  • 00:06:21.870 --> 00:06:23.705
  • And now we will go
  • 00:06:23.705 --> 00:06:24.873
  • To a short commercial break
  • 00:06:24.873 --> 00:06:26.641
  • After which we will return
  • 00:06:26.641 --> 00:06:28.310
  • To you with an in-depth analysis of where this war is heading.
  • 00:06:28.310 --> 00:06:32.714
  • So don't go anywhere.
  • 00:06:32.714 --> 00:06:38.995
  • So don't go anywhere.
  • 00:06:38.995 --> 00:06:42.749
  • Now, let's move to an explainer
  • 00:06:43.383 --> 00:06:45.719
  • That mati shoshani brought us
  • 00:06:45.719 --> 00:06:47.921
  • With a special guest
  • 00:06:47.921 --> 00:06:49.489
  • Who knows the middle east,
  • 00:06:49.489 --> 00:06:51.525
  • The islamic revolutionary guards corps
  • 00:06:51.525 --> 00:06:54.428
  • In iran from the inside.
  • 00:06:54.428 --> 00:06:56.863
  • You won't want to miss this.
  • 00:06:56.863 --> 00:06:58.498
  • The tension
  • 00:06:58.832 --> 00:06:59.566
  • With iran has not disappeared.
  • 00:06:59.566 --> 00:07:01.668
  • It has simply moved
  • 00:07:02.135 --> 00:07:03.437
  • From the battlefield
  • 00:07:03.437 --> 00:07:04.805
  • To the negotiation table.
  • 00:07:04.805 --> 00:07:06.740
  • And in washington,
  • 00:07:07.174 --> 00:07:08.275
  • They're talking about a framework for an agreement.
  • 00:07:08.275 --> 00:07:11.678
  • In tehran, they're saying
  • 00:07:12.245 --> 00:07:14.081
  • The agreement is still far away.
  • 00:07:14.081 --> 00:07:16.817
  • And in jerusalem,
  • 00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:18.352
  • They're looking at that same
  • 00:07:18.352 --> 00:07:20.187
  • Table and asking one question.
  • 00:07:20.187 --> 00:07:22.623
  • Is this diplomacy really
  • 00:07:23.156 --> 00:07:25.158
  • Stopping a strike,
  • 00:07:25.158 --> 00:07:26.660
  • Or is it only the final stage
  • 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.062
  • Before the war returns?
  • 00:07:29.062 --> 00:07:31.598
  • Because right now,
  • 00:07:32.032 --> 00:07:33.200
  • There are two pictures happening
  • 00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:35.302
  • At the same time.
  • 00:07:35.302 --> 00:07:36.703
  • One, on one hand,
  • 00:07:37.137 --> 00:07:38.372
  • Trump says the deal with iran
  • 00:07:38.372 --> 00:07:40.474
  • Will be big and meaningful,
  • 00:07:40.474 --> 00:07:42.476
  • Or there will be no deal at all.
  • 00:07:42.476 --> 00:07:45.012
  • On the other hand,
  • 00:07:45.445 --> 00:07:46.780
  • Iran is demanding guarantees,
  • 00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:48.915
  • Frozen assets, frozen money,
  • 00:07:48.915 --> 00:07:50.951
  • The removal of sanctions,
  • 00:07:50.951 --> 00:07:52.819
  • The opening of homs,
  • 00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:54.287
  • And a ceasefire that will also
  • 00:07:54.287 --> 00:07:56.490
  • Touch on other fronts.
  • 00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:58.725
  • The united states is demanding,
  • 00:07:58.725 --> 00:08:00.861
  • First of all, the nuclear issue,
  • 00:08:00.861 --> 00:08:03.063
  • The enriched uranium,
  • 00:08:03.063 --> 00:08:04.564
  • The supervision,
  • 00:08:04.564 --> 00:08:05.699
  • And the question iran is trying
  • 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.834
  • To delay again and again.
  • 00:08:07.834 --> 00:08:10.037
  • What remains
  • 00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:11.171
  • In the hands of the revolutionary
  • 00:08:11.171 --> 00:08:13.373
  • Guards the day after?
  • 00:08:13.373 --> 00:08:14.975
  • That brings us back
  • 00:08:15.442 --> 00:08:16.843
  • To the question
  • 00:08:16.843 --> 00:08:17.911
  • That is troubling many people.
  • 00:08:17.911 --> 00:08:20.180
  • Does trump really intend
  • 00:08:20.714 --> 00:08:22.349
  • To strike,
  • 00:08:22.349 --> 00:08:23.050
  • Or is he only threatening?
  • 00:08:23.050 --> 00:08:25.185
  • Are all these rounds of negotiations, of mediators,
  • 00:08:25.185 --> 00:08:29.056
  • Of drafts, of conditions,
  • 00:08:29.056 --> 00:08:30.957
  • And ultimatums a real attempt
  • 00:08:30.957 --> 00:08:33.193
  • To prevent war?
  • 00:08:33.193 --> 00:08:34.561
  • Or are they a way
  • 00:08:34.995 --> 00:08:36.229
  • To build legitimacy
  • 00:08:36.229 --> 00:08:37.597
  • For the moment diplomacy fails?
  • 00:08:37.597 --> 00:08:39.866
  • So i went to check what american
  • 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.536
  • Presidents did before major
  • 00:08:42.536 --> 00:08:44.271
  • Military operations.
  • 00:08:44.271 --> 00:08:45.639
  • Not after, but before.
  • 00:08:46.106 --> 00:08:48.208
  • What's interesting
  • 00:08:48.642 --> 00:08:49.710
  • Is that the pattern is not new.
  • 00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:52.245
  • Before the invasion of iraq, george w.
  • 00:08:52.245 --> 00:08:54.848
  • Bush continued to talk
  • 00:08:54.848 --> 00:08:55.982
  • About the possibility of disarming iraq peacefully.
  • 00:08:55.982 --> 00:08:58.618
  • He talked about diplomacy.
  • 00:08:58.618 --> 00:09:00.454
  • He talked about another chance.
  • 00:09:01.088 --> 00:09:02.522
  • He talked about saddam hussein
  • 00:09:03.123 --> 00:09:04.958
  • Still being able to prevent war.
  • 00:09:04.958 --> 00:09:07.194
  • But at the same time,
  • 00:09:07.694 --> 00:09:09.029
  • The military
  • 00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:09.830
  • Was already preparing,
  • 00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:11.264
  • Congress had already given
  • 00:09:11.264 --> 00:09:12.933
  • Authority to use force,
  • 00:09:12.933 --> 00:09:14.434
  • And the american
  • 00:09:14.434 --> 00:09:15.502
  • System was already
  • 00:09:15.502 --> 00:09:16.670
  • Moving towards a decision.
