Boots on the Ground | U.S. Holds Massive Military Drill; Iran Threatens To Ignite Regional War | Boots on the Ground | January 29, 2026
- Why is the american attack
- 00:00:06.596 --> 00:00:08.031
- Against iran being delayed?
- 00:00:08.031 --> 00:00:09.933
- Reports indicate
- 00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:11.367
- That president trump
- 00:00:11.367 --> 00:00:12.368
- Received astonishing intelligence information
- 00:00:12.368 --> 00:00:15.238
- About iran just this week
- 00:00:15.238 --> 00:00:17.140
- That could be affecting his decisions.
- 00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.876
- However, the united states military
- 00:00:19.876 --> 00:00:22.378
- Is already launching a large scale exercise,
- 00:00:22.378 --> 00:00:25.115
- Perhaps a dress rehearsal for a strike,
- 00:00:25.115 --> 00:00:28.184
- While iran unveils a drone carrier
- 00:00:28.184 --> 00:00:31.354
- And the goal of the revolutionary guards
- 00:00:31.354 --> 00:00:33.690
- Is coming into view -
- 00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:35.258
- To turn the fighting into a multi-front crisis
- 00:00:35.258 --> 00:00:38.294
- As everyone in the middle east is preparing for an all out war.
- 00:00:38.294 --> 00:00:42.398
- And meanwhile, tehran is trying its luck
- 00:00:42.398 --> 00:00:44.868
- With psychological warfare against the united states,
- 00:00:44.868 --> 00:00:47.837
- Threatening american carriers
- 00:00:47.837 --> 00:00:49.506
- As other countries announce that they are closing
- 00:00:49.506 --> 00:00:52.609
- Their airspace and territorial waters for an attack on iran.
- 00:00:52.609 --> 00:00:56.746
- Welcome to boots on the ground.
- 00:00:57.447 --> 00:00:59.048
- I'm your host, yair pinto, bringing you the whole truth
- 00:00:59.048 --> 00:01:01.851
- About what's happening in israel.
- 00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:04.420
- So i return to the question, what is occupying everyone?
- 00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:09.559
- Why is the american attack on iran being delayed?
- 00:01:09.559 --> 00:01:12.929
- Today, tbn israel's senior middle east analyst,
- 00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:15.899
- Mati shoshani, will bring us a look
- 00:01:15.899 --> 00:01:18.301
- At why it seems that the american strike on iran
- 00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:21.237
- Is being delayed.
- 00:01:21.237 --> 00:01:22.572
- It's not because of military limitations,
- 00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:25.175
- But because of the fear of a broad regional ignition,
- 00:01:25.175 --> 00:01:29.379
- The strengthening of the revolutionary guards
- 00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:31.748
- As a dominant governing factor
- 00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:34.417
- And of severe damage to the stability of the energy markets
- 00:01:34.417 --> 00:01:38.154
- And the global economy.
- 00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:39.989
- Meanwhile, this week,
- 00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:41.791
- United states central command
- 00:01:41.791 --> 00:01:43.359
- Announced an operational readiness exercise,
- 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.596
- In which forces will deploy to emergency sites
- 00:01:46.596 --> 00:01:49.832
- With the approval of the host countries.
- 00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:52.769
- For their part, iran published footage
- 00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:55.271
- Of a drone carrier deployed and ready to respond to any attack.
- 00:01:55.271 --> 00:02:00.376
- Is the footage real? is it fake?
- 00:02:00.376 --> 00:02:03.012
- Is it ai created?
- 00:02:03.012 --> 00:02:05.381
- What is it? we'll take a closer look.
- 00:02:05.381 --> 00:02:08.151
- And meanwhile, turkey is preparing for the possibility
- 00:02:08.151 --> 00:02:11.487
- Of a wave of migrants from iran
- 00:02:11.487 --> 00:02:14.157
- Declaring their intention to establish a buffer zone.
- 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:18.094
- Elsewhere, the united states president donald trump
- 00:02:18.094 --> 00:02:20.863
- Declared that there is a fleet on its way to iran.
