- Orders from iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps,
- 00:04:50.738 --> 00:04:53.875

- So over to you, mati
- 00:06:01.908 --> 00:06:04.010
- Guys, syria is back on the table
- 00:06:04.010 --> 00:06:08.081
- We just witnessed a very dramatic
- 00:06:08.181 --> 00:06:09.950
- And substantial meeting between president trump and ashaara,
- 00:06:09.950 --> 00:06:14.154
- The leader of syria, the leader of the hts,
- 00:06:14.154 --> 00:06:16.890
- A party or movement
- 00:06:16.890 --> 00:06:18.291
- That has been governing the land of syria.
- 00:06:18.291 --> 00:06:21.261
- And what we're looking at right now, unfold before our eyes,
- 00:06:21.261 --> 00:06:24.297
- Is a shift in power in the northern border of israel
- 00:06:24.297 --> 00:06:28.068
- That is going to determine what happens
- 00:06:28.168 --> 00:06:31.104
- With iranian influence in syria, with lebanon, ultimately.
- 00:06:31.104 --> 00:06:35.308
- And, of course, especially
- 00:06:35.308 --> 00:06:36.610
- What happens between the syrian people and israel
- 00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:39.679
- Over the next couple of minutes. we'll unpack all of that.
- 00:06:39.679 --> 00:06:42.282
- These are dramatic, substantial and very meaningful,
- 00:06:42.282 --> 00:06:45.619
- Steps that are taking place right in front of our eyes.
- 00:06:45.719 --> 00:06:48.788
- And we're going to unfold all of that
- 00:06:48.889 --> 00:06:50.490
- For you to better understand what happened.
- 00:06:50.490 --> 00:06:53.226
- So let's start with the facts.
- 00:06:53.226 --> 00:06:54.794
- The leader of syria, of hts,
- 00:06:54.794 --> 00:06:56.530
- A man who was on
- 00:06:56.530 --> 00:06:57.831
- The most wanted list for the united states
- 00:06:57.831 --> 00:06:59.866
- Just a short time ago, is now visiting the white house.
- 00:06:59.866 --> 00:07:03.537
- He had a visit with president trump, not an official visit,
- 00:07:03.637 --> 00:07:06.740
- But yet a visit in the white house,
- 00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:09.743
- In the oval office between us president donald trump
- 00:07:09.743 --> 00:07:12.913
- And ashaara the leader of syria,
- 00:07:12.913 --> 00:07:15.148
- The leader of the hts movement that swept through syria
- 00:07:15.148 --> 00:07:18.251
- And overthrew a more than 50 year long
- 00:07:18.251 --> 00:07:21.555
- Dictatorship of the assad family in that country.
- 00:07:21.555 --> 00:07:24.824
- So this is a very dramatic event
- 00:07:24.824 --> 00:07:26.326
- That takes place in front of us.
- 00:07:26.326 --> 00:07:27.928
- And the goal here is before
- 00:07:27.928 --> 00:07:30.063
- We move on into the details to reshape the middle east,
- 00:07:30.063 --> 00:07:33.867
- The trump administration, the us administration has been wise.
- 00:07:33.967 --> 00:07:37.404
- It's been clever, has been very, very meticulous in building up
- 00:07:37.404 --> 00:07:41.608
- The infrastructure
- 00:07:41.608 --> 00:07:42.709
- Needed to reshape the power balance in this region
- 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:46.379
- To make sure that the day after the ceasefire agreements,
- 00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:49.616
- Israel doesn't stand alone against a syria
- 00:07:49.716 --> 00:07:52.385
- That is not rebuilt, that is still funded by,
- 00:07:52.385 --> 00:07:55.055
- Terrorist elements, that lebanon is stabilized,
- 00:07:55.055 --> 00:07:58.425
- That hamas in gaza is no longer at the helm.
- 00:07:58.425 --> 00:08:01.227
- And, of course, that the iranians are pushed back.
- 00:08:01.227 --> 00:08:04.064
- And this move that we're watching here today
- 00:08:04.064 --> 00:08:06.132
- Is exactly that.
- 00:08:06.132 --> 00:08:07.634
- These are incredible times.
- 00:08:07.634 --> 00:08:09.135
- Things are moving at a very rapid pace here.
- 00:08:09.135 --> 00:08:11.871
- I don't say this lightly.