  • 00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:18.772
  • Then came the ultimatum.
  • 00:09:19.306 --> 00:09:20.707
  • 48 hours for saddam hussein
  • 00:09:21.308 --> 00:09:23.877
  • And his sons to leave iraq.
  • 00:09:23.877 --> 00:09:26.680
  • If not, military
  • 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.515
  • Action comes next.
  • 00:09:28.515 --> 00:09:30.283
  • At that moment, all the talk
  • 00:09:30.884 --> 00:09:32.753
  • About more time, more talks,
  • 00:09:32.753 --> 00:09:34.621
  • More diplomacy became
  • 00:09:34.621 --> 00:09:36.022
  • Something completely different.
  • 00:09:36.022 --> 00:09:38.158
  • Not a sign that the threat
  • 00:09:38.725 --> 00:09:40.393
  • Was off the table,
  • 00:09:40.393 --> 00:09:41.561
  • But a sign that the clock
  • 00:09:41.561 --> 00:09:43.163
  • Had reached the end.
  • 00:09:43.163 --> 00:09:44.765
  • We saw a similar pattern
  • 00:09:45.298 --> 00:09:46.500
  • In libya.
  • 00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.801
  • Barack obama, a democratic
  • 00:09:47.801 --> 00:09:49.569
  • President, didn't rush
  • 00:09:49.569 --> 00:09:51.104
  • To present it as a major war.
  • 00:09:51.104 --> 00:09:53.039
  • He spoke about limited action,
  • 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.142
  • About protecting civilians,
  • 00:09:55.142 --> 00:09:57.077
  • About final demands
  • 00:09:57.077 --> 00:09:58.478
  • From gaddafi.
  • 00:09:58.478 --> 00:09:59.980
  • One day before the strikes
  • 00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.015
  • Began, words like choice,
  • 00:10:02.015 --> 00:10:03.984
  • Deadline, pause,
  • 00:10:03.984 --> 00:10:05.218
  • And warning were still
  • 00:10:05.218 --> 00:10:06.920
  • Being heard.
  • 00:10:06.920 --> 00:10:08.121
  • And then the aircraft
  • 00:10:08.622 --> 00:10:09.856
  • Were already in the air.
  • 00:10:09.856 --> 00:10:11.792
  • And there too,
  • 00:10:12.125 --> 00:10:12.993
  • Diplomacy and the military threat
  • 00:10:12.993 --> 00:10:15.128
  • Were not two separate tracks.
  • 00:10:15.128 --> 00:10:17.464
  • They were part of the same move.
  • 00:10:17.464 --> 00:10:20.367
  • That does not mean every
  • 00:10:20.901 --> 00:10:22.502
  • Negotiation is theater.
  • 00:10:22.502 --> 00:10:24.638
  • It does mean
  • 00:10:24.971 --> 00:10:25.806
  • That when an american
  • 00:10:25.806 --> 00:10:27.307
  • President keeps one door open,
  • 00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:29.442
  • We need to ask,
  • 00:10:29.442 --> 00:10:30.510
  • What is happening next
  • 00:10:30.510 --> 00:10:32.078
  • To the other door?
  • 00:10:32.078 --> 00:10:33.647
  • Is the military
  • 00:10:34.014 --> 00:10:34.681
  • Standing behind it?
  • 00:10:34.681 --> 00:10:35.949
  • Are the allies ready?
  • 00:10:35.949 --> 00:10:37.517
  • Does the enemy truly
  • 00:10:37.517 --> 00:10:38.852
  • Believe the threat?
  • 00:10:38.852 --> 00:10:40.253
  • And is there someone
  • 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.055
  • On the other side who's
  • 00:10:42.055 --> 00:10:43.590
  • Capable of making a decision
  • 00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:45.492
  • Before the window closes?
  • 00:10:45.492 --> 00:10:47.360
  • And here, iran is different
  • 00:10:47.961 --> 00:10:49.930
  • From iraq and from libya.
  • 00:10:49.930 --> 00:10:52.098
  • Facing iraq, there was saddam.
  • 00:10:52.699 --> 00:10:55.035
  • Facing libya, there was gaddafi.
  • 00:10:55.035 --> 00:10:57.771
  • You could like them, you could hate them, you could fear them,
  • 00:10:57.771 --> 00:11:01.174
  • But it was clear who was holding
  • 00:11:01.174 --> 00:11:02.976
  • The steering wheel.
  • 00:11:02.976 --> 00:11:04.444
  • But in iran today,
  • 00:11:04.878 --> 00:11:06.479
  • That is much less clear.
  • 00:11:06.479 --> 00:11:08.915
  • That's why in this episode,
  • 00:11:09.516 --> 00:11:10.951
  • We're not only asking whether
  • 00:11:10.951 --> 00:11:12.552
  • There will be a strike,
  • 00:11:12.552 --> 00:11:13.787
  • We're asking a deeper question.
  • 00:11:13.787 --> 00:11:15.956
  • Who is really running iran?
  • 00:11:15.956 --> 00:11:18.024
  • Who can say yes?
  • 00:11:18.425 --> 00:11:19.726
  • Who can say no?
  • 00:11:19.726 --> 00:11:21.161
  • And if tomorrow an agreement
  • 00:11:21.161 --> 00:11:23.029
  • Is placed on the table,
  • 00:11:23.029 --> 00:11:24.564
  • Who in tehran
  • 00:11:24.564 --> 00:11:25.465
  • Is capable of signing
  • 00:11:25.465 --> 00:11:26.933
  • It, enforcing it, and making
  • 00:11:26.933 --> 00:11:28.802
  • Revolutionary guards accept it?
  • 00:11:28.802 --> 00:11:31.438
  • Now to understand that, i want
  • 00:11:31.438 --> 00:11:33.473
  • To bring into the conversation benny sabti,
  • 00:11:33.473 --> 00:11:36.376
  • One of the people
  • 00:11:36.376 --> 00:11:37.544
  • Who understands iran
  • 00:11:37.544 --> 00:11:38.945
  • From the inside.
  • 00:11:38.945 --> 00:11:40.113
  • The language,
  • 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:41.448
  • The culture, the street,
  • 00:11:41.448 --> 00:11:43.183
  • And the way the regime speaks
  • 00:11:43.183 --> 00:11:45.318
  • To itself.