- 00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:24.167
- "i hope they make a deal," that's what he said.
- 00:02:24.167 --> 00:02:27.170
- While the saudi crown prince joined the united arab emirates
- 00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:30.139
- And said that the saudis will not allow
- 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:32.475
- The use of their territory for an attack.
- 00:02:32.475 --> 00:02:35.612
- In baghdad, volunteers are signing up
- 00:02:35.612 --> 00:02:38.548
- For a pro-iranian militia to fight alongside tehran.
- 00:02:38.548 --> 00:02:42.752
- Also, iran is escalating threats
- 00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:45.054
- Towards the united states of america
- 00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.056
- Through a video that simulates attacking aircraft carrier
- 00:02:47.056 --> 00:02:50.660
- Using artificial intelligence, along with additional footage
- 00:02:50.660 --> 00:02:54.397
- Under the headline "a message to the aircraft carrier lincoln".
- 00:02:54.397 --> 00:02:59.936
- In beijing, they were alarmed enough
- 00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:02.038
- By the recent events to send several cargo planes
- 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:05.141
- Full of ammunition and supplies to their ally in iran.
- 00:03:05.141 --> 00:03:09.345
- Senior officials in the quds forces
- 00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:11.180
- Of the revolutionary guards also held meetings this week
- 00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:13.983
- With leaders of the axis of resistance
- 00:03:13.983 --> 00:03:16.386
- Ahead of potential american strike.
- 00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:18.288
- And according to the report,
- 00:03:18.888 --> 00:03:20.490
- The iranians are trying to confuse the united states
- 00:03:20.490 --> 00:03:24.027
- And open additional fronts in the event of a war,
- 00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:26.729
- But hezbollah will join the fighting
- 00:03:26.729 --> 00:03:29.032
- Only if the american strikes go beyond limited blows.
- 00:03:29.032 --> 00:03:33.970
- And meanwhile, in the gaza strip,
- 00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:36.039
- They continue to phase b of the ceasefire plan
- 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.941
- And the united states is expected to announce a deadline
- 00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:41.744
- For hamas to disarm of its weapons
- 00:03:41.744 --> 00:03:43.880
- Already in the coming days
- 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:45.248
- In order to define the process in advance.
- 00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:49.519
- In addition, prime minister benjamin netanyahu
- 00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:51.954
- Will hold a limited discussion on thursday
- 00:03:51.954 --> 00:03:54.490
- With senior security officials,
- 00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:56.225
- With the focus of the discussion
- 00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:57.894
- Being gaza and the new arrangements in the gaza strip.
- 00:03:57.894 --> 00:04:01.831
- In related stories, the internal document
- 00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:04.767
- Signed by the united states president
- 00:04:04.767 --> 00:04:06.936
- Was circulated on the sidelines of the davos forum this week,
- 00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:11.140
- Including details of the plans for gaza,
- 00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:13.710
- Including hamas' disarmament
- 00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:15.745
- And the demilitarization of the entire gaza strip.
- 00:04:15.745 --> 00:04:19.315
- We will examine all the advantages of moving to phase b
- 00:04:19.315 --> 00:04:22.852
- To see if they outweigh the risks,
- 00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:25.688
- And why the return of qatar and turkey to the field
- 00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:28.825
- May seem worrying.
- 00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:30.727
- However, within the american territory
- 00:04:30.727 --> 00:04:33.529
- Being created inside the gaza strip,
- 00:04:33.529 --> 00:04:35.865
- Israel maintains freedom of security action
- 00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:38.368
- And achieves demilitarization.
- 00:04:38.368 --> 00:04:40.503
- From the other side come reports
- 00:04:41.237 --> 00:04:43.239
- That the terrorist organization hamas
- 00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.174
- Is spreading promises all across the gaza strip,
- 00:04:45.174 --> 00:04:48.411
- A promise that should worry israel,
- 00:04:48.411 --> 00:04:50.646
- Including a refusal to disarm and a statement
- 00:04:50.646 --> 00:04:53.750
- That the weapons in our hands
- 00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:55.618
- Are vital for defense against the occupation.
