08:35.495
- And i also found out that you know people have asked how can
- 00:08:35.629 --> 00:08:36.262
- Know people have asked how can they still fire missiles after
- 00:08:36.396 --> 00:08:39.199
- They still fire missiles after the us campaign for many weeks
- 00:08:39.332 --> 00:08:39.966
- The us campaign for many weeks and apparently the houthis have
- 00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:43.103
- And apparently the houthis have been hiding mobile launchers
- 00:08:43.236 --> 00:08:43.803
- Been hiding mobile launchers for years in the desert and the
- 00:08:43.937 --> 00:08:46.406
- For years in the desert and the apparently that's how they've
- 00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:47.107
- Apparently that's how they've been able to fire these in the
- 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:47.874
- Been able to fire these in the last few weeks.
- 00:08:48.008 --> 00:08:48.341
- Last few weeks. >> any prediction on the
- 00:08:48.475 --> 00:08:50.710
- >> any prediction on the israeli response?
- 00:08:50.844 --> 00:08:51.211
- Israeli response? >> how will they will how are
- 00:08:51.344 --> 00:08:54.514
- >> how will they will how are they will respond to the
- 00:08:54.648 --> 00:08:55.148
- They will respond to the attack?
- 00:08:55.281 --> 00:08:55.482
- Attack? >> well i think three ways
- 00:08:55.615 --> 00:08:57.917
- >> well i think three ways perhaps sabotage inside iran
- 00:08:58.051 --> 00:08:58.652
- Perhaps sabotage inside iran covert actions also pinpointing
- 00:08:58.785 --> 00:09:01.821
- Covert actions also pinpointing strikes against the houthis and
- 00:09:01.955 --> 00:09:05.792
- Strikes against the houthis and finally diplomatic pressure.
- 00:09:05.925 --> 00:09:06.493
- Finally diplomatic pressure. gordon, i think this may be you
- 00:09:06.626 --> 00:09:09.596
- Gordon, i think this may be you know, gives the lie to some
- 00:09:09.729 --> 00:09:10.363
- Know, gives the lie to some people here about these us
- 00:09:10.497 --> 00:09:13.500
- People here about these us iranian talks and maybe people
- 00:09:13.633 --> 00:09:14.234
- Iranian talks and maybe people will see they may be futile as
- 00:09:14.367 --> 00:09:18.038
- Will see they may be futile as iran continues to feed its
- 00:09:18.171 --> 00:09:21.207
- Iran continues to feed its houthies with icbms.
- 00:09:21.341 --> 00:09:21.775
- Houthies with icbms. >> well, chris thanks so much

- Propaganda campaign coming out of the palestinians, out of
- 00:09:37.257 --> 00:09:40.527
- Of the palestinians, out of hamas and it's talking about
- 00:09:40.660 --> 00:09:43.763
- Hamas and it's talking about how can you support genocide of
- 00:09:43.897 --> 00:09:44.631
- How can you support genocide of children?
- 00:09:44.764 --> 00:09:44.998
- Children? the the aid workers the health

- An israeli strike. all of these things and my
- 00:09:52.405 --> 00:09:55.475
- All of these things and my response to all of that
- 00:09:55.608 --> 00:09:56.109
- Response to all of that critique is hamas started and
- 00:09:56.242 --> 00:09:59.579
- Critique is hamas started and it started it horrifically on
- 00:09:59.713 --> 00:10:00.413
- It started it horrifically on october the massacre, the
- 00:10:00.547 --> 00:10:03.383
- October the massacre, the brutalization of dead bodies,
- 00:10:03.516 --> 00:10:07.053

- Hostages. >> the answer to the
- 00:10:14.194 --> 00:10:14.794
- >> the answer to the humanitarian cry crisis is for
- 00:10:14.928 --> 00:10:15.528
- Humanitarian cry crisis is for hamas lay down their arms and
- 00:10:15.662 --> 00:10:18.598
- Hamas lay down their arms and unconditionally surrender and
- 00:10:18.732 --> 00:10:22.068
- Unconditionally surrender and turn back all of the hostages.
- 00:10:22.202 --> 00:10:22.802
- Turn back all of the hostages. without that there won't peace
- 00:10:22.936 --> 00:10:25.972
- Without that there won't peace in gaza and israel has an
- 00:10:26.106 --> 00:10:26.740
- In gaza and israel has an absolute right to defend and to
- 00:10:26.873 --> 00:10:29.876
- Absolute right to defend and to go and retrieve their citizens
- 00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:33.413
- Go and retrieve their citizens who have been taken hostage.

- The blame entirely is on hamas. before october israel was
- 00:10:37.650 --> 00:10:41.254
- Before october israel was living at peace.
- 00:10:41.387 --> 00:10:41.755
- Living at peace. there wasn't weren't any troops
- 00:10:41.888 --> 00:10:44.891
- There wasn't weren't any troops deployed in gaza.
- 00:10:45.024 --> 00:10:45.391
- Deployed in gaza. none of this was happening and
- 00:10:45.525 --> 00:10:48.762
- None of this was happening and hamas is the one that started
- 00:10:48.895 --> 00:10:49.496
- Hamas is the one that started it.
- 00:10:49.629 --> 00:10:49.763

- Their swords and right hands of the water so that they can
- 00:49:26.137 --> 00:49:26.704
- The water so that they can continue to kill people.
- 00:49:26.838 --> 00:49:29.640
- Continue to kill people. and that was the beginning of
- 00:49:29.774 --> 00:49:30.408
- And that was the beginning of what we now call the russian
- 00:49:30.541 --> 00:49:31.242
- What we now call the russian orthodox church and that
- 00:49:31.376 --> 00:49:33.878
- Orthodox church and that beginning was in kiev.
- 00:49:34.011 --> 00:49:34.479
- Beginning was in kiev. so over time moscow became the
- 00:49:34.612 --> 00:49:41.419

- 00:49:54.665 --> 00:49:57.769
- >> so here we have behind it and national boundaries behind
- 00:49:57.902 --> 00:50:01.572
- And national boundaries behind and part of the politics was
- 00:50:01.706 --> 00:50:02.306
- And part of the politics was the formation of the ukrainian
- 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:04.942

- 00:50:10.014 --> 00:50:12.750
- Fall of the the soviet union and they wanted their
- 00:50:12.884 --> 00:50:13.351

- 00:50:31.369 --> 00:50:31.869
- That somehow or other the ukrainian orthodox is spying
- 00:50:32.003 --> 00:50:35.239

- Allegiance back to moscow. they aren't really part of
- 00:50:39.911 --> 00:50:42.780

- 00:50:42.914 --> 00:50:43.514
- Ukraine and so that's why you see that persecuted on the
- 00:50:43.648 --> 00:50:47.418

- So it's happening on both sides but it's politics behind it and
- 00:51:03.100 --> 00:51:06.037
- But it's politics behind it and some allegation that somehow or
- 00:51:06.170 --> 00:51:06.804
