  • This all began,
  • 00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:30.006
  • All of it, when
  • 00:02:30.006 --> 00:02:31.107
  • The revolutionary guards decided
  • 00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:33.476
  • To stretch the line with the united states to the limit.
  • 00:02:33.476 --> 00:02:37.747

  • With missiles by iran.
  • 00:02:53.363 --> 00:02:54.897
  • In the afternoon,
  • 00:02:55.331 --> 00:02:56.466
  • At least one additional
  • 00:02:56.466 --> 00:02:58.034

  • 00:02:58.034 --> 00:03:00.203
  • Where the
  • 00:03:00.203 --> 00:03:01.237
  • United kingdom maritime trade operations agency,
  • 00:03:01.237 --> 00:03:04.040
  • With the lovely
  • 00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.041
  • Acronym of ukmto,
  • 00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:06.209

  • By the iranians.
  • 00:03:09.612 --> 00:03:11.247
  • Now look, the qatari gas tanker

  • That was hit last night was carrying liquefied natural gas.
  • 00:03:13.583 --> 00:03:18.454
  • And after it was hit
  • 00:03:18.454 --> 00:03:19.522
  • On its left side,
  • 00:03:19.522 --> 00:03:20.456
  • It transmitted distress signals
  • 00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:22.158
  • And requested assistance.

  • A short time later,
  • 00:03:23.526 --> 00:03:24.661
  • A fire broke out on it,
  • 00:03:24.661 --> 00:03:26.095
  • And right now it could explode
  • 00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:27.964
  • At any minute.
  • 00:03:27.964 --> 00:03:29.532
  • Washington rightly blames tehran
  • 00:03:29.532 --> 00:03:31.434
  • For these attacks,

  • That this is a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
  • 00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:36.973
  • And iran,
  • 00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:37.774
  • On the other hand,
  • 00:03:37.774 --> 00:03:38.741
  • Rejects the accusations
  • 00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.976
  • And claims
  • 00:03:39.976 --> 00:03:41.210
  • That the united states is the one escalating the tensions.
  • 00:03:41.210 --> 00:03:43.846
  • And since the united states
  • 00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:45.982
  • And iran agreed on the memorandum of understanding,
  • 00:03:45.982 --> 00:03:48.851
  • Which was meant
  • 00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:49.719
  • To once again allow safe passage
  • 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.554
  • Through the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:53.189
  • At least four commercial ships
  • 00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.891
  • Have been attacked or damaged,
  • 00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:56.592

  • That were attacked last night.
  • 00:03:58.027 --> 00:04:00.129
  • The shooting last night took
  • 00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:02.365
  • Place after the talks
  • 00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:03.599
  • Between the sides
  • 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.634
  • In qatar last week,
  • 00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:05.702
  • Which as far as i know,
  • 00:04:05.702 --> 00:04:07.036
  • Did not lead to significant
  • 00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:08.638
  • Progress in the context
  • 00:04:08.638 --> 00:04:10.006
  • To achieve a final
  • 00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.040
  • And permanent agreement.
  • 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:12.709
  • I'm just saying,
  • 00:04:13.109 --> 00:04:14.344
  • While the united states was celebrating its 250th birthday,
  • 00:04:14.344 --> 00:04:18.014
  • The revolutionary guards
  • 00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:19.615
  • In iran attacked
  • 00:04:19.615 --> 00:04:20.717
  • At least four different tankers.
  • 00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:23.252
  • One of them was hit so badly
  • 00:04:23.252 --> 00:04:25.421
  • That it could explode.
  • 00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:27.690
  • The iranian move required
  • 00:04:28.257 --> 00:04:29.859
  • A military response,
  • 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:31.127
  • And last night an american
  • 00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:32.795
  • Official said that the united states had decided
  • 00:04:32.795 --> 00:04:35.832
  • To cancel the licensing
  • 00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.266
  • That allowed the sale of iranian

  • Oil after at least three
  • 00:04:39.302 --> 00:04:40.870
  • Tankers were attacked,
  • 00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:42.305
  • As stated by iran.
  • 00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:43.573
  • At the same time
  • 00:04:43.973 --> 00:04:45.041
  • As the renewal of sanctions,
  • 00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:46.976
  • The same official warned
  • 00:04:46.976 --> 00:04:48.611
  • That iran's actions in hormuz
  • 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:50.613
  • Are completely unacceptable,
  • 00:04:50.613 --> 00:04:52.548
  • And said that they would have consequences.
  • 00:04:52.548 --> 00:04:55.685
  • And the consequences did indeed
  • 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.855
  • Arrive, at full force.
  • 00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:00.923

  • And the coffin

  • That came to receive it.
  • 00:07:38.147 --> 00:07:40.049
  • But a short time after the attacks on the tankers,
  • 00:07:40.049 --> 00:07:42.752
  • Iran's president left iraq
  • 00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:44.186

  • These are their words,
  • 00:07:52.995 --> 00:07:54.297
  • Of blatant aggression
  • 00:07:54.297 --> 00:07:55.565
  • Following the strikes,
  • 00:07:55.565 --> 00:07:56.899
  • And warned that the iranian
  • 00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.467
  • Armed forces would respond
  • 00:07:58.467 --> 00:08:00.036
  • With a crushing response.
  • 00:08:00.036 --> 00:08:01.671