- 00:08:11.871 --> 00:08:12.939
- What's happened in recent weeks
- 00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:14.674
- Is more significant than some events
- 00:08:14.674 --> 00:08:16.443
- That have taken a lifetime in this region.
- 00:08:16.443 --> 00:08:18.945
- I mean, we've been talking
- 00:08:18.945 --> 00:08:20.013
- To the syrian government for decades at this point.
- 00:08:20.113 --> 00:08:21.982
- We've never been this close
- 00:08:21.982 --> 00:08:23.717
- To having a proper agreement with them.
- 00:08:23.717 --> 00:08:25.952
- And although there are a lot of obstacles, a lot of animosity,
- 00:08:25.952 --> 00:08:28.922
- A lot of mistrust between the sides.
- 00:08:28.922 --> 00:08:30.657
- We're closer now than we've been in a really long time to
- 00:08:30.657 --> 00:08:33.927
- Restabilizing the relationship with syria and through syria.
- 00:08:33.927 --> 00:08:37.097
- Several other pieces will fall into place in this region.
- 00:08:37.097 --> 00:08:40.834

- For you on the israeli beach, which is adjacent
- 00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:53.246
- To the border between israel and gaza.
- 00:08:53.346 --> 00:08:56.182
- You don't want to miss this one.
- 00:08:56.182 --> 00:08:59.486
- A gentle giant
- 00:08:59.886 --> 00:09:01.254
- Appeared off the coast just a short time ago.
- 00:09:01.254 --> 00:09:04.991
- A whale shark ten meters long.
- 00:09:05.091 --> 00:09:08.128
- Harmless, protected.
- 00:09:08.128 --> 00:09:10.063
- Almost never seen here in israel.
- 00:09:10.063 --> 00:09:12.766
- Our lifeguards, our coast guard
- 00:09:12.766 --> 00:09:15.101
- And also the navy opened a lane and escorted it south.
- 00:09:15.101 --> 00:09:20.173
- Because that's what people who care about life do.
- 00:09:20.273 --> 00:09:23.443
- We make room for what is rare and we protect it.
- 00:09:23.543 --> 00:09:27.847
- Then, while this shark crossed
- 00:09:28.515 --> 00:09:30.917
- Into the gaza waters, crowds gathered.
- 00:09:30.917 --> 00:09:34.187
- Fishermen knew that it was rare and they killed it,
- 00:09:34.287 --> 00:09:38.458
- Cut it up, sold it, ate it.
- 00:09:39.125 --> 00:09:42.128
- Footage flooded the networks.
- 00:09:42.128 --> 00:09:44.898
- This isn't really a story about a fish.
- 00:09:44.898 --> 00:09:47.434
- It's a mirror.
- 00:09:47.434 --> 00:09:48.735
- It shows how under hamas control, hunger is weaponized,
- 00:09:48.735 --> 00:09:53.707
- Cruelty is normalized, and it reflects
- 00:09:53.807 --> 00:09:58.344
- How this terrorist organization is operating on the ground.
- 00:09:58.445 --> 00:10:02.549
- And if that's the ethic, you begin to understand
- 00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:06.052
- How the same system could carry out the october 7th attacks
- 00:10:06.152 --> 00:10:10.557
- And how it can sign a ceasefire with one hand
- 00:10:10.657 --> 00:10:13.893
- And then violated it with another.
- 00:10:13.993 --> 00:10:16.696
- If you believe that the truth should travel
- 00:10:16.696 --> 00:10:19.099
- And more people should know what's happening on the ground,
- 00:10:19.099 --> 00:10:21.801
- Please make sure to like, share, and subscribe.
- 00:10:21.801 --> 00:10:25.105
- Make sure to subscribe to tbn israel youtube channel.
- 00:10:25.205 --> 00:10:29.509
- I'm pinto and this is my state, a program about current
- 00:10:29.609 --> 00:10:33.146
- Events, my belief in god, and my journey in the holy land.
- 00:10:33.146 --> 00:10:40.186
- Good morning to all of you.
- 00:10:40.854 --> 00:10:42.088
- And today is going to be a very, very exciting day.
- 00:10:42.088 --> 00:10:45.191
- And i'm about to start the day by driving around three hours
- 00:10:45.191 --> 00:10:50.563
- To get to the borders between gaza and israel.
- 00:10:50.663 --> 00:10:53.399
- We're going to go to the beach of zikkim.
- 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.002
- Up until a few weeks ago.