  • 00:11:45.318 --> 00:11:46.486
  • Now benny, i want to start
  • 00:11:47.053 --> 00:11:48.255
  • Directly with this point.
  • 00:11:48.255 --> 00:11:49.489
  • The world sees statements
  • 00:11:50.056 --> 00:11:51.625
  • From tehran,
  • 00:11:51.625 --> 00:11:52.392
  • Statements from washington,
  • 00:11:52.392 --> 00:11:54.027
  • Messages from the iranian
  • 00:11:54.027 --> 00:11:55.595
  • Foreign ministry,
  • 00:11:55.595 --> 00:11:56.630
  • Messages from within the revolutionary guards,
  • 00:11:56.630 --> 00:11:59.399
  • And sometimes it seems
  • 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.734
  • That everyone there is saying
  • 00:12:00.734 --> 00:12:02.535
  • Something entirely different.
  • 00:12:02.535 --> 00:12:04.571
  • Now is there one leader in iran
  • 00:12:05.205 --> 00:12:07.140
  • Today who's making decisions,
  • 00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:08.975
  • Or are we looking at a regime
  • 00:12:08.975 --> 00:12:10.777
  • That is already being run
  • 00:12:10.777 --> 00:12:12.379
  • Through internal
  • 00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:13.446
  • Power struggles?
  • 00:12:13.446 --> 00:12:20.921
  • Okay, benny, let's
  • 00:12:21.354 --> 00:12:22.322
  • Dive straight into it.
  • 00:12:22.322 --> 00:12:23.723
  • I think the topic
  • 00:12:24.157 --> 00:12:24.991
  • That i'm most interested
  • 00:12:24.991 --> 00:12:26.159
  • In, maybe our viewers are also
  • 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.661
  • Most interested to understand,
  • 00:12:27.661 --> 00:12:29.162
  • Is what is really
  • 00:12:29.162 --> 00:12:29.996
  • Happening inside iran?
  • 00:12:29.996 --> 00:12:31.464
  • What's happening
  • 00:12:31.464 --> 00:12:32.098
  • With the regime?
  • 00:12:32.098 --> 00:12:33.199
  • Is there actually a leader
  • 00:12:33.199 --> 00:12:34.367
  • In iran that's leading,
  • 00:12:34.367 --> 00:12:35.402
  • Or is there a lot of internal
  • 00:12:35.402 --> 00:12:36.703
  • Fighting in iran right now?
  • 00:12:36.703 --> 00:12:39.172
  • Thank you for having me here,
  • 00:12:39.806 --> 00:12:42.042
  • And thank you
  • 00:12:42.042 --> 00:12:43.076
  • For this important question,
  • 00:12:43.076 --> 00:12:45.278
  • Because things are not as they are shown in tv shows
  • 00:12:45.278 --> 00:12:49.282
  • Or news from inside iran
  • 00:12:49.282 --> 00:12:51.151
  • Towards the rest of the world.
  • 00:12:51.151 --> 00:12:53.653
  • The iranian regime
  • 00:12:54.087 --> 00:12:55.455
  • Today is not so stable,
  • 00:12:55.455 --> 00:12:57.223
  • Not just because of the war
  • 00:12:57.223 --> 00:12:59.326
  • Or the coming war,
  • 00:12:59.326 --> 00:13:00.694
  • But because of their behavior.
  • 00:13:00.694 --> 00:13:03.263
  • These generals
  • 00:13:03.596 --> 00:13:04.731
  • That took over the regime,
  • 00:13:04.731 --> 00:13:06.800
  • They are much more fanatic,
  • 00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:08.902
  • Much more radical from the last
  • 00:13:08.902 --> 00:13:11.338
  • Leader, khamenei, the father,
  • 00:13:11.338 --> 00:13:13.640
  • And also his son
  • 00:13:13.640 --> 00:13:14.908
  • That took the leadership.
  • 00:13:14.908 --> 00:13:17.410
  • He is a friend of irgc generals.
  • 00:13:17.410 --> 00:13:19.846
  • He doesn't care about the needs of the people, of course,
  • 00:13:19.846 --> 00:13:24.017
  • Not caring about any
  • 00:13:24.017 --> 00:13:25.552
  • Kind of good relationship
  • 00:13:25.552 --> 00:13:27.454
  • With the world,
  • 00:13:27.454 --> 00:13:28.555
  • Maybe just with china or russia
  • 00:13:28.555 --> 00:13:30.890
  • Or other
  • 00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:31.491
  • Not so positive countries,
  • 00:13:31.491 --> 00:13:33.493
  • And not so democratic, of course, countries.
  • 00:13:33.493 --> 00:13:36.696
  • So they are bringing this regime
  • 00:13:36.696 --> 00:13:39.899
  • To a kind of an end
  • 00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:41.868
  • By themselves.
  • 00:13:41.868 --> 00:13:43.603
  • They are not making
  • 00:13:43.603 --> 00:13:44.971
  • The people satisfied.
  • 00:13:44.971 --> 00:13:46.673
  • The prices are going higher
  • 00:13:46.673 --> 00:13:48.174
  • And higher every day.
  • 00:13:48.174 --> 00:13:49.876
  • The situation inside iran
  • 00:13:49.876 --> 00:13:51.945
  • Around the issues of security,
  • 00:13:51.945 --> 00:13:54.414
  • Even the thieves
  • 00:13:54.414 --> 00:13:55.749
  • And stealing from houses
  • 00:13:55.749 --> 00:13:57.784
  • That they were hurt in the war,
  • 00:13:57.784 --> 00:14:00.353
  • This is a phenomenon
  • 00:14:00.353 --> 00:14:02.022
  • That is going on from the war,
  • 00:14:02.022 --> 00:14:04.491
  • And it's not because of us
  • 00:14:04.491 --> 00:14:06.693
  • Or israel.
  • 00:14:06.693 --> 00:14:07.994
  • It's because of their kind of behavior.
  • 00:14:07.994 --> 00:14:10.764
  • They don't care
  • 00:14:11.131 --> 00:14:11.998
  • About the people.
  • 00:14:11.998 --> 00:14:13.366
  • They don't care
  • 00:14:13.366 --> 00:14:14.000
  • About their needs.
  • 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.135
  • There is no water again
  • 00:14:15.135 --> 00:14:16.803
  • In iran or not so much food.
  • 00:14:16.803 --> 00:14:19.406
  • Iran is an importer country.