  • The united states
  • 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:05.975
  • To interfere in the management of the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:08:05.975 --> 00:08:08.844
  • And that the only safe route
  • 00:08:08.844 --> 00:08:10.413
  • For commercial ships
  • 00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:11.514
  • And oil tankers is the one
  • 00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:13.015
  • Determined by iran.
  • 00:08:13.015 --> 00:08:14.884
  • The speaker of the iranian parliament,
  • 00:08:14.884 --> 00:08:16.752
  • Mohammad bagher ghalibaf,
  • 00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:17.954
  • Referred in a post he wrote
  • 00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:19.288
  • On x to the american strikes,
  • 00:08:19.288 --> 00:08:20.723
  • The return of sanctions on oil,
  • 00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:22.224
  • And what is happening
  • 00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:23.259
  • In the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:24.427
  • He said that the era of bullying
  • 00:08:24.427 --> 00:08:26.529
  • And extortion is over.
  • 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:28.130
  • He also said
  • 00:08:28.464 --> 00:08:29.098
  • That it leads nowhere.
  • 00:08:29.098 --> 00:08:30.733
  • We are not folding.
  • 00:08:30.733 --> 00:08:32.635
  • Look, before the renewal of the strikes in iran,
  • 00:08:32.635 --> 00:08:34.737
  • And the announcement
  • 00:08:34.737 --> 00:08:35.638
  • About cancelling the suspension,
  • 00:08:35.638 --> 00:08:37.073
  • The united states warned iran
  • 00:08:37.073 --> 00:08:38.374
  • Through the mediators qatar
  • 00:08:38.374 --> 00:08:39.609
  • And pakistan.
  • 00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:40.810
  • And the message was clear.
  • 00:08:40.810 --> 00:08:41.978
  • If iran continues
  • 00:08:42.411 --> 00:08:43.446
  • Attacking tankers and ships
  • 00:08:43.446 --> 00:08:45.114
  • In the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:08:45.114 --> 00:08:46.549
  • The sanctions will return.
  • 00:08:46.549 --> 00:08:48.551
  • That's exactly what happened,
  • 00:08:48.551 --> 00:08:49.685
  • By the way.
  • 00:08:49.685 --> 00:08:50.953
  • Now, iranian foreign
  • 00:08:50.953 --> 00:08:52.088
  • Minister abbas araghchi,
  • 00:08:52.088 --> 00:08:53.489
  • He replied that the leaders of the revolutionary guards demand
  • 00:08:53.489 --> 00:08:56.993
  • That washington
  • 00:08:56.993 --> 00:08:57.893
  • Remove its opposition
  • 00:08:57.893 --> 00:08:59.128
  • To imposing transit fees
  • 00:08:59.128 --> 00:09:00.496
  • Throughout the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:09:00.496 --> 00:09:02.565
  • And qatar added
  • 00:09:02.932 --> 00:09:03.899
  • A warning of its own,
  • 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:05.234
  • After a liquefied natural gas
  • 00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:07.069
  • Tanker owned by it was attacked,
  • 00:09:07.069 --> 00:09:09.071
  • And it still could explode
  • 00:09:09.071 --> 00:09:10.706
  • At any moment.
  • 00:09:10.706 --> 00:09:11.874
  • And in doha,
  • 00:09:12.208 --> 00:09:12.975
  • They informed tehran
  • 00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:14.210
  • That qatar would not advance
  • 00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:16.012
  • The unfreezing of iranian
  • 00:09:16.012 --> 00:09:17.647
  • Funds deposited
  • 00:09:17.647 --> 00:09:18.614
  • Throughout its banking system.
  • 00:09:18.614 --> 00:09:20.916
  • However, it appears
  • 00:09:21.384 --> 00:09:22.485
  • That at this stage,
  • 00:09:22.485 --> 00:09:23.586
  • The united states
  • 00:09:23.586 --> 00:09:24.587
  • Will not return
  • 00:09:24.587 --> 00:09:25.454
  • To implementing
  • 00:09:25.454 --> 00:09:26.355
  • The naval blockade,
  • 00:09:26.355 --> 00:09:27.456
  • And will make do with enforcing
  • 00:09:27.456 --> 00:09:29.225
  • The sanctions as they were before the war started.
  • 00:09:29.225 --> 00:09:32.194
  • This is a cruel game.
  • 00:09:32.695 --> 00:09:34.096
  • Iran is left alone with enormous
  • 00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:37.199
  • Oil surpluses at sea.
  • 00:09:37.199 --> 00:09:39.335
  • The global oil market
  • 00:09:39.335 --> 00:09:40.736
  • Is overloaded right now.
  • 00:09:40.736 --> 00:09:42.371
  • Iran has enormous oil reserves
  • 00:09:42.371 --> 00:09:44.473
  • In its tankers,
  • 00:09:44.473 --> 00:09:45.541
  • But they have nowhere
  • 00:09:45.541 --> 00:09:47.009
  • To be sold.
  • 00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:48.544
  • 40 million barrels of oil
  • 00:09:48.544 --> 00:09:50.179
  • Are stuck at sea.
  • 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.814
  • As you can see, this is a very tense night in the middle east.
  • 00:09:51.814 --> 00:09:55.785
  • This night is shaping up to be one of the most tense nights
  • 00:09:55.785 --> 00:09:59.655
  • In the region in recent times.
  • 00:09:59.655 --> 00:10:01.824
  • While global attention
  • 00:10:02.291 --> 00:10:03.659
  • Is focused on the combined
  • 00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:05.294
  • Attack led by the united states
  • 00:10:05.294 --> 00:10:07.196
  • Against military targets
  • 00:10:07.196 --> 00:10:08.664
  • In iran,
  • 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:09.165
  • As a direct response
  • 00:10:09.165 --> 00:10:10.366
  • To the attack on the ships
  • 00:10:10.366 --> 00:10:11.934
  • In the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:10:11.934 --> 00:10:13.402
  • Israel's northern front
  • 00:10:13.402 --> 00:10:14.870
  • Also does not remain quiet.
  • 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:16.806
  • Sources in lebanon report
  • 00:10:17.373 --> 00:10:19.008
  • That air force fighter jets
  • 00:10:19.008 --> 00:10:20.810
  • Struck in the early mornings
  • 00:10:20.810 --> 00:10:22.712
  • In the area of the outskirts of nabatiyah al-faqwa
  • 00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:25.981
  • And in the village of mayfudun.
  • 00:10:25.981 --> 00:10:28.684
  • This appears to be a determined
  • 00:10:28.684 --> 00:10:30.553
  • Israeli action meant
  • 00:10:30.553 --> 00:10:31.754
  • To make clear
  • 00:10:31.754 --> 00:10:32.521
  • To its enemies that even
  • 00:10:32.521 --> 00:10:33.923
  • When the world is looking
  • 00:10:33.923 --> 00:10:35.424
  • Somewhere else,
  • 00:10:35.424 --> 00:10:36.358
  • Our security remains
  • 00:10:36.358 --> 00:10:37.526

