  • They have stopped the shaheed, the martyr payments that there
  • 00:05:25.702 --> 00:05:29.139
  • The martyr payments that there .
  • 00:05:29.273 --> 00:05:29.373
  • . there are no longer going to be
  • 00:05:29.506 --> 00:05:30.207
  • There are no longer going to be funding individuals who commit
  • 00:05:30.340 --> 00:05:32.876
  • Funding individuals who commit terrorist acts in israel.
  • 00:05:33.010 --> 00:05:33.544
  • Terrorist acts in israel. >> is that to to be believed.
  • 00:05:33.677 --> 00:05:37.047
  • >> is that to to be believed. >> is that really going to
  • 00:05:37.181 --> 00:05:37.948
  • >> is that really going to happen?
  • 00:05:38.081 --> 00:05:40.184
  • Happen? >> i doubt that.
  • 00:05:40.317 --> 00:05:40.717
  • >> i doubt that. you know, we have heard that in
  • 00:05:40.851 --> 00:05:43.487
  • You know, we have heard that in gordon where they say they have
  • 00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:44.254
  • Gordon where they say they have stopped the pay to slay program
  • 00:05:44.388 --> 00:05:47.724
  • Stopped the pay to slay program but actually the payments that
  • 00:05:47.858 --> 00:05:48.492
  • But actually the payments that go to the palestinian are
  • 00:05:48.625 --> 00:05:51.829
  • Go to the palestinian are authority they're fungible.
  • 00:05:51.962 --> 00:05:52.496
  • Authority they're fungible. they can go into one account
  • 00:05:52.629 --> 00:05:54.798
  • They can go into one account and then be used for another
  • 00:05:54.932 --> 00:05:55.532
  • And then be used for another account.
  • 00:05:55.666 --> 00:05:55.866
  • Account. so it seems like what they have
  • 00:05:55.999 --> 00:05:59.369
  • So it seems like what they have done in the past is really sort
  • 00:05:59.503 --> 00:06:00.204
  • Done in the past is really sort of just maybe like a shell game
  • 00:06:00.337 --> 00:06:02.873
  • Of just maybe like a shell game just moving around the funds.
  • 00:06:03.006 --> 00:06:03.607
  • Just moving around the funds. they to make sure that the pay
  • 00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:06.810
  • They to make sure that the pay to slay program continue now
  • 00:06:06.944 --> 00:06:10.380
  • To slay program continue now the the pathway to a
  • 00:06:10.514 --> 00:06:11.014
  • The the pathway to a palestinian state has on it and
  • 00:06:11.148 --> 00:06:14.485
  • Palestinian state has on it and it says that it has to be
  • 00:06:14.618 --> 00:06:15.252
  • It says that it has to be reformed.
  • 00:06:15.385 --> 00:06:15.619
  • Reformed. but you know it's more marcus
  • 00:06:17.621 --> 00:06:18.455
  • But you know it's more marcus was telling us in the past they
  • 00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:21.525
  • Was telling us in the past they a promise to reform in the past
  • 00:06:21.658 --> 00:06:22.392
  • A promise to reform in the past and it hasn't happened even
  • 00:06:22.526 --> 00:06:25.762
  • And it hasn't happened even since the oslo accords back in
  • 00:06:25.896 --> 00:06:28.398
  • Since the oslo accords back in 1993.
  • 00:06:28.532 --> 00:06:28.699
  • 1993. >> does the palestinians
  • 00:06:28.832 --> 00:06:29.333
  • >> does the palestinians understand the more they they
  • 00:06:29.466 --> 00:06:32.603
  • Understand the more they they engage in this kind of
  • 00:06:32.736 --> 00:06:33.237
  • Engage in this kind of behavior, the more they engage
  • 00:06:33.370 --> 00:06:36.306
  • Behavior, the more they engage in terrorism?
  • 00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:36.740
  • In terrorism? it actually defeats them the
  • 00:06:36.874 --> 00:06:39.710
  • It actually defeats them the long, long haul that israel
  • 00:06:39.843 --> 00:06:40.444
  • Long, long haul that israel just can't stand for that.
  • 00:06:40.577 --> 00:06:43.614
  • Just can't stand for that. >> they've got to crack down if
  • 00:06:43.747 --> 00:06:44.581
  • >> they've got to crack down if you're going hostages, we have
  • 00:06:44.715 --> 00:06:47.618
  • You're going hostages, we have to invade you.