- 00:04:55.618 --> 00:04:58.788
- According to them. in addition,
- 00:04:58.788 --> 00:05:00.957
- Hamas is acting to integrate
- 00:05:00.957 --> 00:05:02.692
- Its approximately 10,000 police officers
- 00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:05.995
- Into the new management mechanism of the gaza strip,
- 00:05:05.995 --> 00:05:09.132
- Supported by the united states.
- 00:05:09.132 --> 00:05:10.833
- In the letter hamas published,
- 00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:12.769
- It urged its employees in gaza to cooperate with the committee
- 00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:16.939
- And promised them that it is working
- 00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:19.175
- To integrate them in the future government.
- 00:05:19.175 --> 00:05:22.011
- And elsewhere, idf chief of staff eyal zamir
- 00:05:22.011 --> 00:05:24.614
- Yesterday approved a plan for a large scale attack
- 00:05:24.614 --> 00:05:28.117
- In areas where the idf has not yet operated in the gaza strip,
- 00:05:28.117 --> 00:05:31.888
- With the goal of defeating hamas.
- 00:05:31.888 --> 00:05:34.190
- In the security establishment,
- 00:05:34.190 --> 00:05:35.758
- Three options are being examined,
- 00:05:35.758 --> 00:05:37.994
- From a political agreement on a timetable
- 00:05:37.994 --> 00:05:40.430
- Set by the trump administration,
- 00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:42.465
- Through a limited military action
- 00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:44.734
- And up to a full conquest and the establishment
- 00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:47.904
- Of a temporary military government in gaza.
- 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:51.307
- Today, we will understand together
- 00:05:51.307 --> 00:05:53.609
- What is on the table for real.
- 00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:56.179
- And finally, this week we marked
- 00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:58.448
- International holocaust remembrance day.
- 00:05:58.448 --> 00:06:01.017
- Many events were held to commemorate this day,
- 00:06:01.017 --> 00:06:04.153
- Including the publication of the 2025 anti-semitism report
- 00:06:04.153 --> 00:06:09.058
- Of the world zionist organization,
- 00:06:09.058 --> 00:06:11.194
- Which revealed that anti-semitism
- 00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:13.396
- Has become institutionalized
- 00:06:13.396 --> 00:06:15.398
- And has even undergone normalization in many countries.
- 00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:19.769
- During the first eight months of 2025,
- 00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:23.072
- There was an increase of about 10 percent
- 00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:25.575
- In anti-semitic incidents
- 00:06:25.575 --> 00:06:27.677
- And 20 jewish people lost their lives in anti-semitic attacks.
- 00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:32.248
- So, as you can see, we have a lot to talk about today.
- 00:06:32.248 --> 00:06:35.184
- So let's dive into the details.
- 00:06:35.184 --> 00:06:37.153
- I'm yair pinto. with me today is mati shoshani,
- 00:06:37.153 --> 00:06:40.356
- And this is your boots on the ground report,
- 00:06:40.356 --> 00:06:42.758
- Bringing you the whole truth about what's happening in israel
- 00:06:42.758 --> 00:06:45.428
- On day 844 of the war against hamas, hezbollah,
- 00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:49.398
- The houthis in yemen, the shia militias in iraq
- 00:06:49.398 --> 00:06:51.901
- And all the other armed groups in this region
- 00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:54.036
- That are taking their orders
- 00:06:54.036 --> 00:06:55.371
- From iran's revolutionary guards corps,
- 00:06:55.371 --> 00:06:57.373
- Which is the head of the crumbling axis of evil
- 00:06:57.373 --> 00:07:00.009
- In the middle east.
- 00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:01.143
- And a moment before we begin,
- 00:07:01.143 --> 00:07:02.512
- I want to call on you to keep mobilizing for the truth.