  • 00:14:19.406 --> 00:14:21.908
  • They import anything.
  • 00:14:21.908 --> 00:14:23.510
  • They just have only oil to sell
  • 00:14:23.510 --> 00:14:25.779
  • And buy anything from outside.
  • 00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:28.081
  • Even saffron
  • 00:14:28.415 --> 00:14:29.282
  • Is not iranian anymore.
  • 00:14:29.282 --> 00:14:30.950
  • So if they don't care about the people and they neglect them,
  • 00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:35.889
  • They can be brought down in a very few, maybe a few months
  • 00:14:35.889 --> 00:14:40.593
  • Or maybe not more than a year,
  • 00:14:40.593 --> 00:14:43.029
  • Because they think only
  • 00:14:43.029 --> 00:14:44.931
  • About themselves becoming
  • 00:14:44.931 --> 00:14:47.000
  • Stronger and stronger
  • 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.768
  • In military aspects and doesn't
  • 00:14:48.768 --> 00:14:51.304
  • Care about 90 million people.
  • 00:14:51.304 --> 00:14:54.040
  • It's not a good thing
  • 00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:56.076
  • To do as a regime.
  • 00:14:56.076 --> 00:14:57.811
  • And this is exactly the point
  • 00:14:57.811 --> 00:14:59.479
  • That is important to understand.
  • 00:14:59.479 --> 00:15:01.681
  • If there is no one person
  • 00:15:02.248 --> 00:15:03.650
  • In iran who is capable of making
  • 00:15:03.650 --> 00:15:05.518
  • A decision,
  • 00:15:05.518 --> 00:15:06.152
  • Then the negotiations
  • 00:15:06.152 --> 00:15:07.387
  • Are not stuck only
  • 00:15:07.387 --> 00:15:08.455
  • Because of technical gaps.
  • 00:15:08.455 --> 00:15:10.156
  • They're stuck
  • 00:15:10.523 --> 00:15:11.057
  • Because of the power
  • 00:15:11.057 --> 00:15:11.891
  • Structure of the regime itself.
  • 00:15:11.891 --> 00:15:13.326
  • A foreign minister can go
  • 00:15:13.893 --> 00:15:15.295
  • To a meeting.
  • 00:15:15.295 --> 00:15:16.496
  • A president can send a message.
  • 00:15:16.496 --> 00:15:18.431
  • A pakistani or qatari mediator
  • 00:15:18.431 --> 00:15:20.266
  • Can enter the picture.
  • 00:15:20.266 --> 00:15:21.968
  • But if in the end every
  • 00:15:21.968 --> 00:15:23.570
  • Decision has to pass
  • 00:15:23.570 --> 00:15:24.938
  • Through a circle of generals,
  • 00:15:24.938 --> 00:15:26.906
  • Of intelligence officers
  • 00:15:26.906 --> 00:15:28.508
  • And former commanders
  • 00:15:28.508 --> 00:15:29.943
  • In the revolutionary guards,
  • 00:15:29.943 --> 00:15:31.811
  • Well then diplomacy moves
  • 00:15:31.811 --> 00:15:33.513
  • At the speed of a bunker.
  • 00:15:33.513 --> 00:15:35.248
  • That's not just an expression,
  • 00:15:35.849 --> 00:15:37.183
  • By the way.
  • 00:15:37.183 --> 00:15:38.318
  • According to information coming
  • 00:15:38.318 --> 00:15:40.520
  • From the latest reports,
  • 00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:42.255
  • The man officially at the top of the iranian system is hiding
  • 00:15:42.255 --> 00:15:46.593
  • In an unknown location,
  • 00:15:46.593 --> 00:15:48.228
  • Almost cut off from the outside
  • 00:15:48.228 --> 00:15:50.430
  • World and communicating
  • 00:15:50.430 --> 00:15:52.098
  • Through a complicated
  • 00:15:52.098 --> 00:15:53.600
  • Network of messengers.
  • 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.368
  • Not a normal situation room.
  • 00:15:55.969 --> 00:15:57.804
  • Not open calls.
  • 00:15:57.804 --> 00:15:59.472
  • Not a cabinet that meets
  • 00:15:59.472 --> 00:16:00.673
  • And makes a quick decision.
  • 00:16:00.673 --> 00:16:02.142
  • A message goes out.
  • 00:16:02.609 --> 00:16:04.144
  • A message comes back.
  • 00:16:04.144 --> 00:16:05.378
  • Someone approves.
  • 00:16:05.812 --> 00:16:07.147
  • Someone stops.
  • 00:16:07.147 --> 00:16:08.348
  • And the world waits
  • 00:16:08.348 --> 00:16:09.682
  • For an answer from tehran
  • 00:16:09.682 --> 00:16:11.417
  • As if this is a country
  • 00:16:11.417 --> 00:16:13.052
  • Operating at a normal pace.
  • 00:16:13.052 --> 00:16:15.221
  • But a crisis like
  • 00:16:15.655 --> 00:16:16.723
  • This doesn't wait.
  • 00:16:16.723 --> 00:16:18.124
  • When the united states
  • 00:16:18.591 --> 00:16:19.526
  • Places an offer on the table.
  • 00:16:19.526 --> 00:16:21.094
  • When israel is on alert.
  • 00:16:21.094 --> 00:16:22.395
  • When the revolutionary
  • 00:16:22.395 --> 00:16:23.563
  • Guards are issuing threats.
  • 00:16:23.563 --> 00:16:25.064
  • And when the global
  • 00:16:25.532 --> 00:16:26.633
  • Market is watching hormuz,
  • 00:16:26.633 --> 00:16:28.168
  • A decision that is not made
  • 00:16:28.168 --> 00:16:29.769
  • In time is already a decision.
  • 00:16:29.769 --> 00:16:31.738
  • Sometimes it pushes the other
  • 00:16:32.372 --> 00:16:33.840
  • Side to assume there is no one
  • 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.341
  • To talk to.
  • 00:16:35.341 --> 00:16:36.676
  • And here comes trump's
  • 00:16:36.676 --> 00:16:37.844
  • Biggest problem.
  • 00:16:37.844 --> 00:16:38.978
  • He can apply pressure.
  • 00:16:39.445 --> 00:16:40.613
  • He can keep the military
  • 00:16:41.147 --> 00:16:42.415
  • In the region.
  • 00:16:42.415 --> 00:16:43.583
  • He can continue
  • 00:16:43.583 --> 00:16:44.517
  • The naval blockade.