  • 00:11:30.713 --> 00:11:32.782
  • After which we'll return to you
  • 00:11:32.782 --> 00:11:35.017
  • With a story from the city of none other than abraham,
  • 00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:38.921
  • Our forefather,
  • 00:11:38.921 --> 00:11:39.989
  • The city of hebron.
  • 00:11:39.989 --> 00:11:46.004
  • The city of hebron.
  • 00:11:46.004 --> 00:11:51.223
  • Welcome back.
  • 00:11:51.590 --> 00:11:52.657
  • If you haven't already,
  • 00:11:53.158 --> 00:11:54.392
  • Be sure to subscribe to the tbn israel youtube channel,
  • 00:11:54.392 --> 00:11:57.395
  • Where we publish a full-length
  • 00:11:57.395 --> 00:11:59.030
  • Daily news program covering
  • 00:11:59.030 --> 00:12:00.565
  • Everything happening here
  • 00:12:00.565 --> 00:12:01.967
  • In israel
  • 00:12:01.967 --> 00:12:02.667
  • And throughout the middle east.
  • 00:12:02.667 --> 00:12:04.436
  • As we've seen,
  • 00:12:04.436 --> 00:12:05.370
  • Iran continues trying
  • 00:12:05.370 --> 00:12:06.838
  • To use lebanon, hezbollah,
  • 00:12:06.838 --> 00:12:08.640
  • And its negotiations
  • 00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:09.975
  • With the united states as tools
  • 00:12:09.975 --> 00:12:12.110
  • To expand its influence
  • 00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:13.712
  • Across the region.
  • 00:12:13.712 --> 00:12:15.113
  • But there's another front
  • 00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:17.182
  • That receives far less
  • 00:12:17.182 --> 00:12:18.516
  • International attention,
  • 00:12:18.516 --> 00:12:19.951
  • Even though it's becoming
  • 00:12:19.951 --> 00:12:21.453
  • Increasingly volatile.
  • 00:12:21.453 --> 00:12:22.787
  • That's judea and samaria.
  • 00:12:23.355 --> 00:12:25.090
  • For quite some time,
  • 00:12:25.557 --> 00:12:26.825
  • Israel's security
  • 00:12:26.825 --> 00:12:27.959
  • Establishment has warned
  • 00:12:27.959 --> 00:12:29.561
  • That iran is attempting
  • 00:12:29.561 --> 00:12:31.062
  • To funnel weapons, funding,
  • 00:12:31.062 --> 00:12:32.831
  • And operational
  • 00:12:32.831 --> 00:12:33.798
  • Expertise into this area
  • 00:12:33.798 --> 00:12:35.367
  • For an effort to strengthen
  • 00:12:35.367 --> 00:12:37.135
  • Local terrorist networks.
  • 00:12:37.135 --> 00:12:39.371
  • At the center of that challenge
  • 00:12:39.371 --> 00:12:41.606
  • Stands one of the most complex cities
  • 00:12:41.606 --> 00:12:44.276
  • In the middle east,
  • 00:12:44.276 --> 00:12:45.610
  • Hebron, hebron in english,
  • 00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:47.445
  • A city where biblical history,
  • 00:12:47.445 --> 00:12:49.581
  • Modern politics, security,
  • 00:12:49.581 --> 00:12:51.449
  • And faith all intersect.
  • 00:12:51.449 --> 00:12:53.184
  • I recently traveled to hebron,
  • 00:12:53.785 --> 00:12:55.587
  • Visited both
  • 00:12:55.587 --> 00:12:56.321
  • The cave of the patriarchs
  • 00:12:56.321 --> 00:12:57.923
  • And the historic abraham avinu synagogue
  • 00:12:57.923 --> 00:13:00.358
  • To better understand
  • 00:13:00.358 --> 00:13:01.593
  • Why the city continues
  • 00:13:01.593 --> 00:13:02.961
  • To play such a critical role
  • 00:13:02.961 --> 00:13:04.663
  • In israel's security
  • 00:13:04.663 --> 00:13:05.897
  • And how the broader influence
  • 00:13:05.897 --> 00:13:07.632
  • And conflict is influencing
  • 00:13:07.632 --> 00:13:09.267
  • And affecting what is happening
  • 00:13:09.267 --> 00:13:11.169
  • Here in the heart of judea
  • 00:13:11.169 --> 00:13:12.804
  • And samaria.
  • 00:13:12.804 --> 00:13:14.105
  • After long hours of talks
  • 00:13:14.105 --> 00:13:15.740
  • Between the united states
  • 00:13:15.740 --> 00:13:17.375
  • And iran,
  • 00:13:17.375 --> 00:13:18.610
  • A new mechanism was born that is supposed to calm lebanon.
  • 00:13:18.610 --> 00:13:22.113
  • On paper,
  • 00:13:22.414 --> 00:13:23.048
  • It sounds like diplomacy,
  • 00:13:23.048 --> 00:13:24.849
  • But in reality,
  • 00:13:24.849 --> 00:13:25.917
  • Iran is trying
  • 00:13:25.917 --> 00:13:26.918
  • To insert itself into the room
  • 00:13:26.918 --> 00:13:29.087
  • Where hezbollah
  • 00:13:29.087 --> 00:13:30.221
  • Is being discussed.
  • 00:13:30.221 --> 00:13:31.690
  • While the idf is still holding
  • 00:13:32.290 --> 00:13:34.259
  • Positions in southern lebanon,
  • 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:36.227
  • Exposing tunnels,
  • 00:13:36.227 --> 00:13:37.329
  • And operating against infrastructure that was built
  • 00:13:37.329 --> 00:13:40.665
  • For years with iranian cash,
  • 00:13:40.665 --> 00:13:42.500
  • Iranian knowledge,
  • 00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.668
  • And iranian weaponry.
  • 00:13:43.668 --> 00:13:45.537
  • The question now is very clear.
  • 00:13:45.537 --> 00:13:47.339
  • If iran is trying
  • 00:13:47.772 --> 00:13:48.940
  • To save hezbollah
  • 00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:50.108
  • Through the negotiation table,
  • 00:13:50.108 --> 00:13:52.077
  • What will it try and do in the next arena when it wants
  • 00:13:52.077 --> 00:13:55.747
  • To see weapons, money,
  • 00:13:55.747 --> 00:13:57.248
  • And terror cells operating
  • 00:13:57.248 --> 00:13:58.984
  • Against israel?
  • 00:13:58.984 --> 00:14:00.452
  • That arena is judea and samaria.
  • 00:14:00.452 --> 00:14:03.788
  • And today,
  • 00:14:04.089 --> 00:14:05.290
  • We're standing in one of its most sensitive places, hebron.
  • 00:14:05.290 --> 00:14:09.794
  • I'm mati shoshani, and this is ground report.
  • 00:14:09.794 --> 00:14:15.467
  • Hebron is not just another city.
  • 00:14:16.101 --> 00:14:18.370
  • It is a place where the bible,
  • 00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:20.705
  • Security, terrorism, american
  • 00:14:20.705 --> 00:14:23.008
  • Diplomacy, israeli sovereignty,
  • 00:14:23.008 --> 00:14:25.443
  • And palestinian politics
  • 00:14:25.443 --> 00:14:27.345