- 00:10:56.002 --> 00:10:57.704
- It was unsafe for the israeli public to go.
- 00:10:57.704 --> 00:11:01.641
- As i'm looking into the gaza side, into the palestinian
- 00:11:01.741 --> 00:11:05.378
- Side of the border where hamas is controlling.
- 00:11:05.378 --> 00:11:08.047
- I know that there are no israeli hostages,
- 00:11:08.047 --> 00:11:11.951
- No living hostages that are kept in tunnels,
- 00:11:12.051 --> 00:11:15.288
- In dungeons underneath the cities of gaza.
- 00:11:15.288 --> 00:11:19.025
- That's just an amazing miracle.
- 00:11:19.125 --> 00:11:22.128
- And it's proof that god listens to prayers
- 00:11:22.128 --> 00:11:25.131
- And he's fulfilling amazing, amazing
- 00:11:25.131 --> 00:11:28.968
- Miracles in modern days.
- 00:11:29.068 --> 00:11:31.805
- Let's go have some breakfast at the david harp hotel.
- 00:11:31.805 --> 00:11:36.676
- If tomer was here, he were
- 00:11:37.310 --> 00:11:38.511
- Saying that you can█t go have breakfast without
- 00:11:38.511 --> 00:11:41.781
- Working out a little bit.
- 00:11:41.881 --> 00:11:43.049
- So maybe let█s start the day with a little bit of weight.
- 00:11:43.149 --> 00:12:07.006
- Wanted to share that.
- 00:12:07.574 --> 00:12:08.741
- It's nice to see some tourists from the united states america
- 00:12:08.842 --> 00:12:13.046
- Here in the hotel in the north of israel.
- 00:12:13.046 --> 00:12:15.348
- Now is the time to visit this land.
- 00:12:15.348 --> 00:12:17.283
- Because israel defeated all of our enemies.
- 00:12:17.283 --> 00:12:20.420
- We have a ceasefire with hamas in the gaza strip.
- 00:12:20.420 --> 00:12:23.189
- The idf has never been stronger.
- 00:12:23.189 --> 00:12:25.425
- But in the meantime, make sure to like, share
- 00:12:25.425 --> 00:12:28.528
- And subscribe to tbn israel youtube channel.
- 00:12:28.528 --> 00:12:34.400
- So i'm getting closer to the gaza border, and getting back to
- 00:12:35.635 --> 00:12:39.439
- Gaza is always, always very emotional for me
- 00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:43.309
- Because i spent the majority of my time in this war there.
- 00:12:43.409 --> 00:12:48.147
- The challenge is to make sure that they don't rebuild
- 00:12:48.248 --> 00:12:51.451
- And become the governing power in gaza once more.
- 00:12:51.551 --> 00:12:55.121
- Today we're in zikkim
- 00:12:55.688 --> 00:12:57.390
- This beach was closed from october 7th until just now.
- 00:12:57.390 --> 00:13:02.028
- Two years ago, terrorists came from the sea.
- 00:13:02.128 --> 00:13:05.198
- 18 were murdered here.
- 00:13:05.198 --> 00:13:07.934
- Families were shattered.
- 00:13:07.934 --> 00:13:09.636
- When you stand on this sand,
- 00:13:09.636 --> 00:13:11.337
- You feel what was lost and what must be defended
- 00:13:11.337 --> 00:13:15.375
- So that families can come back to these waters without fear.
- 00:13:15.475 --> 00:13:19.279
- So just a quick pause.
- 00:13:19.812 --> 00:13:20.880
- Make sure to like, share and subscribe
- 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:22.882
- So that this video will reach more people around the world.
- 00:13:22.882 --> 00:13:26.953
- Now back to the main story.
- 00:13:27.053 --> 00:13:28.988
- Remember what happened
- 00:13:28.988 --> 00:13:30.556
- The moment that the cease fire began
- 00:13:30.556 --> 00:13:32.926
- As soon as israeli forces pulled back
- 00:13:32.926 --> 00:13:35.194
- To designate the lines and the guns for mostly silent,
- 00:13:35.194 --> 00:13:39.966
- Hamas rushed not to care for civilians,
- 00:13:40.066 --> 00:13:43.670
- But to reassert its control in the gaza strip.
- 00:13:43.770 --> 00:13:47.407
- Masked gunmen poured into neighborhoods in gaza.
- 00:13:47.507 --> 00:13:51.311
- Pickup trucks with loudspeakers.