  • 00:06:47.751 --> 00:06:48.085
  • To invade you. if you if you're going to have
  • 00:06:48.218 --> 00:06:49.019
  • If you if you're going to have this kind of activity.
  • 00:06:49.152 --> 00:06:51.522
  • This kind of activity. we have to put a stop to it.
  • 00:06:51.655 --> 00:06:52.456
  • We have to put a stop to it. it would seem it would start to
  • 00:06:52.589 --> 00:06:55.459
  • It would seem it would start to dawn on them that that is not a
  • 00:06:55.592 --> 00:06:58.228
  • Dawn on them that that is not a way going forward.
  • 00:06:58.362 --> 00:06:58.762
  • Way going forward. but at the same time does their
  • 00:06:58.896 --> 00:06:59.563
  • But at the same time does their just religion that they do
  • 00:06:59.696 --> 00:07:03.200
  • Just religion that they do this.
  • 00:07:03.333 --> 00:07:03.500
  • This. their their ideology is so that
  • 00:07:03.634 --> 00:07:06.670
  • Their their ideology is so that they have to retake all of
  • 00:07:06.803 --> 00:07:07.538
  • They have to retake all of israel.
  • 00:07:07.671 --> 00:07:10.173
  • Israel. >> i think that's exactly it.
  • 00:07:10.307 --> 00:07:11.041
  • >> i think that's exactly it. gordon it is a religious war.
  • 00:07:11.174 --> 00:07:14.411
  • Gordon it is a religious war. so despite all the the pain
  • 00:07:14.545 --> 00:07:15.178
  • So despite all the the pain that has gone on the people of
  • 00:07:15.312 --> 00:07:18.348
  • That has gone on the people of gaza and despite what's
  • 00:07:18.482 --> 00:07:18.949
  • Gaza and despite what's happening in and samaria and
  • 00:07:19.082 --> 00:07:22.553
  • Happening in and samaria and the west bank at its root this
  • 00:07:22.686 --> 00:07:25.622
  • The west bank at its root this is a religious war.
  • 00:07:25.756 --> 00:07:26.189
  • Is a religious war. this is what allah them to do
  • 00:07:26.323 --> 00:07:29.927
  • This is what allah them to do to kill jews.
  • 00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:30.360
  • To kill jews. they want to retake land has
  • 00:07:30.494 --> 00:07:33.630
  • They want to retake land has once been under the sway of
  • 00:07:33.764 --> 00:07:34.565
  • Once been under the sway of islam which is here in israel.
  • 00:07:34.698 --> 00:07:37.868
  • Islam which is here in israel. it used to be the ottoman
  • 00:07:38.001 --> 00:07:38.635
  • It used to be the ottoman empire.
  • 00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:38.969
  • Empire. and so the religious duty of
  • 00:07:39.102 --> 00:07:41.605
  • And so the religious duty of many and it's really spelled
  • 00:07:41.738 --> 00:07:42.339
  • Many and it's really spelled out in the hamas charter that
  • 00:07:42.472 --> 00:07:45.242
  • Out in the hamas charter that they need to take over this
  • 00:07:45.375 --> 00:07:48.679
  • They need to take over this land.
  • 00:07:48.812 --> 00:07:48.979
  • Land. and so i believe at its root
  • 00:07:49.112 --> 00:07:49.746
  • And so i believe at its root despite all the misgivings, all
  • 00:07:49.880 --> 00:07:52.516
  • Despite all the misgivings, all the things that happen to the
  • 00:07:52.649 --> 00:07:53.350
  • The things that happen to the population, it is a religious
  • 00:07:53.483 --> 00:07:56.286
  • Population, it is a religious war and they feel committed to
  • 00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:57.054
  • War and they feel committed to that.
  • 00:07:57.187 --> 00:07:59.723
  • That. >> well, let's talk about the
  • 00:07:59.856 --> 00:08:00.457
  • >> well, let's talk about the stabilization force.
  • 00:08:00.591 --> 00:08:01.024
  • Stabilization force. i frankly wouldn't volunteer
  • 00:08:01.158 --> 00:08:04.094
  • I frankly wouldn't volunteer for that.