  • 00:16:44.517 --> 00:16:46.085
  • He can tell his people
  • 00:16:46.085 --> 00:16:47.587
  • Not to rush into a deal.
  • 00:16:47.587 --> 00:16:49.255
  • But with whom exactly
  • 00:16:49.255 --> 00:16:50.790
  • Is he closing the deal?
  • 00:16:50.790 --> 00:16:52.625
  • With the iranian
  • 00:16:53.026 --> 00:16:53.760
  • Foreign ministry?
  • 00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:55.128
  • With the president?
  • 00:16:55.128 --> 00:16:56.462
  • With mojtaba?
  • 00:16:56.462 --> 00:16:57.630
  • With the security council?
  • 00:16:57.630 --> 00:16:59.199
  • With revolutionary
  • 00:16:59.632 --> 00:17:00.533
  • Guards' generals
  • 00:17:00.533 --> 00:17:01.301
  • Who are afraid to look weak
  • 00:17:01.301 --> 00:17:02.602
  • In front of one another?
  • 00:17:02.602 --> 00:17:04.337
  • Now, benny, i want
  • 00:17:04.771 --> 00:17:05.805
  • To take this one step further.
  • 00:17:05.805 --> 00:17:08.107
  • If the iranian regime is truly
  • 00:17:08.107 --> 00:17:10.243
  • Built today around
  • 00:17:10.243 --> 00:17:11.544
  • A circle of generals
  • 00:17:11.544 --> 00:17:13.012
  • And irgc figures,
  • 00:17:13.012 --> 00:17:14.214
  • Not around one clear leadership,
  • 00:17:14.214 --> 00:17:16.449
  • What does that do to iran's ability
  • 00:17:16.449 --> 00:17:18.918
  • To conduct real negotiations?
  • 00:17:18.918 --> 00:17:21.020
  • Are they even
  • 00:17:21.387 --> 00:17:22.555
  • Capable of saying yes? yes.
  • 00:17:22.555 --> 00:17:25.925
  • You know,
  • 00:17:25.925 --> 00:17:26.726
  • I think those who make us
  • 00:17:26.726 --> 00:17:28.995
  • Afraid of revealing iran
  • 00:17:28.995 --> 00:17:31.164
  • And make it free,
  • 00:17:31.164 --> 00:17:32.699
  • Those are, maybe they have some
  • 00:17:32.699 --> 00:17:35.401
  • Cooperation with the regime.
  • 00:17:35.401 --> 00:17:38.004
  • They don't want this regime
  • 00:17:38.004 --> 00:17:39.305
  • To be gone.
  • 00:17:39.305 --> 00:17:40.073
  • So they write
  • 00:17:40.073 --> 00:17:41.007
  • About these clashes inside iran
  • 00:17:41.007 --> 00:17:43.176
  • And fights of minorities.
  • 00:17:43.176 --> 00:17:44.877
  • But no, iranian minorities
  • 00:17:44.877 --> 00:17:47.313
  • Don't want to get rid of iran.
  • 00:17:47.313 --> 00:17:50.516
  • They want to be part of iran.
  • 00:17:50.516 --> 00:17:52.552
  • The kurds, the baluchis,
  • 00:17:52.552 --> 00:17:53.720
  • They don't want
  • 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:54.454
  • To fight each other also.
  • 00:17:54.454 --> 00:17:56.089
  • They have some autonomic
  • 00:17:56.089 --> 00:17:57.991
  • And ethnic demands,
  • 00:17:57.991 --> 00:17:59.525
  • Like learning their languages
  • 00:17:59.525 --> 00:18:01.828
  • Or writing by their letters.
  • 00:18:01.828 --> 00:18:04.397
  • It's a very small thing,
  • 00:18:04.397 --> 00:18:05.898
  • You know.
  • 00:18:05.898 --> 00:18:06.766
  • It's not about bringing
  • 00:18:06.766 --> 00:18:08.201
  • Iran down as a country.
  • 00:18:08.201 --> 00:18:09.736
  • They want it united.
  • 00:18:09.736 --> 00:18:11.437
  • And seven of these ethnic parties,
  • 00:18:11.437 --> 00:18:15.041
  • Even they declared loyalty
  • 00:18:15.041 --> 00:18:17.877
  • To the crown prince
  • 00:18:17.877 --> 00:18:19.979
  • A few months ago
  • 00:18:19.979 --> 00:18:21.748
  • In those days of the clashes
  • 00:18:21.748 --> 00:18:24.684
  • And the protests on january.
  • 00:18:24.684 --> 00:18:27.954
  • It was amazing.
  • 00:18:27.954 --> 00:18:29.055
  • I had the proof that they don't
  • 00:18:29.055 --> 00:18:30.857
  • Want to make iran apart.
  • 00:18:30.857 --> 00:18:32.792
  • So if we have just some hope
  • 00:18:32.792 --> 00:18:35.261
  • To bring to them,
  • 00:18:35.261 --> 00:18:36.729
  • And of course declare to them
  • 00:18:36.729 --> 00:18:39.265
  • That we also don't want iran
  • 00:18:39.265 --> 00:18:41.768
  • To be apart,
  • 00:18:41.768 --> 00:18:42.969
  • So we can help them with that, bringing the normal opposition
  • 00:18:42.969 --> 00:18:48.074
  • From outside or turning
  • 00:18:48.074 --> 00:18:50.076
  • To the normal moderate
  • 00:18:50.076 --> 00:18:52.011
  • People inside iran.
  • 00:18:52.011 --> 00:18:53.846
  • I'm not dreaming, you know.
  • 00:18:53.846 --> 00:18:55.615
  • I can compromise
  • 00:18:55.615 --> 00:18:57.083
  • About some things,
  • 00:18:57.083 --> 00:18:58.718
  • But not about the existence of israel
  • 00:18:58.718 --> 00:19:02.121
  • Or making a missile program
  • 00:19:02.121 --> 00:19:04.590
  • So bad that they can hurt
  • 00:19:04.590 --> 00:19:06.859
  • Also europe or even usa.
  • 00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:09.262
  • This regime has this dream.
  • 00:19:09.262 --> 00:19:11.164
  • That does not mean the day
  • 00:19:11.164 --> 00:19:12.565
  • After will be simple.
  • 00:19:12.565 --> 00:19:14.033
  • Nothing is simple
  • 00:19:14.467 --> 00:19:15.201
  • In a country like iran.
  • 00:19:15.201 --> 00:19:16.769
  • But this is an important distinction.