- 00:13:51.411 --> 00:13:54.247
- List of names.
- 00:13:54.247 --> 00:13:55.848
- Public beatings and street executions of suspected
- 00:13:55.848 --> 00:14:00.219
- Collaborators with israel.
- 00:14:00.219 --> 00:14:01.487
- And i'm talking about palestinians.
- 00:14:01.487 --> 00:14:03.690
- Men dragged from homes, others snatched from aid lines, crowds
- 00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:08.661
- Forced to watch as warnings were turned
- 00:14:08.761 --> 00:14:12.231
- Into body language that only hamas uses.
- 00:14:12.231 --> 00:14:16.102
- We saw it on our screens and heard it from gazans
- 00:14:16.202 --> 00:14:19.639
- On their phones.
- 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:20.840
- If you criticize hamas, your interview gets cut.
- 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.277
- If you try to keep the aid for your family or yourself
- 00:14:24.377 --> 00:14:27.480
- Instead of for the brigades of hamas, you're punished.
- 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.050
- If you ask, where are the tunnels?
- 00:14:31.150 --> 00:14:33.553
- Underneath my street.
- 00:14:33.553 --> 00:14:35.388
- You disappear.
- 00:14:35.388 --> 00:14:36.923
- This is not governments.
- 00:14:36.923 --> 00:14:38.558
- This is terror warned in words against palestinians.
- 00:14:38.558 --> 00:14:43.162
- Why does that matter for the cease fire?
- 00:14:43.262 --> 00:14:46.399
- Because any deal that leaves hamas
- 00:14:46.499 --> 00:14:48.768
- Armed leave gazans unfree and unfree
- 00:14:48.768 --> 00:14:52.739
- People cannot produce real peace.
- 00:14:52.739 --> 00:14:55.875
- The first days of so-called calm made that truth
- 00:14:55.875 --> 00:14:59.212
- Impossible to ignore.
- 00:14:59.312 --> 00:15:01.614
- Then came the
- 00:15:02.048 --> 00:15:03.082
- Breaches in rafah southern part of the gaza strip.
- 00:15:03.182 --> 00:15:06.586
- A team of terrorists emerged from a tunnel and fire
- 00:15:06.686 --> 00:15:10.223
- An anti-tank round at an idf engineer vehicle.
- 00:15:10.223 --> 00:15:14.627
- We lost major yaniv cola and staff sergeant
- 00:15:14.727 --> 00:15:18.564
- Itay yavetz may their memory be blessed.
- 00:15:18.564 --> 00:15:23.002
- In sajaia
- 00:15:23.002 --> 00:15:24.170
- Arm men crossed the yellow line
- 00:15:24.170 --> 00:15:26.039
- Towards our forces and were stopped in khan younis
- 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.909
- And also in nusirat
- 00:15:30.009 --> 00:15:31.577
- After repeated probes, the israeli air force
- 00:15:31.577 --> 00:15:34.714
- Struck cells of hamas terrorists and a major underground site.
- 00:15:34.714 --> 00:15:39.385
- And then, by a cabinet direction, israel
- 00:15:39.485 --> 00:15:42.722
- Returned to enforcing the ceasefire terms.
- 00:15:42.822 --> 00:15:46.125
- Humanitarian convoys paused
- 00:15:46.225 --> 00:15:48.528
- During the strikes were resumed later.
- 00:15:48.528 --> 00:15:51.664
- And right on cue, hamas claimed that it had located
- 00:15:51.664 --> 00:15:55.101
- A fallen hostage
- 00:15:55.101 --> 00:15:56.669
- And would hand him over if conditions will allow it.
- 00:15:56.669 --> 00:16:00.640
- They know
- 00:16:01.007 --> 00:16:01.908
- Exactly how to pull on the nation's heart.
- 00:16:02.008 --> 00:16:04.510
- Here's what this week taught us.
- 00:16:04.610 --> 00:16:06.612
- A cease fire exists only where it is enforced.
- 00:16:06.612 --> 00:16:10.650
- Otherwise it becomes a corridor for ambushes,
- 00:16:10.750 --> 00:16:14.120
- Not a path for peace.
- 00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:16.189
- Hamas's method is very simple.
- 00:16:16.189 --> 00:16:18.357
- Probe. deny. repeat.