- 00:07:02.512 --> 00:07:05.448
- Every day, thanks to you,
- 00:07:05.448 --> 00:07:06.949
- We manage to reach hundreds of thousands of people
- 00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:10.086
- Who help us spread the truth.
- 00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:11.654
- So, if you want to receive daily boots on the ground reports,
- 00:07:11.654 --> 00:07:15.491
- Make sure to visit tbn israel on youtube
- 00:07:15.491 --> 00:07:18.127
- So that you never miss another episode
- 00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:21.030
- And know how to pray
- 00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:22.632
- For the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:07:22.632 --> 00:07:24.934
- And now we'll take a short commercial break,
- 00:07:24.934 --> 00:07:27.937
- After which we will return to you
- 00:07:27.937 --> 00:07:30.406
- With our senior middle east analyst, mati shoshani.
- 00:07:30.406 --> 00:07:38.001
- With our senior middle east analyst, mati shoshani.
- 00:07:38.001 --> 00:07:42.203
- And now we will move
- 00:07:42.671 --> 00:07:43.938
- To tbn israel's senior middle east analyst mati shoshani,
- 00:07:43.938 --> 00:07:46.808
- With one very important question.
- 00:07:46.808 --> 00:07:48.910
- Mati, why has the united states still not attacked iran?
- 00:07:48.910 --> 00:07:53.782
- The us aircraft carrier, the abraham lincoln,
- 00:07:53.782 --> 00:07:56.518
- Just moved into the region
- 00:07:56.518 --> 00:07:57.652
- With warships that carry
- 00:07:57.652 --> 00:07:58.887
- Tomahawk cruise missiles,
- 00:07:58.887 --> 00:08:00.689
- And the us also pushed in rc-135 rivet joint
- 00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:04.125
- Into the centcom zone,
- 00:08:04.125 --> 00:08:05.627
- A high end signals intelligence aircraft
- 00:08:05.627 --> 00:08:08.196
- That listens, maps and locates hostile emitters.
- 00:08:08.196 --> 00:08:12.267
- This is the posture of a country preparing options.
- 00:08:12.267 --> 00:08:15.303
- But the strike still hasn't happened.
- 00:08:15.303 --> 00:08:18.306
- Now, why this matters right now?
- 00:08:18.306 --> 00:08:20.008
- Because the delay is not empty time.
- 00:08:20.008 --> 00:08:22.077
- It is a strategy,
- 00:08:22.077 --> 00:08:23.511
- A very clear one on behalf of the us government.
- 00:08:23.511 --> 00:08:26.748
- So yair, you asked a very clean and simple question -
- 00:08:26.748 --> 00:08:30.285
- Why has the united states not hit iran yet?
- 00:08:30.285 --> 00:08:33.188
- And what are they waiting for?
- 00:08:33.188 --> 00:08:35.190
- Well, officially, the answer coming out of washington
- 00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:38.059
- Is that the situation is still very much fluid,
- 00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:40.395
- And the president keeps the cards close to his chest.
- 00:08:40.395 --> 00:08:43.231
- My analysis is that the us is waiting
- 00:08:43.231 --> 00:08:45.133
- For three things at the same time:
- 00:08:45.133 --> 00:08:47.502
- A regional roadmap that will not explode in their hands,
- 00:08:47.502 --> 00:08:50.605
- A political map at home
- 00:08:50.605 --> 00:08:52.273
- That will not collapse under them
- 00:08:52.273 --> 00:08:53.942
- And an operational map
- 00:08:53.942 --> 00:08:55.543
- That is fully ready with the intelligence gaps fully closed.
- 00:08:55.543 --> 00:09:00.415
- Now, the president's message is a double message,
- 00:09:00.415 --> 00:09:03.384
- Both internally and externally.
- 00:09:03.384 --> 00:09:05.053
- He threatens and he leaves the door open.
- 00:09:05.053 --> 00:09:07.956
- He said there's a fleet on the way,
- 00:09:07.956 --> 00:09:09.958
- And he says he hopes they make a deal.