  • 00:08:04.227 --> 00:08:04.461
  • For that. i wouldn't want anyone to
  • 00:08:04.595 --> 00:08:05.162
  • I wouldn't want anyone to volunteer for that.
  • 00:08:05.295 --> 00:08:05.696
  • Volunteer for that. so so what's it going to look
  • 00:08:05.829 --> 00:08:08.332
  • So so what's it going to look like in practice?
  • 00:08:08.465 --> 00:08:08.832
  • Like in practice? you have a civilian population
  • 00:08:08.966 --> 00:08:11.034
  • You have a civilian population been radicalized.
  • 00:08:11.168 --> 00:08:11.535
  • Been radicalized. they believe in terrorism.
  • 00:08:11.668 --> 00:08:12.202
  • They believe in terrorism. they think soldier on their
  • 00:08:12.336 --> 00:08:15.672
  • They think soldier on their soil is an enemy and deserves
  • 00:08:15.806 --> 00:08:19.610
  • Soil is an enemy and deserves to be killed.
  • 00:08:19.743 --> 00:08:20.043
  • To be killed. so so how is that force really
  • 00:08:20.177 --> 00:08:23.447
  • So so how is that force really going to work?
  • 00:08:23.580 --> 00:08:23.914
  • Going to work? >> well, some actually, gordon,
  • 00:08:24.047 --> 00:08:26.984
  • >> well, some actually, gordon, you know that it may be a
  • 00:08:27.117 --> 00:08:27.818
  • You know that it may be a fantasy that that any muslim or
  • 00:08:27.951 --> 00:08:30.988
  • Fantasy that that any muslim or arab nation will disarm hamas
  • 00:08:31.121 --> 00:08:34.024
  • Arab nation will disarm hamas do what you say is to go over
  • 00:08:34.157 --> 00:08:34.992
  • Do what you say is to go over and take over a population
  • 00:08:35.125 --> 00:08:38.061
  • And take over a population that's been radicalized.
  • 00:08:38.195 --> 00:08:38.695
  • That's been radicalized. the idea is that the idf will
  • 00:08:38.829 --> 00:08:39.563
  • The idea is that the idf will progressively withdraw as the
  • 00:08:39.696 --> 00:08:43.000
  • Progressively withdraw as the international stabilization
  • 00:08:43.133 --> 00:08:46.036
  • International stabilization force takes over and they have
  • 00:08:46.169 --> 00:08:46.803
  • Force takes over and they have a whole series of roles that
  • 00:08:46.937 --> 00:08:47.638
  • A whole series of roles that they.
  • 00:08:47.771 --> 00:08:50.273
  • They. but the key is will they be
  • 00:08:50.407 --> 00:08:51.174
  • But the key is will they be able to go ahead come into
  • 00:08:51.308 --> 00:08:53.944
  • Able to go ahead come into maybe almost 2 million gazans
  • 00:08:54.077 --> 00:08:54.678
  • Maybe almost 2 million gazans who have been radicalized for
  • 00:08:54.811 --> 00:08:57.848
  • Who have been radicalized for maybe almost 20 years?
  • 00:08:57.981 --> 00:08:58.482
  • Maybe almost 20 years? will they be able to take them
  • 00:09:00.951 --> 00:09:01.885
  • Will they be able to take them over?
  • 00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:02.185
  • Over? it seems unlikely that any
  • 00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:04.855
  • It seems unlikely that any one of the arab nations muslim
  • 00:09:04.988 --> 00:09:05.589
  • One of the arab nations muslim nations would want to take over
  • 00:09:05.722 --> 00:09:08.925
  • Nations would want to take over that role.
  • 00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:09.292
  • That role. it may go up to the idf to go
  • 00:09:09.426 --> 00:09:12.162
  • It may go up to the idf to go in and take over disarm hamas
  • 00:09:12.295 --> 00:09:12.929
  • In and take over disarm hamas and take over the strip.
  • 00:09:13.063 --> 00:09:16.266
  • And take over the strip. >> if the isf is not able to do
  • 00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:17.567
  • >> if the isf is not able to do that well let's turn to saudi
  • 00:09:17.701 --> 00:09:20.337
  • That well let's turn to saudi arabia.
  • 00:09:20.470 --> 00:09:20.671
  • Arabia. >> they seem to be to long term
  • 00:09:20.804 --> 00:09:23.407
  • >> they seem to be to long term peace.