- 00:16:18.357 --> 00:16:21.194
- Send unmarked men, sometimes low level operatives
- 00:16:21.194 --> 00:16:25.865
- And sometimes coerce civilians
- 00:16:25.865 --> 00:16:28.701
- Towards the idf positions to test our rules of engagement.
- 00:16:28.701 --> 00:16:32.772
- If we hold fire, a sniper or an rpg of the hamas
- 00:16:32.872 --> 00:16:36.642
- Terrorist organization will look for an opportunity
- 00:16:36.642 --> 00:16:39.812
- To use it against us.
- 00:16:39.912 --> 00:16:41.614
- If we act, they shout civilian and then try to blame us.
- 00:16:41.614 --> 00:16:46.986
- Meanwhile, they try to buy time for a houdnah,
- 00:16:47.086 --> 00:16:49.922
- Which is a long pause for the purpose of rearming.
- 00:16:49.922 --> 00:16:53.459
- So what they do is they place small arms in homes,
- 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.329
- Ieds in alleys.
- 00:16:56.329 --> 00:16:58.364
- They also use the tunnels and their openings
- 00:16:58.364 --> 00:17:01.200
- In the houses to prepare for another attack.
- 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.770
- So their long range rockets were hit very hard.
- 00:17:04.871 --> 00:17:08.508
- But what they have
- 00:17:08.608 --> 00:17:09.742
- Is the guerrilla kit and skills that still remains.
- 00:17:09.742 --> 00:17:13.579
- We finish the line.
- 00:17:13.679 --> 00:17:15.081
- The idf needs to prepare on the yellow line.
- 00:17:15.081 --> 00:17:18.584
- The yellow line must be clear.
- 00:17:18.684 --> 00:17:20.686
- Marked and monitored with sensors, with termal,
- 00:17:20.686 --> 00:17:24.657
- With drones overhead.
- 00:17:24.657 --> 00:17:26.359
- And every platoon drilled every day
- 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.795
- On routines that might happen.
- 00:17:29.896 --> 00:17:32.899
- So armed personnel beyond the line are an immediate
- 00:17:32.899 --> 00:17:36.202
- Threat.
- 00:17:36.202 --> 00:17:37.370
- Unknown approaches get warnings and then a precise stop
- 00:17:37.370 --> 00:17:42.308
- If needed.
- 00:17:42.408 --> 00:17:43.576
- Clarity saves lives.
- 00:17:43.576 --> 00:17:45.678
- Ours and also theirs.
- 00:17:45.678 --> 00:17:47.980
- Second, we hunt what
- 00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:49.949
- Hunts us systematically map the collapse
- 00:17:49.949 --> 00:17:53.753
- The tunnels inside our belt.
- 00:17:53.853 --> 00:17:56.088
- All the tunnels that still exist in the israeli side
- 00:17:56.088 --> 00:17:59.258
- Must be destroyed using robots and micro charges.
- 00:17:59.258 --> 00:18:03.996
- We need to keep persistent eyes.
- 00:18:04.697 --> 00:18:07.667
- Troopers and drones need to be in the skies at all times
- 00:18:07.667 --> 00:18:11.537
- So that every sniper or rpg team will know that minutes.
- 00:18:11.537 --> 00:18:16.142
- After a probe, the sky will answer and eliminate them.
- 00:18:16.242 --> 00:18:20.413
- And third, every breach has a price,
- 00:18:20.513 --> 00:18:23.883
- Not a symbolic strike, a meaningful one.
- 00:18:23.983 --> 00:18:27.053
- A weapons site, a command cell, a tunnel junction
- 00:18:27.053 --> 00:18:30.656
- That actually matters to hamas's network.
- 00:18:30.656 --> 00:18:33.593
- At the same time, keep humanitarian aid predictable
- 00:18:33.593 --> 00:18:37.296
- To civilians and unpredictable to the hamas terrorist.
- 00:18:37.296 --> 00:18:41.400
- It pauses when they fire and then resumed
- 00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:44.303
- When the area is safe.
- 00:18:44.303 --> 00:18:46.606
- That's how you protect the innocents
- 00:18:46.606 --> 00:18:49.075
- Without rewarding the violators.
- 00:18:49.075 --> 00:18:51.644
- The terrorist of hamas.
- 00:18:51.644 --> 00:18:53.212
- And fourth, we coordinate without outscoring.
- 00:18:53.212 --> 00:18:57.550
- American envoys were here.