- 00:09:09.958 --> 00:09:12.494
- He says iran wants to talk
- 00:09:12.494 --> 00:09:14.329
- And he says they know the conditions.
- 00:09:14.329 --> 00:09:15.930
- So here's what matters.
- 00:09:16.431 --> 00:09:17.966
- When a president signals both pressure and diplomacy,
- 00:09:17.966 --> 00:09:21.436
- It means the strike is being used as leverage.
- 00:09:21.436 --> 00:09:23.805
- Not as a mood, not as an emotion,
- 00:09:23.805 --> 00:09:26.307
- As leverage to force a political outcome,
- 00:09:26.307 --> 00:09:28.743
- Or at least to force iran to blink first.
- 00:09:28.743 --> 00:09:32.013
- Because this doesn't stay inside iran or localize to iran.
- 00:09:32.013 --> 00:09:35.717
- Hezbollah's leader, sheikh naim qassem,
- 00:09:35.717 --> 00:09:38.620
- Warned that a war on iran could ignite the entire region.
- 00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:42.257
- He even spoke about the possibility
- 00:09:42.257 --> 00:09:44.125
- Of khamenei being targeted personally
- 00:09:44.125 --> 00:09:46.528
- And framed it as an attack on stability.
- 00:09:46.528 --> 00:09:49.197
- That is a deterrence message
- 00:09:49.197 --> 00:09:50.632
- Aimed at washington and at jerusalem,
- 00:09:50.632 --> 00:09:53.334
- And it connects to what iran is doing right now.
- 00:09:53.334 --> 00:09:56.938
- Reportedly, tehran is preparing
- 00:09:56.938 --> 00:09:58.873
- A multi-front response to confuse the us
- 00:09:58.873 --> 00:10:02.010
- And expand the fight beyond a single arena.
- 00:10:02.010 --> 00:10:05.547
- The american delay doesn't mean retreat.
- 00:10:05.547 --> 00:10:07.515
- It means the us is trying to shape the battlefield,
- 00:10:07.515 --> 00:10:10.285
- The region, the economy and the diplomacy before it commits.
- 00:10:10.285 --> 00:10:13.988
- America isn't waiting because it can't strike.
- 00:10:13.988 --> 00:10:16.491
- It's waiting because it wants the strike to decide the future,
- 00:10:16.491 --> 00:10:20.094
- Not just a single skirmish or war.
- 00:10:20.094 --> 00:10:22.864
- And now, back to yair pinto.
- 00:10:22.864 --> 00:10:25.366
- Thank you so much, mati shoshani,
- 00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:27.769
- For this very detailed information.
- 00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.071
- We will keep reporting
- 00:10:30.572 --> 00:10:31.673
- About everything that's happening in iran,
- 00:10:31.673 --> 00:10:34.275
- And you can join us live every day on our youtube channel.
- 00:10:34.275 --> 00:10:38.713
- And now we will go to a special interview
- 00:10:38.713 --> 00:10:41.583
- Between tbn israel director samuel smadja,
- 00:10:41.583 --> 00:10:44.552
- In our studio in jerusalem,
- 00:10:44.552 --> 00:10:46.487
- With reverend peter fast,
- 00:10:46.487 --> 00:10:49.858
- The international ceo of bridges for peace.
- 00:10:49.858 --> 00:10:53.461
- Thank you, yair, and to you,
- 00:10:53.461 --> 00:10:55.430
- Our friends, shalom,
- 00:10:55.430 --> 00:10:56.497
- Shalom from jerusalem.
- 00:10:56.497 --> 00:10:57.832
- We're sitting here in the studio
- 00:10:57.832 --> 00:10:59.334
- Of tbn, overlooking this beautiful city of jerusalem,
- 00:10:59.334 --> 00:11:02.904
- A city that god himself has chosen.
- 00:11:02.904 --> 00:11:05.607
- And today i have a good friend, reverend peter fast,
- 00:11:05.607 --> 00:11:08.476
- The international ceo of bridges for peace in jerusalem.