  • 00:19:16.769 --> 00:19:18.905
  • Sometimes those who frighten
  • 00:19:19.505 --> 00:19:21.007
  • The world about the collapse of the regime use
  • 00:19:21.007 --> 00:19:23.476
  • That fear in order
  • 00:19:23.476 --> 00:19:24.410
  • To keep the regime alive.
  • 00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:25.912
  • Now the message is, yes,
  • 00:19:26.446 --> 00:19:27.780
  • The regime is dangerous, but the alternative will be worse.
  • 00:19:27.780 --> 00:19:31.117
  • Yes, the revolutionary
  • 00:19:31.584 --> 00:19:32.885
  • Guards will press,
  • 00:19:32.885 --> 00:19:33.920
  • But if they disappear,
  • 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.221
  • It will be chaos.
  • 00:19:35.221 --> 00:19:36.689
  • Yes, iran threatens israel,
  • 00:19:36.689 --> 00:19:38.358
  • The gulf,
  • 00:19:38.358 --> 00:19:39.559
  • And the united states, but at least there is an address.
  • 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.029
  • The question is whether that address is still functioning.
  • 00:19:43.029 --> 00:19:46.766
  • Because if the address
  • 00:19:47.233 --> 00:19:48.701
  • Itself is divided in hiding,
  • 00:19:48.701 --> 00:19:50.570
  • Afraid, lying to itself,
  • 00:19:50.570 --> 00:19:52.138
  • And holding
  • 00:19:52.138 --> 00:19:52.872
  • The country by force,
  • 00:19:52.872 --> 00:19:54.273
  • Then the stability it offers
  • 00:19:54.273 --> 00:19:56.175
  • May only be another name
  • 00:19:56.175 --> 00:19:57.777
  • For a later explosion.
  • 00:19:57.777 --> 00:19:59.779
  • That brings us back to trump.
  • 00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:01.280
  • If he truly wants an agreement,
  • 00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:02.982
  • He needs to know not only
  • 00:20:02.982 --> 00:20:04.350
  • What is written on the paper,
  • 00:20:04.350 --> 00:20:05.985
  • He needs to know
  • 00:20:05.985 --> 00:20:06.886
  • Who stands behind the paper.
  • 00:20:06.886 --> 00:20:08.588
  • If he wants a strike,
  • 00:20:09.088 --> 00:20:10.189
  • He needs to understand not only
  • 00:20:10.189 --> 00:20:11.858
  • Which site to hit,
  • 00:20:11.858 --> 00:20:12.825
  • But which mechanism he is trying
  • 00:20:12.825 --> 00:20:14.527
  • To break.
  • 00:20:14.527 --> 00:20:15.595
  • If he wants to combine military
  • 00:20:15.595 --> 00:20:17.563
  • Pressure with diplomacy,
  • 00:20:17.563 --> 00:20:19.065
  • He needs to make sure iran
  • 00:20:19.065 --> 00:20:20.733
  • Is not using this window
  • 00:20:20.733 --> 00:20:22.301
  • To rebuild what was damaged.
  • 00:20:22.301 --> 00:20:24.270
  • Benny said he met
  • 00:20:24.704 --> 00:20:25.972
  • Steve witkoff, trump's envoy,
  • 00:20:25.972 --> 00:20:28.074
  • And told him simply,
  • 00:20:28.074 --> 00:20:29.542
  • Do not chase the regime.
  • 00:20:29.542 --> 00:20:31.477
  • Make it chase you.
  • 00:20:31.911 --> 00:20:32.979
  • This is an important point,
  • 00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:35.014
  • Because a regime
  • 00:20:35.014 --> 00:20:35.848
  • That wants a real agreement
  • 00:20:35.848 --> 00:20:37.316
  • Behaves differently.
  • 00:20:37.316 --> 00:20:38.951
  • It tries to gain trust.
  • 00:20:39.452 --> 00:20:40.787
  • It lowers demands.
  • 00:20:40.787 --> 00:20:42.054
  • It sends people with authority.
  • 00:20:42.054 --> 00:20:43.956
  • It presents a clear concession.
  • 00:20:43.956 --> 00:20:46.092
  • Now, ben,
  • 00:20:46.392 --> 00:20:47.560
  • If you had to say this to decision makers in washington,
  • 00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:50.663
  • What would the message be?
  • 00:20:50.663 --> 00:20:52.765
  • Should they continue pressing
  • 00:20:52.765 --> 00:20:54.667
  • For an agreement,
  • 00:20:54.667 --> 00:20:55.768
  • Wait for internal collapse,
  • 00:20:55.768 --> 00:20:57.537
  • Or understand that as long
  • 00:20:57.537 --> 00:20:59.205
  • As a handful of extreme figures
  • 00:20:59.205 --> 00:21:01.240
  • In the revolutionary guards
  • 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.042
  • Hold the system,
  • 00:21:03.042 --> 00:21:04.110
  • No agreement will truly hold?
  • 00:21:04.110 --> 00:21:06.179
  • Wow, i'm very flattered,
  • 00:21:06.179 --> 00:21:08.147
  • And i really hope that he watches this show someday.
  • 00:21:08.147 --> 00:21:12.552
  • I hope so, in a few days even.
  • 00:21:12.552 --> 00:21:14.620
  • And i have a funny thing
  • 00:21:15.154 --> 00:21:16.823
  • To say about that.
  • 00:21:16.823 --> 00:21:18.191
  • I was in a summit in miami,
  • 00:21:18.191 --> 00:21:20.960
  • And witkoff was there,
  • 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.262
  • The messenger of the president,
  • 00:21:23.262 --> 00:21:26.499
  • And i actually caught him
  • 00:21:26.499 --> 00:21:29.101
  • In hands,
  • 00:21:29.101 --> 00:21:30.303
  • And i told him exactly these things in a very few words.
  • 00:21:30.303 --> 00:21:35.908
  • I didn't have so many minutes,
  • 00:21:35.908 --> 00:21:38.377
  • But i said it.
  • 00:21:38.377 --> 00:21:39.946
  • This regime is a liar.
  • 00:21:40.413 --> 00:21:42.815
  • These are worse
  • 00:21:43.182 --> 00:21:44.650
  • Than it was before.
  • 00:21:44.650 --> 00:21:46.953
  • Don't negotiate with them.
  • 00:21:46.953 --> 00:21:48.921
  • Make them beg,
  • 00:21:49.255 --> 00:21:50.556
  • And not us begging them.