- 00:18:57.650 --> 00:18:59.719
- Jd vance, jared kushner, steve witkoff
- 00:18:59.719 --> 00:19:02.188
- And the united states pressed for calm.
- 00:19:02.188 --> 00:19:05.324
- Israel can cooperate on monitoring and verification, but
- 00:19:05.424 --> 00:19:09.528
- Never surrender the right to act when lives are at risk.
- 00:19:09.528 --> 00:19:13.132
- Cooperation is welcome.
- 00:19:13.699 --> 00:19:15.768
- Remission is not required.
- 00:19:15.768 --> 00:19:18.170
- And fifth, about turkey and qatar.
- 00:19:18.170 --> 00:19:21.240
- Their leverage have pushed hamas to move.
- 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.343
- But leverage cuts both ways.
- 00:19:24.343 --> 00:19:26.746
- Ankara and doha will try to water down
- 00:19:26.746 --> 00:19:29.715
- The demilitarization process of gaza
- 00:19:29.715 --> 00:19:32.184
- To rebuild a political wing
- 00:19:32.184 --> 00:19:34.220
- To turn verification into paper
- 00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:37.890
- Our red lines must be public and simple.
- 00:19:37.990 --> 00:19:41.427
- No laundering for the terrorist army.
- 00:19:41.527 --> 00:19:44.196
- Weapons resumed.
- 00:19:44.196 --> 00:19:45.431
- Block by block with penalties for noncompliance.
- 00:19:45.431 --> 00:19:50.503
- And if monitors fail, israel will act by itself
- 00:19:50.603 --> 00:19:54.373
- With boots on the ground.
- 00:19:54.373 --> 00:19:56.242
- Friends are friends, our security remains ours.
- 00:19:56.242 --> 00:19:59.779
- And my view is this.
- 00:20:00.313 --> 00:20:02.148
- The whale shark is a parable
- 00:20:02.148 --> 00:20:04.984
- On our side of this fence, we escorted it
- 00:20:04.984 --> 00:20:08.454
- We help them stay alive under hamas?
- 00:20:08.454 --> 00:20:12.224
- Something rare was carved and sold.
- 00:20:12.325 --> 00:20:15.628
- The question before us
- 00:20:15.728 --> 00:20:17.330
- Is whether we will let that ethic define our borders.
- 00:20:17.330 --> 00:20:21.000
- We shouldn't.
- 00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:22.201
- We can be both unwavering and also humane.
- 00:20:22.201 --> 00:20:25.705
- Protect our soldiers.
- 00:20:25.805 --> 00:20:27.139
- Bring every hostage home.
- 00:20:27.139 --> 00:20:28.908
- Living and fallen strife when we must.
- 00:20:28.908 --> 00:20:32.378
- And open beaches like zikkim behind me.
- 00:20:32.478 --> 00:20:35.281
- Because the security is real and not rhetorical
- 00:20:35.281 --> 00:20:38.517
- In the coming days.
- 00:20:39.051 --> 00:20:40.252
- Measures success in a simple way.
- 00:20:40.252 --> 00:20:43.422
- Fewer tests across the yellow line
- 00:20:43.522 --> 00:20:45.991
- By hamas terrorists against our forces.
- 00:20:45.991 --> 00:20:48.561
- More tunnels that are mapped and then destroyed.
- 00:20:48.561 --> 00:20:51.864
- Envoys trying to bring aid.
- 00:20:52.531 --> 00:20:54.800
- Verify that the aid actually reaches
- 00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:57.470
- The civilians families on this beach again,
- 00:20:57.470 --> 00:21:01.240
- Because the threat is pushed back.
- 00:21:01.340 --> 00:21:03.943
- Not just appear to.
- 00:21:03.943 --> 00:21:05.878
- Before we close a word about the megaphone,
- 00:21:05.878 --> 00:21:09.215
- Al jazeera documents seized in gaza
- 00:21:09.315 --> 00:21:12.818
- And a new study by the meir amitim intelligence
- 00:21:12.918 --> 00:21:16.055
- And terrorism information center showed that hamas
- 00:21:16.055 --> 00:21:19.925
- Didn't just hope that al jazeera would echo its line.
- 00:21:20.025 --> 00:21:23.796
- It actually directed it.