  • All meet on the same street.
  • 00:14:27.345 --> 00:14:30.015
  • Here stands
  • 00:14:30.348 --> 00:14:31.182
  • The cave of the patriarchs.
  • 00:14:31.182 --> 00:14:33.318
  • The place where,
  • 00:14:33.718 --> 00:14:35.387
  • According to jewish tradition,
  • 00:14:35.387 --> 00:14:38.556
  • Abraham, sarah,
  • 00:14:38.556 --> 00:14:40.158
  • Isaac, rebecca, jacob,
  • 00:14:40.158 --> 00:14:42.527
  • And leah are buried.
  • 00:14:42.527 --> 00:14:44.996
  • And here, just a few steps away,
  • 00:14:44.996 --> 00:14:47.399
  • There are checkpoints.
  • 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.167
  • There are soldiers,
  • 00:14:49.634 --> 00:14:50.935
  • Closed alleyways, jewish homes,
  • 00:14:50.935 --> 00:14:53.038
  • Palestinian neighborhoods,
  • 00:14:53.038 --> 00:14:54.773
  • And the ancient abraham,
  • 00:14:54.773 --> 00:14:56.374
  • Our father, synagogue.
  • 00:14:56.374 --> 00:14:58.209
  • This is the place where
  • 00:14:58.710 --> 00:15:00.111
  • History is not inside a book.
  • 00:15:00.111 --> 00:15:01.946
  • It stands in front of you
  • 00:15:02.514 --> 00:15:04.282
  • With a vest, a metal detector,
  • 00:15:04.282 --> 00:15:06.418
  • Security cameras,
  • 00:15:06.418 --> 00:15:07.619
  • And a prayer taking place next
  • 00:15:07.619 --> 00:15:09.687
  • To a security checkpoint.
  • 00:15:09.687 --> 00:15:11.923
  • In recent days,
  • 00:15:12.290 --> 00:15:13.191
  • Hebron returned to the headlines
  • 00:15:13.191 --> 00:15:15.126
  • Because of a very sensitive
  • 00:15:15.126 --> 00:15:16.761
  • Political and legal move.
  • 00:15:16.761 --> 00:15:18.997
  • Bezalel smotrich, an israeli minister,
  • 00:15:18.997 --> 00:15:21.232
  • Declared that israel
  • 00:15:21.232 --> 00:15:22.467
  • Is canceling
  • 00:15:22.467 --> 00:15:23.201
  • The hebron arrangements
  • 00:15:23.201 --> 00:15:24.602
  • In the field of planning
  • 00:15:24.602 --> 00:15:26.004
  • And construction around the jewish community in the city,
  • 00:15:26.004 --> 00:15:29.374
  • The cave of the patriarchs,
  • 00:15:29.374 --> 00:15:30.975
  • And jewish heritage sites.
  • 00:15:30.975 --> 00:15:32.710
  • According to him,
  • 00:15:33.144 --> 00:15:34.312
  • The powers that depend
  • 00:15:34.312 --> 00:15:35.814
  • On the palestinian hebron
  • 00:15:35.814 --> 00:15:37.582
  • Municipality are being moved
  • 00:15:37.582 --> 00:15:39.551
  • To an israeli track.
  • 00:15:39.551 --> 00:15:41.086
  • Israel's foreign ministry
  • 00:15:41.653 --> 00:15:43.054
  • Quickly clarified,
  • 00:15:43.054 --> 00:15:44.055
  • The entire hebron agreement
  • 00:15:44.055 --> 00:15:45.557
  • Has not been canceled.
  • 00:15:45.557 --> 00:15:46.825
  • This is a focused decision
  • 00:15:47.392 --> 00:15:48.993
  • In the field of planning
  • 00:15:48.993 --> 00:15:50.528
  • And construction.
  • 00:15:50.528 --> 00:15:51.863
  • That difference matters.
  • 00:15:52.397 --> 00:15:53.498
  • Because in hebron,
  • 00:15:53.932 --> 00:15:55.200
  • Words are not just words.
  • 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.102
  • When an israeli minister says,
  • 00:15:57.702 --> 00:15:59.270
  • We canceled
  • 00:15:59.270 --> 00:15:59.904
  • The hebron agreement,
  • 00:15:59.904 --> 00:16:01.072
  • It sounds like
  • 00:16:01.072 --> 00:16:01.840
  • A sovereignty move.
  • 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.374
  • When the foreign minister says,
  • 00:16:03.374 --> 00:16:05.310
  • We didn't cancel the agreement,
  • 00:16:05.310 --> 00:16:07.245
  • It sounds like an attempt
  • 00:16:07.245 --> 00:16:08.847
  • To keep the event inside
  • 00:16:08.847 --> 00:16:10.381
  • A narrower legal framework.
  • 00:16:10.381 --> 00:16:12.217
  • And the palestinians,
  • 00:16:12.717 --> 00:16:13.952
  • On their side, see this as damage to the status of a city,
  • 00:16:13.952 --> 00:16:17.455
  • A violation of the agreements,
  • 00:16:17.455 --> 00:16:19.290
  • And another step of israeli
  • 00:16:19.290 --> 00:16:20.892
  • Control in the area of the cave of the patriarchs.
  • 00:16:20.892 --> 00:16:23.928
  • Now to understand why
  • 00:16:23.928 --> 00:16:25.363
  • This is so explosive,
  • 00:16:25.363 --> 00:16:26.798
  • We need to go back to 1997.
  • 00:16:26.798 --> 00:16:29.100
  • The hebron agreement,
  • 00:16:29.601 --> 00:16:30.835
  • Signed during benjamin netanyahu's first term
  • 00:16:30.835 --> 00:16:33.571
  • As prime minister
  • 00:16:33.571 --> 00:16:34.606
  • With yasser arafat,
  • 00:16:34.606 --> 00:16:35.740
  • And under american sponsorship,
  • 00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:37.575
  • Divided the city into two areas.
  • 00:16:37.575 --> 00:16:40.078
  • H1, the majority of the city,
  • 00:16:40.078 --> 00:16:41.946
  • Moved to palestinian control.
  • 00:16:41.946 --> 00:16:43.982
  • H2, which includes the old city,
  • 00:16:44.616 --> 00:16:46.684
  • The cave of the patriarchs,
  • 00:16:46.684 --> 00:16:48.453
  • And the jewish community,
  • 00:16:48.453 --> 00:16:50.088
  • Remained under israeli
  • 00:16:50.088 --> 00:16:51.556
  • Security control.
  • 00:16:51.556 --> 00:16:53.191
  • And since then, hebron has lived
  • 00:16:53.191 --> 00:16:55.293
  • Under a very unusual structure,
  • 00:16:55.293 --> 00:16:57.328
  • A large palestinian city
  • 00:16:57.328 --> 00:16:58.930
  • With a small jewish
  • 00:16:58.930 --> 00:17:00.198
  • Community inside of it.
  • 00:17:00.198 --> 00:17:02.200
  • And at the center of everything,
  • 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.435
  • A religious site that is sacred
  • 00:17:04.435 --> 00:17:06.604
  • To jews and muslims.
  • 00:17:06.604 --> 00:17:08.573
  • It's almost unlike anywhere else
  • 00:17:09.207 --> 00:17:10.775
  • In judea and samaria.
  • 00:17:10.775 --> 00:17:12.177
  • Here, a small planning
  • 00:17:12.644 --> 00:17:14.179
  • Change can turn
  • 00:17:14.179 --> 00:17:15.213
  • Into an international question.
  • 00:17:15.213 --> 00:17:17.415
  • Here, a gate that opens