  • 00:21:50.556 --> 00:21:52.725
  • This is the main thing.
  • 00:21:52.725 --> 00:21:54.427
  • We don't have to pursue them.
  • 00:21:54.427 --> 00:21:55.828
  • They have to pursue us,
  • 00:21:55.828 --> 00:21:56.996
  • And they are not.
  • 00:21:56.996 --> 00:21:58.397
  • This means for me
  • 00:21:58.397 --> 00:21:59.365
  • That they don't want
  • 00:21:59.365 --> 00:22:00.533
  • Any kind of agreement.
  • 00:22:00.533 --> 00:22:02.068
  • If they don't want
  • 00:22:02.068 --> 00:22:03.102
  • To come to new york,
  • 00:22:03.102 --> 00:22:04.270
  • Or to pakistan, or anywhere,
  • 00:22:04.270 --> 00:22:05.838
  • And they have these clashes
  • 00:22:05.838 --> 00:22:07.406
  • With themselves,
  • 00:22:07.406 --> 00:22:08.341
  • Who is more radical,
  • 00:22:08.341 --> 00:22:09.475
  • This is a very bad thing.
  • 00:22:09.475 --> 00:22:11.410
  • And this means for me
  • 00:22:11.410 --> 00:22:13.112
  • That the only solution
  • 00:22:13.112 --> 00:22:14.981
  • Is eliminating those few
  • 00:22:14.981 --> 00:22:17.016
  • Remained irgc generals,
  • 00:22:17.016 --> 00:22:18.918
  • And letting other powers
  • 00:22:18.918 --> 00:22:20.887
  • To come up and take the place,
  • 00:22:20.887 --> 00:22:23.389
  • Because there are inside iran
  • 00:22:23.389 --> 00:22:25.791
  • And outside iran.
  • 00:22:25.791 --> 00:22:27.627
  • This also gives hope
  • 00:22:27.627 --> 00:22:28.928
  • To the people.
  • 00:22:28.928 --> 00:22:30.229
  • They can see that the barriers,
  • 00:22:30.229 --> 00:22:32.698
  • Not only the physical,
  • 00:22:32.698 --> 00:22:34.467
  • But those generals have so much
  • 00:22:34.467 --> 00:22:36.936
  • Blood, of iranian blood,
  • 00:22:36.936 --> 00:22:38.838
  • And also jewish blood,
  • 00:22:38.838 --> 00:22:40.573
  • And christian blood
  • 00:22:40.573 --> 00:22:42.108
  • On their hands,
  • 00:22:42.108 --> 00:22:43.342
  • From the christian
  • 00:22:43.342 --> 00:22:44.810
  • Minority inside iran.
  • 00:22:44.810 --> 00:22:46.546
  • You know one thing
  • 00:22:46.979 --> 00:22:48.347
  • I have to say,
  • 00:22:48.347 --> 00:22:49.415
  • Many iranians convert
  • 00:22:49.415 --> 00:22:51.017
  • To christianity,
  • 00:22:51.017 --> 00:22:52.251
  • And they arrest them,
  • 00:22:52.251 --> 00:22:53.786
  • And they hang them.
  • 00:22:53.786 --> 00:22:55.354
  • I deeply appreciate
  • 00:22:55.821 --> 00:22:56.656
  • Your expertise benny.
  • 00:22:56.656 --> 00:22:57.790
  • Thank you for coming
  • 00:22:57.790 --> 00:22:58.558
  • On the show,
  • 00:22:58.558 --> 00:22:59.025
  • And we're going
  • 00:22:59.025 --> 00:22:59.725
  • To definitely have you on again.
  • 00:22:59.725 --> 00:23:01.093
  • Thank you very much.
  • 00:23:01.093 --> 00:23:02.128
  • Thank you.
  • 00:23:02.128 --> 00:23:03.195
  • In the end, this is not only
  • 00:23:03.195 --> 00:23:05.031
  • A question of tactics.
  • 00:23:05.031 --> 00:23:06.499
  • It's a question of understanding
  • 00:23:07.133 --> 00:23:08.401
  • The enemy.
  • 00:23:08.401 --> 00:23:09.602
  • Trump can look like
  • 00:23:09.602 --> 00:23:10.636
  • He is buying time,
  • 00:23:10.636 --> 00:23:11.637
  • But sometimes
  • 00:23:11.637 --> 00:23:12.338
  • In american history,
  • 00:23:12.338 --> 00:23:13.539
  • That time was part of the operation, and the preparation.
  • 00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:16.509
  • Bush spoke about diplomacy,
  • 00:23:17.109 --> 00:23:18.678
  • Until the ultimatum came.
  • 00:23:18.678 --> 00:23:20.713
  • Obama spoke about choice,
  • 00:23:20.713 --> 00:23:22.114
  • Until the aircraft took off.
  • 00:23:22.114 --> 00:23:24.350
  • And today trump is talking about a big, and meaningful deal.
  • 00:23:24.350 --> 00:23:27.887
  • But he is also telling
  • 00:23:28.354 --> 00:23:29.555
  • His people not to rush.
  • 00:23:29.555 --> 00:23:30.923
  • He's keeping the military
  • 00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:32.725
  • In the region.
  • 00:23:32.725 --> 00:23:33.826
  • He's keeping
  • 00:23:33.826 --> 00:23:34.527
  • The economic pressure,
  • 00:23:34.527 --> 00:23:35.828
  • And he's keeping the threat
  • 00:23:35.828 --> 00:23:37.396
  • On the table.
  • 00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:38.331
  • The difference is that in iran,
  • 00:23:38.331 --> 00:23:40.333
  • There may not be one person
  • 00:23:40.333 --> 00:23:42.101
  • Capable of making that threat,
  • 00:23:42.101 --> 00:23:44.070
  • And turning it into a decision.
  • 00:23:44.070 --> 00:23:46.472
  • Maybe that's a real danger?
  • 00:23:46.472 --> 00:23:47.940
  • Not only nuclear, not only
  • 00:23:48.507 --> 00:23:50.376
  • Missiles, not only homs,
  • 00:23:50.376 --> 00:23:52.111
  • But an armed,
  • 00:23:52.111 --> 00:23:53.045
  • Wounded, frightened,
  • 00:23:53.045 --> 00:23:54.513
  • And divided regime,
  • 00:23:54.513 --> 00:23:55.881
  • Holding an entire country,
  • 00:23:55.881 --> 00:23:57.750
  • But unable
  • 00:23:57.750 --> 00:23:58.484
  • To answer a single question.