- 00:21:23.896 --> 00:21:25.998
- Editors and correspondents received
- 00:21:25.998 --> 00:21:28.367
- Detailed guidance on warning and framing,
- 00:21:28.367 --> 00:21:32.171
- Including a 2022 directive
- 00:21:32.805 --> 00:21:35.808
- After a palestinian islamic jihad rocket killed civilians
- 00:21:35.808 --> 00:21:39.712
- In jabalia not to use the word massacre,
- 00:21:39.812 --> 00:21:43.416
- And to stress that this was not caused by israeli strikes.
- 00:21:43.516 --> 00:21:49.388
- In 2025,
- 00:21:49.722 --> 00:21:51.557
- Hamas even set up a secure al jazeera phone,
- 00:21:51.557 --> 00:21:55.728
- A direct encrypted line between its emergency operations
- 00:21:55.828 --> 00:21:59.899
- Room and the channels in doha headquarters
- 00:21:59.899 --> 00:22:03.269
- So that it could coordinate in real time
- 00:22:03.369 --> 00:22:06.238
- What to wear, what to hide and which terms to use.
- 00:22:06.238 --> 00:22:10.509
- The files also list gaza based agency journalists
- 00:22:10.609 --> 00:22:14.613
- Who doubled as hamas military operatives.
- 00:22:14.713 --> 00:22:17.983
- Names like anas el sharif,
- 00:22:18.083 --> 00:22:21.153
- Ismael abu-amar, talal el arouki
- 00:22:21.153 --> 00:22:25.057
- Houssam sabath and abdullah al jamal on air
- 00:22:25.157 --> 00:22:30.229
- When wounded gazans tried to criticize hamas
- 00:22:30.329 --> 00:22:33.199
- For hiding among the civilians,
- 00:22:33.199 --> 00:22:35.201
- Or when guests criticized qatar or turkey.
- 00:22:35.201 --> 00:22:38.737
- Interviews were cut off mid-sentence,
- 00:22:38.838 --> 00:22:42.608
- Even under the ceasefire, al jazera often enjoys
- 00:22:42.708 --> 00:22:46.312
- Exclusive field access at handover points for hostages
- 00:22:46.312 --> 00:22:50.483
- And fallen remains.
- 00:22:50.583 --> 00:22:52.117
- Maximizing hamas's narrative while barely
- 00:22:52.117 --> 00:22:55.588
- Showing israeli homecomings, the celebrations
- 00:22:55.588 --> 00:22:58.824
- And the reunification with the families of israel
- 00:22:58.824 --> 00:23:02.561
- Through arabic broadcasts and english language packaging,
- 00:23:02.661 --> 00:23:06.365
- That messaging travels to the west,
- 00:23:06.465 --> 00:23:09.568
- To europe, to the united states,
- 00:23:09.568 --> 00:23:11.871
- Amplified in muslim and arab speaking countries,
- 00:23:11.871 --> 00:23:15.374
- And then ricocheted back into the mainstream debate.
- 00:23:15.474 --> 00:23:20.279
- This is why qatar's role is risky.
- 00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:23.148
- Doha can play a mediator by day, when its flagship
- 00:23:23.148 --> 00:23:27.386
- Network al jazeera carries hamas's psychological warfare.
- 00:23:27.386 --> 00:23:31.924
- By night, that quality lets hamas keep a loud global voice
- 00:23:32.024 --> 00:23:37.396
- In negotiations, shape the pressure campaign on israel
- 00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:41.133
- And soften the demands for real disarmament of hamas.
- 00:23:41.233 --> 00:23:45.638
- If there is to be any technocratic regime
- 00:23:45.738 --> 00:23:49.108
- That will replace hamas, it must include the information front.
- 00:23:49.108 --> 00:23:53.045
- No outlet with direct coordination lines
- 00:23:53.145 --> 00:23:55.648
- To combatants.
- 00:23:55.648 --> 00:23:56.549
- Terrorists get exclusive access.
- 00:23:56.549 --> 00:23:59.251
- Foreign media credentials hinge on a verifiable non
- 00:23:59.251 --> 00:24:03.489
- Collaboration pledge and key facts are published
- 00:24:03.489 --> 00:24:06.659
- Immediately in arabic, in english and in hebrew,
- 00:24:06.659 --> 00:24:09.895
- So that propaganda cannot feel these gaps.
- 00:24:09.995 --> 00:24:14.166
- So if you really
- 00:24:14.633 --> 00:24:15.367
- Care about the people of israel
- 00:24:15.367 --> 00:24:17.436
- And the people of the gaza strip,
- 00:24:17.436 --> 00:24:19.471
- Make sure to like, share and subscribe because nobody
- 00:24:19.471 --> 00:24:22.308
- Is talking about the situation inside gaza not far from here.