  • 00:17:17.916 --> 00:17:19.350
  • Or closes can become a headline.
  • 00:17:19.350 --> 00:17:21.452
  • Here, a decision
  • 00:17:21.853 --> 00:17:22.754
  • About construction
  • 00:17:22.754 --> 00:17:23.788
  • Can immediately be seen
  • 00:17:23.788 --> 00:17:25.123
  • As a political move.
  • 00:17:25.123 --> 00:17:26.491
  • But this isn't only
  • 00:17:26.958 --> 00:17:27.792
  • A political question.
  • 00:17:27.792 --> 00:17:29.027
  • Hebron is also an active
  • 00:17:29.561 --> 00:17:31.262
  • Terrorist arena.
  • 00:17:31.262 --> 00:17:32.597
  • In recent months,
  • 00:17:33.031 --> 00:17:33.998
  • The idf, shin bet,
  • 00:17:33.998 --> 00:17:34.999
  • And border police
  • 00:17:34.999 --> 00:17:35.967
  • Have operated here
  • 00:17:35.967 --> 00:17:37.001
  • Against hamas infrastructure.
  • 00:17:37.001 --> 00:17:38.803
  • In a single operation,
  • 00:17:39.270 --> 00:17:40.838
  • The forces searched
  • 00:17:40.838 --> 00:17:42.173
  • About 350 buildings,
  • 00:17:42.173 --> 00:17:43.608
  • Arrested 14 wanted suspects,
  • 00:17:43.608 --> 00:17:45.543
  • And confiscated rifles,
  • 00:17:45.543 --> 00:17:47.178
  • Pistols, knives,
  • 00:17:47.178 --> 00:17:48.313
  • And additional weaponry.
  • 00:17:48.313 --> 00:17:50.081
  • In another case,
  • 00:17:50.481 --> 00:17:51.449
  • Three terrorists identified
  • 00:17:51.449 --> 00:17:53.151
  • With hamas were arrested
  • 00:17:53.151 --> 00:17:54.686
  • After, according
  • 00:17:54.686 --> 00:17:55.687
  • To the security establishment,
  • 00:17:55.687 --> 00:17:57.522
  • They planned
  • 00:17:57.522 --> 00:17:58.289
  • To carry out a shooting attack
  • 00:17:58.289 --> 00:18:00.158
  • In the immediate future.
  • 00:18:00.158 --> 00:18:02.060
  • And last year,
  • 00:18:02.393 --> 00:18:03.294
  • The shin bet exposed
  • 00:18:03.294 --> 00:18:04.629
  • In hebron one of the largest
  • 00:18:04.629 --> 00:18:06.497
  • Hamas infrastructures uncovered
  • 00:18:06.497 --> 00:18:08.566
  • In recent years with more than 60 operatives and 22 weapons.
  • 00:18:08.566 --> 00:18:12.770
  • And this is the point where
  • 00:18:13.371 --> 00:18:14.906
  • We need to be very cautious
  • 00:18:14.906 --> 00:18:16.441
  • And precise about iran.
  • 00:18:16.441 --> 00:18:17.775
  • There is no claim here
  • 00:18:18.243 --> 00:18:19.377
  • That iran is behind
  • 00:18:19.377 --> 00:18:20.411
  • The cave of the patriarchs.
  • 00:18:20.411 --> 00:18:22.447
  • There's no claim here that iran
  • 00:18:22.447 --> 00:18:23.881
  • Is behind smotrich's move.
  • 00:18:23.881 --> 00:18:25.149
  • The connection is different,
  • 00:18:25.750 --> 00:18:27.085
  • And it's security-related.
  • 00:18:27.085 --> 00:18:28.653
  • The israeli security
  • 00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:30.355
  • Establishment has been warning
  • 00:18:30.355 --> 00:18:32.257
  • For some time
  • 00:18:32.257 --> 00:18:33.057
  • That iran is trying to bring
  • 00:18:33.057 --> 00:18:34.792
  • Advanced weaponry, money,
  • 00:18:34.792 --> 00:18:36.361
  • And operational knowledge
  • 00:18:36.361 --> 00:18:37.895
  • Into judea and samaria.
  • 00:18:37.895 --> 00:18:39.330
  • Not in order to officially
  • 00:18:39.897 --> 00:18:41.599
  • Declare an iranian front,
  • 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.234
  • But in order
  • 00:18:43.234 --> 00:18:44.402
  • To turn local cells into something far more dangerous.
  • 00:18:44.402 --> 00:18:47.972
  • And when weapons shipments
  • 00:18:47.972 --> 00:18:49.841
  • That originated in iran
  • 00:18:49.841 --> 00:18:51.509
  • Include drones, explosives,
  • 00:18:51.509 --> 00:18:53.478
  • Grenades, machine guns,
  • 00:18:53.478 --> 00:18:55.079
  • And tools that can change
  • 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.881
  • The balance on the ground,
  • 00:18:56.881 --> 00:18:58.750
  • A city like hebron immediately
  • 00:18:58.750 --> 00:19:00.885
  • Becomes a point of concern.
  • 00:19:00.885 --> 00:19:03.254
  • Not because the iranians need
  • 00:19:03.254 --> 00:19:05.256
  • To stand here themselves,
  • 00:19:05.256 --> 00:19:06.958
  • But because hebron is a city
  • 00:19:06.958 --> 00:19:08.893
  • With hamas infrastructure,
  • 00:19:08.893 --> 00:19:10.695
  • A deep memory of terror attacks,
  • 00:19:10.695 --> 00:19:12.864
  • A large population,
  • 00:19:12.864 --> 00:19:14.198
  • A small jewish community,
  • 00:19:14.198 --> 00:19:15.967
  • And a religious site
  • 00:19:15.967 --> 00:19:17.335
  • That the entire world watches.
  • 00:19:17.335 --> 00:19:19.570
  • This is exactly the iranian
  • 00:19:20.171 --> 00:19:22.106
  • Logic we saw in lebanon.
  • 00:19:22.106 --> 00:19:23.975
  • Iran does not always need
  • 00:19:24.542 --> 00:19:25.643
  • To be on the front page.
  • 00:19:25.643 --> 00:19:27.245
  • Sometimes it builds capability,
  • 00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:30.081
  • Arms a local actor,
  • 00:19:30.081 --> 00:19:31.449
  • Waits for a crisis,
  • 00:19:31.449 --> 00:19:32.850
  • And then tries to turn that crisis into a bargaining chip.
  • 00:19:32.850 --> 00:19:37.288
  • In southern lebanon,
  • 00:19:37.755 --> 00:19:38.890
  • That actor is hezbollah.
  • 00:19:38.890 --> 00:19:40.291
  • In judea and samaria,
  • 00:19:40.792 --> 00:19:42.026
  • The israeli concern
  • 00:19:42.026 --> 00:19:43.227
  • Is that local
  • 00:19:43.227 --> 00:19:44.028
  • Cells will receive capabilities
  • 00:19:44.028 --> 00:19:45.897
  • They didn't have beforehand.
  • 00:19:45.897 --> 00:19:48.066
  • And in hebron,
  • 00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:49.334
  • That capability can ignite much
  • 00:19:49.334 --> 00:19:51.502
  • More than just another
  • 00:19:51.502 --> 00:19:53.071
  • Security incident.
  • 00:19:53.071 --> 00:19:54.772
  • And before we continue,
  • 00:19:55.273 --> 00:19:56.607
  • This is the moment
  • 00:19:56.607 --> 00:19:57.642
  • To help us spread the truth.
  • 00:19:57.642 --> 00:19:59.777
  • If this report helps you