  • 00:09:23.540 --> 00:09:23.707
  • Peace. >> what's the reaction in
  • 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.210
  • >> what's the reaction in israel to the sale of f-35s?
  • 00:09:27.344 --> 00:09:27.978
  • Israel to the sale of f-35s? >> that's not sure.
  • 00:09:28.111 --> 00:09:30.981
  • >> that's not sure. if i were israel i'd want saudi
  • 00:09:31.114 --> 00:09:31.982
  • If i were israel i'd want saudi arabia to have that kind of
  • 00:09:32.115 --> 00:09:34.718
  • Arabia to have that kind of weapon.
  • 00:09:34.851 --> 00:09:35.052
  • Weapon. >> but is it going to lead to
  • 00:09:35.185 --> 00:09:36.019
  • >> but is it going to lead to recognition.
  • 00:09:36.153 --> 00:09:38.855
  • Recognition. is it going to lead to more
  • 00:09:38.989 --> 00:09:39.823
  • Is it going to lead to more nations participating the
  • 00:09:39.956 --> 00:09:42.259
  • Nations participating the abraham accords?
  • 00:09:42.392 --> 00:09:42.759
  • Abraham accords? >> well, as we heard in report
  • 00:09:42.893 --> 00:09:45.762
  • >> well, as we heard in report ,you know, one expert from the
  • 00:09:45.896 --> 00:09:46.563
  • ,you know, one expert from the ph.d. said you know it should
  • 00:09:46.697 --> 00:09:50.000
  • Ph.d. said you know it should lead to normalization.
  • 00:09:50.133 --> 00:09:50.600
  • Lead to normalization. but it's not just the f-35
  • 00:09:50.734 --> 00:09:53.370
  • But it's not just the f-35 gordon.
  • 00:09:53.503 --> 00:09:53.704
  • Gordon. it's also they want a civilian
  • 00:09:53.837 --> 00:09:54.504
  • It's also they want a civilian nuclear program.
  • 00:09:54.638 --> 00:09:55.005
  • Nuclear program. they want a u.s. security pact
  • 00:09:55.138 --> 00:09:57.607
  • They want a u.s. security pact and nato's style pact.
  • 00:09:57.741 --> 00:09:58.208
  • And nato's style pact. but the question is will it
  • 00:09:58.341 --> 00:10:01.144
  • But the question is will it threaten israel's what they
  • 00:10:01.278 --> 00:10:01.845
  • Threaten israel's what they call kumah that's quality
  • 00:10:01.978 --> 00:10:05.148
  • Call kumah that's quality military edge that was enacted
  • 00:10:05.282 --> 00:10:07.818
  • Military edge that was enacted in law in 2008.
  • 00:10:07.951 --> 00:10:08.285
  • In law in 2008. and what that does that's
  • 00:10:08.418 --> 00:10:08.985
  • And what that does that's supposed to protect israel so
  • 00:10:09.119 --> 00:10:12.055
  • Supposed to protect israel so that any credible conventional
  • 00:10:12.189 --> 00:10:12.789
  • That any credible conventional military threat in the region
  • 00:10:12.923 --> 00:10:16.059
  • Military threat in the region that israel will have the
  • 00:10:16.193 --> 00:10:16.727
  • That israel will have the qualitative edge.
  • 00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:17.227
  • Qualitative edge. but right now the question is
  • 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.197
  • But right now the question is you know, is saudi arabia like
  • 00:10:20.330 --> 00:10:23.667
  • You know, is saudi arabia like it may normalize relations with
  • 00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:24.401
  • It may normalize relations with israel.
  • 00:10:24.534 --> 00:10:24.735
  • Israel. but what happens if you have a
  • 00:10:24.868 --> 00:10:28.105
  • But what happens if you have a saudi regime that changes
  • 00:10:28.238 --> 00:10:28.772
  • Saudi regime that changes leadership that is hostile to
  • 00:10:28.905 --> 00:10:32.209
  • Leadership that is hostile to to israel and it?
  • 00:10:32.342 --> 00:10:35.345
  • To israel and it? it has maybe up to 48 f-35s.
  • 00:10:35.479 --> 00:10:36.246
  • It has maybe up to 48 f-35s. that's the big concern here in