- 00:11:08.476 --> 00:11:12.547
- Bridges for peace is a christian organization
- 00:11:12.547 --> 00:11:14.949
- That stood with israel, i think, already over 30 years.
- 00:11:14.949 --> 00:11:18.653
- Reverend peter, tell us about yourself.
- 00:11:18.653 --> 00:11:21.422
- Well, i was born
- 00:11:21.789 --> 00:11:22.824
- Into a christian home, christian family.
- 00:11:22.824 --> 00:11:25.226
- My dad's a pastor for 46 years.
- 00:11:25.226 --> 00:11:28.596
- Involved in ministry, both sides of the family. i'm canadian.
- 00:11:28.596 --> 00:11:32.667
- Before i was born, my parents went to israel
- 00:11:32.667 --> 00:11:35.270
- Multiple times in the 1970s.
- 00:11:35.270 --> 00:11:37.405
- So growing up, i saw israel
- 00:11:37.405 --> 00:11:40.541
- And god connected the dots in my heart.
- 00:11:40.541 --> 00:11:42.944
- So it wasn't just israel of the old testament.
- 00:11:42.944 --> 00:11:46.347
- It was, this is what god is doing both then and now,
- 00:11:46.347 --> 00:11:50.818
- Bringing the jewish people home, building up the nation,
- 00:11:50.818 --> 00:11:53.755
- Prophecy being fulfilled.
- 00:11:53.755 --> 00:11:54.889
- So that's the early roots
- 00:11:54.889 --> 00:11:58.192
- And then the lord worked in my heart
- 00:11:58.192 --> 00:11:59.527
- And gave me a real calling and a burden
- 00:11:59.527 --> 00:12:02.597
- For the nation of israel and the jewish people around the world.
- 00:12:02.597 --> 00:12:05.033
- For me, it's encouraging to see a young pastor,
- 00:12:05.033 --> 00:12:07.702
- A young leader, a young christian leader
- 00:12:07.702 --> 00:12:09.771
- Coming and dedicating his life for israel. -absolutely.
- 00:12:09.771 --> 00:12:13.775
- Why and how come we don't see it too much
- 00:12:13.775 --> 00:12:16.344
- Among young pastors?
- 00:12:16.344 --> 00:12:17.645
- You know, i'm someone who... i love history,
- 00:12:17.645 --> 00:12:19.781
- I look at history, the bible is full of it.
- 00:12:19.781 --> 00:12:22.016
- But it's also not just ancient history,
- 00:12:22.016 --> 00:12:24.485
- It directs us somewhere.
- 00:12:24.485 --> 00:12:26.154
- It shows us where this world is going.
- 00:12:26.154 --> 00:12:28.856
- The bible presents god as the god of israel
- 00:12:28.856 --> 00:12:30.692
- And the god of the nations and these two things coming together
- 00:12:30.692 --> 00:12:34.395
- And god at work, even looking at the...
- 00:12:34.395 --> 00:12:36.698
- You know, romans being grafted in.
- 00:12:36.698 --> 00:12:39.067
- And that took root in my own life.
- 00:12:39.067 --> 00:12:41.436
- I believe that. it's a role
- 00:12:41.436 --> 00:12:43.604
- And a special role calling for israel,
- 00:12:43.604 --> 00:12:46.007
- Not that they're superior to other people.
- 00:12:46.007 --> 00:12:49.277
- It's distinction and unity.
- 00:12:49.277 --> 00:12:51.012
- And we're grafted, we're attached to that,
- 00:12:51.012 --> 00:12:52.847
- And this is who god is.
- 00:12:52.847 --> 00:12:55.216
- That resonated with me, that spoke to me
- 00:12:55.216 --> 00:12:58.086
- And i see it with my eyes,
- 00:12:58.086 --> 00:12:59.587
- And i know other people can see it and they don't see it.
- 00:12:59.587 --> 00:13:02.490
- And i kind of...
- 00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:03.624
- Maybe that harkens back to the prophets,
- 00:13:03.624 --> 00:13:05.727
- Even calling on judah at the time -
- 00:13:05.727 --> 00:13:08.129
- You'll see things, but you won't believe them.