  • Understand what
  • 00:20:01.012 --> 00:20:01.813
  • Is really happening
  • 00:20:01.813 --> 00:20:02.847

  • Stands behind the headlines.
  • 00:20:21.966 --> 00:20:25.536
  • Now we need
  • 00:20:25.870 --> 00:20:26.604
  • To enter the place itself.
  • 00:20:26.604 --> 00:20:29.073
  • The cave of the patriarchs is one of the most ancient, sacred,
  • 00:20:29.073 --> 00:20:32.477
  • And sensitive sites in the land.
  • 00:20:32.477 --> 00:20:34.278
  • In the book of genesis,
  • 00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:36.047
  • We're told
  • 00:20:36.047 --> 00:20:36.748
  • That abraham purchased the cave
  • 00:20:36.748 --> 00:20:38.383
  • From ephron the hittite
  • 00:20:38.383 --> 00:20:39.650
  • In order to bury sarah there.
  • 00:20:39.650 --> 00:20:41.252
  • From the perspective of jewish tradition,
  • 00:20:41.252 --> 00:20:44.021
  • This is not only a burial,
  • 00:20:44.021 --> 00:20:45.757
  • It is one of abraham's
  • 00:20:45.757 --> 00:20:47.291
  • First points of hold
  • 00:20:47.291 --> 00:20:48.693
  • In the land of canaan,
  • 00:20:48.693 --> 00:20:50.194
  • A public legal transaction
  • 00:20:50.194 --> 00:20:51.963
  • In a field for the full price.
  • 00:20:51.963 --> 00:20:54.132
  • Above the cave itself stands
  • 00:20:54.732 --> 00:20:56.434
  • A massive stone structure
  • 00:20:56.434 --> 00:20:57.969
  • From the herodian period.
  • 00:20:57.969 --> 00:20:59.637
  • Throughout history, it served
  • 00:21:00.271 --> 00:21:01.973
  • Jews, christians, and muslims.
  • 00:21:01.973 --> 00:21:04.542
  • And today the site is effectively divided into jewish
  • 00:21:04.542 --> 00:21:08.179
  • And muslim prayer areas
  • 00:21:08.179 --> 00:21:09.747
  • With separate entrances,
  • 00:21:09.747 --> 00:21:11.382
  • Special days,
  • 00:21:11.382 --> 00:21:12.250
  • And strict
  • 00:21:12.250 --> 00:21:12.950
  • Security arrangements.
  • 00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:14.652
  • After the massacre carried
  • 00:21:15.219 --> 00:21:16.721
  • Out by baruch goldstein in 1994,
  • 00:21:16.721 --> 00:21:18.523
  • In which 29 muslim
  • 00:21:18.523 --> 00:21:19.590
  • Worshipers were murdered,
  • 00:21:19.590 --> 00:21:21.025
  • The separation inside the compound became much sharper.
  • 00:21:21.025 --> 00:21:24.495
  • Since then, every change
  • 00:21:25.029 --> 00:21:26.431
  • In this place is examined
  • 00:21:26.431 --> 00:21:27.932
  • Not only religiously,
  • 00:21:27.932 --> 00:21:29.167
  • But also from a security
  • 00:21:29.167 --> 00:21:30.568
  • And a political perspective.
  • 00:21:30.568 --> 00:21:32.437
  • Under the structure
  • 00:21:32.904 --> 00:21:33.905
  • Are the caves themselves,
  • 00:21:33.905 --> 00:21:35.239
  • Which are usually close
  • 00:21:35.239 --> 00:21:36.441
  • To the public.
  • 00:21:36.441 --> 00:21:37.508
  • And this is one of the most dramatic details here.
  • 00:21:37.508 --> 00:21:40.077
  • Most people will pray
  • 00:21:40.578 --> 00:21:41.813
  • At the cave of the patriarchs,
  • 00:21:41.813 --> 00:21:43.614
  • Not actually standing
  • 00:21:43.614 --> 00:21:44.882
  • Inside the cave,
  • 00:21:44.882 --> 00:21:45.850
  • But above it.
  • 00:21:45.850 --> 00:21:47.185
  • In the 1960s and 1980s,
  • 00:21:47.185 --> 00:21:48.653
  • Rare examinations were carried
  • 00:21:48.653 --> 00:21:50.588
  • Out in the space between and beneath the building.
  • 00:21:50.588 --> 00:21:54.091
  • In one of the studies,
  • 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:56.027
  • Pottery vessels were found
  • 00:21:56.027 --> 00:21:57.795
  • And dated to the iron age,
  • 00:21:57.795 --> 00:21:59.564
  • To the period of the first temple.
  • 00:21:59.564 --> 00:22:02.233
  • That does not scientifically
  • 00:22:02.233 --> 00:22:03.835
  • Prove who is buried in the cave,
  • 00:22:03.835 --> 00:22:05.670
  • But it does strengthen
  • 00:22:05.670 --> 00:22:06.971
  • The understanding
  • 00:22:06.971 --> 00:22:07.972
  • That the place was known
  • 00:22:07.972 --> 00:22:09.340
  • And held significance already
  • 00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:11.008
  • Thousands of years ago.
  • 00:22:11.008 --> 00:22:13.144
  • And from there, we move to the ancient abraham avinu synagogue.
  • 00:22:13.144 --> 00:22:17.849
  • Now, this synagogue tells
  • 00:22:18.416 --> 00:22:19.984
  • The jewish story of hebron
  • 00:22:19.984 --> 00:22:21.619
  • In a different light,
  • 00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:22.887
  • Not through massive stones
  • 00:22:22.887 --> 00:22:24.522
  • In an ancient cave,
  • 00:22:24.522 --> 00:22:25.690
  • But through a community.