  • 00:23:58.484 --> 00:24:00.586
  • Who here has the power
  • 00:24:01.053 --> 00:24:03.322
  • To say yes?
  • 00:24:03.322 --> 00:24:05.124
  • This is the most dangerous moment.
  • 00:24:05.124 --> 00:24:07.126
  • Not when the war is visible,
  • 00:24:07.126 --> 00:24:08.494
  • But when the agreement
  • 00:24:08.494 --> 00:24:09.562
  • Is almost ready,
  • 00:24:09.562 --> 00:24:10.363
  • And the other side
  • 00:24:10.363 --> 00:24:11.263
  • Is still building power.
  • 00:24:11.263 --> 00:24:12.898
  • Will trump turn military
  • 00:24:12.898 --> 00:24:14.166
  • Pressure into a real agreement?
  • 00:24:14.166 --> 00:24:15.835
  • Or will iran use diplomacy
  • 00:24:15.835 --> 00:24:18.004
  • To reload its weapons?
  • 00:24:18.004 --> 00:24:20.339
  • So, keep spreading
  • 00:24:20.773 --> 00:24:21.641
  • The truth, guys.
  • 00:24:21.641 --> 00:24:22.875
  • Follow us, and most importantly,

  • And never miss boots
  • 00:24:29.715 --> 00:24:30.850
  • On the ground.
  • 00:24:30.850 --> 00:24:32.018
  • Keep looking

  • 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.028
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:24:42.028 --> 00:24:43.663
  • We're commanded, biblically,
  • 00:24:43.663 --> 00:24:45.164
  • Whether you read
  • 00:24:45.164 --> 00:24:46.065
  • The new testament,
  • 00:24:46.065 --> 00:24:47.099
  • The old testament,
  • 00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:48.067
  • Or both, to pray
  • 00:24:48.067 --> 00:24:48.968
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:24:48.968 --> 00:24:50.503
  • So, i want
  • 00:24:50.503 --> 00:24:51.170
  • To challenge you right now,
  • 00:24:51.170 --> 00:24:52.505
  • As you're watching this video,
  • 00:24:52.505 --> 00:24:54.073
  • To continuously pray
  • 00:24:54.073 --> 00:24:55.141
  • For the peace of jerusalem,
  • 00:24:55.141 --> 00:24:56.575
  • For the peace of the israeli people,
  • 00:24:56.575 --> 00:24:58.477
  • For god's will in the middle east to be done,
  • 00:24:58.477 --> 00:25:00.813
  • And for the evil iranian regime
  • 00:25:00.813 --> 00:25:02.448
  • To be removed sooner
  • 00:25:02.448 --> 00:25:03.516
  • Rather than later.
  • 00:25:03.516 --> 00:25:04.917
  • Be blessed, guys,
  • 00:25:04.917 --> 00:25:05.751
  • And we'll see you all next time.
  • 00:25:05.751 --> 00:25:12.158
  • We hope you liked our report.
  • 00:25:12.792 --> 00:25:14.460
  • Now, we will go
  • 00:25:14.827 --> 00:25:15.761
  • To a short commercial break
  • 00:25:15.761 --> 00:25:17.430
  • After which we will return
  • 00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:18.998
  • So that we can pray together.
  • 00:25:18.998 --> 00:25:24.997
  • So that we can pray together.
  • 00:25:24.997 --> 00:25:28.475
  • Thank you very much
  • 00:25:28.942 --> 00:25:29.876
  • For coming back to us.
  • 00:25:29.876 --> 00:25:31.178
  • Now, let me remind you
  • 00:25:31.178 --> 00:25:32.379
  • That this is a spiritual war.
  • 00:25:32.379 --> 00:25:34.247
  • There's no other reason for all
  • 00:25:34.881 --> 00:25:37.050
  • These nations around the world
  • 00:25:37.050 --> 00:25:39.119
  • To hate the jewish people,
  • 00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:40.921
  • To hate israel so much.
  • 00:25:40.921 --> 00:25:42.522
  • We do not have natural resources.
  • 00:25:43.223 --> 00:25:45.192
  • We do not have oil.
  • 00:25:45.192 --> 00:25:46.459
  • We do not have gas.
  • 00:25:46.459 --> 00:25:47.494
  • But what we do have is god's faithfulness.
  • 00:25:47.494 --> 00:25:51.498
  • He made promises
  • 00:25:51.898 --> 00:25:53.099
  • To our ancestors,
  • 00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:54.401
  • Abram, isaac, jacob in the bible,
  • 00:25:54.401 --> 00:25:56.837
  • And he keeps
  • 00:25:56.837 --> 00:25:57.737
  • These promises today.
  • 00:25:57.737 --> 00:25:59.472
  • And he's using israel
  • 00:25:59.472 --> 00:26:00.774
  • To show the world
  • 00:26:00.774 --> 00:26:01.808
  • That he's a faithful god.
  • 00:26:01.808 --> 00:26:03.443
  • You know what else i learned?
  • 00:26:04.077 --> 00:26:05.712
  • I learned that god is listening
  • 00:26:05.712 --> 00:26:08.415
  • To prayers.
  • 00:26:08.415 --> 00:26:09.749
  • So, i encourage you
  • 00:26:10.217 --> 00:26:11.384
  • To take time,
  • 00:26:11.384 --> 00:26:12.219
  • Talk to him about what you're
  • 00:26:12.219 --> 00:26:13.987
  • Going through in your lives.
  • 00:26:13.987 --> 00:26:16.323
  • Tell him these struggles,
  • 00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:19.059
  • And he will act in your life.
  • 00:26:19.059 --> 00:26:21.795
  • So, when you're praying
  • 00:26:21.795 --> 00:26:23.029
  • For this situation,
  • 00:26:23.029 --> 00:26:24.030
  • Pray for wisdom to our leaders.
  • 00:26:24.030 --> 00:26:26.166
  • Pray for the children of the northern communities of israel
  • 00:26:26.166 --> 00:26:29.002
  • That are under rockets now.
  • 00:26:29.002 --> 00:26:30.837
  • Pray for the iranian people
  • 00:26:31.438 --> 00:26:33.106
  • That are under this terrible,
  • 00:26:33.106 --> 00:26:34.908
  • Tyrannical regime.
  • 00:26:34.908 --> 00:26:36.710
  • And keep praying
  • 00:26:37.110 --> 00:26:37.944
  • For the peace of jerusalem. amen.
  • 00:26:37.944 --> 00:26:37.944