- 00:24:22.308 --> 00:24:26.779
- But remember, this is a spiritual war
- 00:24:27.646 --> 00:24:30.349
- And how do we fight the spiritual war?
- 00:24:30.349 --> 00:24:32.718
- We pray.
- 00:24:32.718 --> 00:24:33.886
- So let us unite in prayer for wisdom to our leaders.
- 00:24:33.886 --> 00:24:36.789
- Let us unite in prayer
- 00:24:36.789 --> 00:24:38.057
- For better leadership
- 00:24:38.057 --> 00:24:39.158
- To the palestinian people in the gaza strip.
- 00:24:39.158 --> 00:24:41.694
- Let us unite in prayer for the idf soldiers that are still
- 00:24:41.694 --> 00:24:45.164
- On positions inside gaza, protecting all of us
- 00:24:45.264 --> 00:24:48.267
- So that we can enjoy this amazing beach here in zikkim,
- 00:24:48.267 --> 00:24:52.871
- Just hundreds of meters away from the gaza strip.
- 00:24:52.972 --> 00:24:56.075
- Let's pray for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:24:56.175 --> 00:25:01.246
- I hope you liked our report.
- 00:25:01.914 --> 00:25:03.649
- Now we'll go out to a short commercial break,
- 00:25:03.649 --> 00:25:06.619
- After which we'll return to pray together
- 00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:09.655
- For the people of israel, for the peace of jerusalem and
- 00:25:09.655 --> 00:25:12.992
- For the region.
- 00:25:12.992 --> 00:25:19.009
- For the region.
- 00:25:19.009 --> 00:25:22.264
- Thank you so much for coming back to us.
- 00:25:23.165 --> 00:25:26.302
- I want to remind all of you that this is a spiritual war.
- 00:25:26.402 --> 00:25:30.039
- The enemies of israel do not care about the politics.
- 00:25:31.173 --> 00:25:35.444
- Do not care about their own people.
- 00:25:35.544 --> 00:25:37.413
- They care about destroying god's people.
- 00:25:37.413 --> 00:25:41.117
- The people of israel.
- 00:25:41.117 --> 00:25:42.885
- This is all about showing the world
- 00:25:42.885 --> 00:25:46.388
- That they are stronger than god.
- 00:25:46.489 --> 00:25:49.925
- But you know what?
- 00:25:50.025 --> 00:25:51.060
- They're going to fail.
- 00:25:51.060 --> 00:25:52.628
- And in this time we are called to unite in prayer
- 00:25:52.628 --> 00:25:57.199
- For the peace of israel, for the peace of jerusalem,
- 00:25:57.299 --> 00:26:00.636
- And for god's will to be done
- 00:26:00.736 --> 00:26:03.906
- In this land on earth.
- 00:26:04.006 --> 00:26:06.776
- So let's make it personal,
- 00:26:06.776 --> 00:26:08.677
- Because our god is a personal god.
- 00:26:08.677 --> 00:26:10.746
- Let's pray for wisdom to our leaders, to your leaders,
- 00:26:10.746 --> 00:26:13.716
- To everybody who's involved
- 00:26:13.716 --> 00:26:15.151
- In all the situation that is happening on the ground
- 00:26:15.151 --> 00:26:18.387
- In israel and in the middle east.
- 00:26:18.487 --> 00:26:20.189
- Let's pray for all the innocent lives
- 00:26:20.189 --> 00:26:21.824
- That are affected
- 00:26:21.824 --> 00:26:23.058
- By this situation, for the palestinian people.
- 00:26:23.058 --> 00:26:25.594
- For the people of iran,
- 00:26:25.594 --> 00:26:27.163
- For the people of lebanon, yemen, syria.
- 00:26:27.163 --> 00:26:31.033
- Let's pray for the idf soldiers, for their families.
- 00:26:31.133 --> 00:26:34.069
- Let us pray for the hostages that have returned home
- 00:26:34.069 --> 00:26:36.472
- And are rebuilding their lives.
- 00:26:36.472 --> 00:26:38.307
- After two years in a tunnel.
- 00:26:38.307 --> 00:26:41.143
- Let's keep praying for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:26:41.143 --> 00:26:41.143