  • 00:22:25.690 --> 00:22:27.291
  • It was built
  • 00:22:27.625 --> 00:22:28.359
  • In the 16th century,
  • 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.594
  • Served as a spiritual center
  • 00:22:29.594 --> 00:22:31.295
  • For the jews of hebron,
  • 00:22:31.295 --> 00:22:32.663
  • Was abandoned
  • 00:22:32.663 --> 00:22:33.464
  • After the 1929 massacre,
  • 00:22:33.464 --> 00:22:34.966
  • And was later rebuilt
  • 00:22:34.966 --> 00:22:36.200
  • After the jewish presence
  • 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.735
  • Returned to the city.
  • 00:22:37.735 --> 00:22:39.136
  • If the cave of the patriarchs
  • 00:22:39.770 --> 00:22:41.806
  • Tells the story of the fathers,
  • 00:22:41.806 --> 00:22:43.975
  • This synagogue tells
  • 00:22:43.975 --> 00:22:45.376
  • The story of the children
  • 00:22:45.376 --> 00:22:47.144
  • Who held on, were uprooted,
  • 00:22:47.144 --> 00:22:49.013
  • And then returned.
  • 00:22:49.013 --> 00:22:50.815
  • But even here,
  • 00:22:51.148 --> 00:22:52.049
  • We must hold the full picture.
  • 00:22:52.049 --> 00:22:54.151
  • Hebron is a holy place for jews,
  • 00:22:54.785 --> 00:22:56.754
  • But it is also a living,
  • 00:22:56.754 --> 00:22:58.222
  • Crowded, sensitive,
  • 00:22:58.222 --> 00:22:59.423
  • And painful palestinian city
  • 00:22:59.423 --> 00:23:01.125
  • Because of the terror organizations
  • 00:23:01.125 --> 00:23:03.294
  • That poison the population.
  • 00:23:03.294 --> 00:23:05.296
  • Every military
  • 00:23:05.630 --> 00:23:06.497
  • Operation here takes
  • 00:23:06.497 --> 00:23:07.732
  • Place inside a civilian space.
  • 00:23:07.732 --> 00:23:10.134
  • This is a city where you need
  • 00:23:10.134 --> 00:23:11.869
  • To see the holiness,
  • 00:23:11.869 --> 00:23:13.070
  • The threat, the security,
  • 00:23:13.070 --> 00:23:14.505
  • And the human price of life
  • 00:23:14.505 --> 00:23:16.140
  • In a place
  • 00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.807
  • Where everything is too close.
  • 00:23:16.807 --> 00:23:18.676
  • Here on the ground,
  • 00:23:19.143 --> 00:23:20.111
  • Everything connects.
  • 00:23:20.111 --> 00:23:21.245
  • Iran is trying to preserve
  • 00:23:21.812 --> 00:23:23.014
  • Hezbollah in lebanon.
  • 00:23:23.014 --> 00:23:24.415
  • Israel is trying
  • 00:23:24.815 --> 00:23:25.716
  • To prevent hezbollah
  • 00:23:25.716 --> 00:23:26.851
  • From returning to the border.
  • 00:23:26.851 --> 00:23:28.553
  • And in judea and samaria,
  • 00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:30.755
  • The security establishment
  • 00:23:30.755 --> 00:23:32.490
  • Is trying to prevent a situation
  • 00:23:32.490 --> 00:23:34.625
  • In which hamas infrastructure
  • 00:23:34.625 --> 00:23:36.494
  • Receive advanced weapons
  • 00:23:36.494 --> 00:23:38.062
  • And turns the cities inside
  • 00:23:38.062 --> 00:23:39.897
  • The country into arenas
  • 00:23:39.897 --> 00:23:41.465
  • That look more like lebanon
  • 00:23:41.465 --> 00:23:43.234
  • Or gaza.
  • 00:23:43.234 --> 00:23:44.268
  • Hebron is not lebanon.
  • 00:23:44.735 --> 00:23:46.170
  • Hebron is not gaza.
  • 00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:47.672
  • But if iranian weaponry, cash,
  • 00:23:47.672 --> 00:23:49.774
  • And knowledge reach judea
  • 00:23:49.774 --> 00:23:51.542
  • And samaria, hebron can turn
  • 00:23:51.542 --> 00:23:53.544
  • From a local flashpoint into part of the regional campaign.
  • 00:23:53.544 --> 00:23:57.882
  • That is why this episode begins
  • 00:23:58.516 --> 00:24:00.451
  • In switzerland and arrives
  • 00:24:00.451 --> 00:24:02.086
  • At the cave of the patriarchs.
  • 00:24:02.086 --> 00:24:04.155
  • Because in the middle east,
  • 00:24:04.155 --> 00:24:05.756
  • Negotiation rooms
  • 00:24:05.756 --> 00:24:06.757
  • And checkpoints on the ground
  • 00:24:06.757 --> 00:24:08.526
  • Are not really disconnected
  • 00:24:08.526 --> 00:24:10.194
  • From each other.
  • 00:24:10.194 --> 00:24:11.796
  • What iran demands in lebanon
  • 00:24:11.796 --> 00:24:13.264
  • Shows what it wants to preserve.
  • 00:24:13.264 --> 00:24:14.966
  • What israel is doing
  • 00:24:15.433 --> 00:24:16.467
  • In southern lebanon shows
  • 00:24:16.467 --> 00:24:17.735
  • What it is no longer willing
  • 00:24:17.735 --> 00:24:19.203
  • To allow.
  • 00:24:19.203 --> 00:24:20.338
  • What happens in hebron shows how
  • 00:24:20.338 --> 00:24:22.540
  • Quickly a local front can take
  • 00:24:22.540 --> 00:24:24.642
  • On regional meaning.
  • 00:24:24.642 --> 00:24:26.010
  • And now,
  • 00:24:26.010 --> 00:24:26.644
  • From the ancient synagogue
  • 00:24:26.644 --> 00:24:27.979
  • And from the streets that lead
  • 00:24:27.979 --> 00:24:29.780
  • To the cave of patriarchs,
  • 00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:31.315
  • We'll try to understand the question that cannot be avoided.
  • 00:24:31.315 --> 00:24:35.052
  • How do you protect
  • 00:24:35.486 --> 00:24:36.621
  • A biblical site, jewish life,
  • 00:24:36.621 --> 00:24:38.422
  • And israeli security
  • 00:24:38.422 --> 00:24:39.657
  • Without ignoring the fact
  • 00:24:39.657 --> 00:24:41.225
  • That every stone here
  • 00:24:41.225 --> 00:24:42.560
  • Can ignite an entire arena?
  • 00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:44.362
  • Because hebron does not only ask
  • 00:24:44.996 --> 00:24:47.031
  • Who was here in the past,
  • 00:24:47.031 --> 00:24:48.633
  • It asks who will be able to live
  • 00:24:48.633 --> 00:24:50.668
  • Here in security tomorrow.
  • 00:24:50.668 --> 00:24:52.870
  • Guys, keep spreading the truth.
  • 00:24:52.870 --> 00:24:54.372
  • Follow us.
  • 00:24:54.372 --> 00:24:55.406
  • And most importantly,
  • 00:24:55.406 --> 00:24:56.440
  • Don't forget
  • 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:57.141
  • To click the subscribe button
  • 00:24:57.141 --> 00:24:58.576
  • So that you stay tuned
  • 00:24:58.576 --> 00:24:59.677
  • To the truth in real time.
  • 00:24:59.677 --> 00:25:01.379
  • Never miss boots on the ground.
  • 00:25:01.379 --> 00:25:03.247
  • Keep looking
  • 00:25:03.581 --> 00:25:04.281
  • For me, mati shoshani,
  • 00:25:04.281 --> 00:25:05.650
  • And yair pinto on social media
  • 00:25:05.650 --> 00:25:07.418
  • To see life in israel
  • 00:25:07.418 --> 00:25:08.719
  • Through our eyes.
  • 00:25:08.719 --> 00:25:10.254
  • And as always, let's end with prayer for the people of israel.
  • 00:25:10.254 --> 00:25:12.990
  • I want to remind you guys
  • 00:25:12.990 --> 00:25:14.291
  • That if you're
  • 00:25:14.291 --> 00:25:15.059
  • Not yet actively praying,
  • 00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:16.394
  • The bible tells you to pray
  • 00:25:16.394 --> 00:25:17.795
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:25:17.795 --> 00:25:19.163
  • Pray for our men
  • 00:25:19.563 --> 00:25:20.398
  • And women in arms,
  • 00:25:20.398 --> 00:25:21.332
  • Both in israel
  • 00:25:21.332 --> 00:25:22.066
  • And the americans' ones
  • 00:25:22.066 --> 00:25:23.267
  • Stationed in this region,
  • 00:25:23.267 --> 00:25:24.402
  • For our leaders, prime
  • 00:25:24.402 --> 00:25:25.536
  • Minister netanyahu and trump,
  • 00:25:25.536 --> 00:25:27.038
  • To do the wise and right thing
  • 00:25:27.038 --> 00:25:28.572
  • And pray
  • 00:25:28.572 --> 00:25:29.240
  • For the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.875
  • Be blessed, guys, and i'll
  • 00:25:30.875 --> 00:25:32.209
  • See you all the next time.
  • 00:25:32.209 --> 00:25:34.278
  • I hope you enjoyed that report.
  • 00:25:34.912 --> 00:25:36.580
  • We'll take one
  • 00:25:36.914 --> 00:25:37.882
  • Final short break,
  • 00:25:37.882 --> 00:25:39.116
  • And when we return,
  • 00:25:39.116 --> 00:25:40.384
  • I'd like to close our program
  • 00:25:40.384 --> 00:25:42.386
  • By praying together
  • 00:25:42.386 --> 00:25:43.721
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:25:43.721 --> 00:25:50.002
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:25:50.002 --> 00:25:54.188
  • Thank you for joining us today.
  • 00:25:54.822 --> 00:25:56.958
  • Before we end,
  • 00:25:56.958 --> 00:25:57.725
  • I'd like to invite you to pray
  • 00:25:57.725 --> 00:25:59.360
  • With me
  • 00:25:59.360 --> 00:25:59.994
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:25:59.994 --> 00:26:01.429
  • Let's pray
  • 00:26:01.729 --> 00:26:02.363
  • For the safety of the men
  • 00:26:02.363 --> 00:26:03.464
  • And women serving in the israel defense forces on land,
  • 00:26:03.464 --> 00:26:06.200
  • At sea, and in the air.
  • 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.702
  • Let's pray for wisdom
  • 00:26:07.702 --> 00:26:08.836
  • For israel's leaders,
  • 00:26:08.836 --> 00:26:09.937
  • For protection
  • 00:26:09.937 --> 00:26:10.705
  • Over our families,
  • 00:26:10.705 --> 00:26:11.706
  • And for peace
  • 00:26:11.706 --> 00:26:12.406
  • Throughout this land.
  • 00:26:12.406 --> 00:26:13.574
  • And let's continue
  • 00:26:14.008 --> 00:26:15.176
  • Standing together in faith,
  • 00:26:15.176 --> 00:26:16.944
  • Speaking the truth,
  • 00:26:16.944 --> 00:26:18.179
  • And bringing hope to a region
  • 00:26:18.179 --> 00:26:20.014
  • That desperately needs it.
  • 00:26:20.014 --> 00:26:20.014