- 00:13:08.129 --> 00:13:10.865
- We also have 17 centuries
- 00:13:10.865 --> 00:13:12.867
- Of people saying, "this is how you read the bible"
- 00:13:12.867 --> 00:13:15.436
- And most of the church fathers
- 00:13:15.436 --> 00:13:17.105
- Never ever thought or saw or believed
- 00:13:17.105 --> 00:13:20.208
- That this would happen.
- 00:13:20.208 --> 00:13:21.509
- The jewish people will never return.
- 00:13:21.509 --> 00:13:22.810
- They're just a living witness that we've won,
- 00:13:22.810 --> 00:13:24.946
- A triumphalism, so when the jewish people do return
- 00:13:24.946 --> 00:13:27.849
- And the nation, and we see this,
- 00:13:27.849 --> 00:13:30.218
- Every christian is going to have a decision to make.
- 00:13:30.218 --> 00:13:33.287
- And i believe the global church was split into three camps.
- 00:13:33.287 --> 00:13:38.259
- People who suddenly said: look, prophecy coming to life.
- 00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:41.596
- God is faithful. even when we're disobedient,
- 00:13:41.596 --> 00:13:44.665
- He still is faithful. he's covenant keeping.
- 00:13:44.665 --> 00:13:46.901
- And so they saw what was happening here,
- 00:13:46.901 --> 00:13:49.037
- They believed it.
- 00:13:49.037 --> 00:13:50.071
- Others said, this has nothing to do with god.
- 00:13:50.071 --> 00:13:53.174
- This is a secular return. this is this and this.
- 00:13:53.174 --> 00:13:55.743
- So for you, the return of the jewish people
- 00:13:55.743 --> 00:13:58.446
- Was not a result of zionistic movement or secular movement
- 00:13:58.446 --> 00:14:03.117
- That happened because of the holocaust
- 00:14:03.117 --> 00:14:04.852
- And the second world war. -no.
- 00:14:04.852 --> 00:14:07.188
- We need to find a homeland for the jewish people
- 00:14:07.188 --> 00:14:10.191
- And let's find a solution for these people.
- 00:14:10.191 --> 00:14:12.293
- For you, it's something way bigger.
- 00:14:12.293 --> 00:14:13.995
- It's way bigger. you know, i think these are mistakes.
- 00:14:13.995 --> 00:14:17.698
- When people think israel was only created
- 00:14:17.698 --> 00:14:19.901
- Because of the holocaust,
- 00:14:19.901 --> 00:14:20.935
- Or jews come from this place or that,
- 00:14:20.935 --> 00:14:22.870
- We say that this is not only just their ancestral homeland,
- 00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:26.074
- But there's always been a jewish presence in the land.
- 00:14:26.074 --> 00:14:28.943
- And that's what a lot of people forget.
- 00:14:28.943 --> 00:14:30.845
- There's always been jews living in this land,
- 00:14:30.845 --> 00:14:34.115
- Way before what we would describe
- 00:14:34.115 --> 00:14:35.817
- As the modern zionist movement.
- 00:14:35.817 --> 00:14:37.885
- So there's always been a connection,
- 00:14:37.885 --> 00:14:39.554
- Jewish people for over 2,000 years
- 00:14:39.554 --> 00:14:43.991
- Say "next year in jerusalem," no matter where they are.
- 00:14:43.991 --> 00:14:46.494
- They face this city, this is the city of the great king
- 00:14:46.494 --> 00:14:49.664
- And for millennia and time immemorial,
- 00:14:49.664 --> 00:14:51.666
- They face it in their prayers.
- 00:14:51.666 --> 00:14:53.334
- So it's more than just kind of a modern zionism.
- 00:14:53.334 --> 00:14:56.637
- Can you elaborate why it's so important
- 00:14:56.637 --> 00:14:58.673
- For christians to understand the jewish roots?
- 00:14:58.673 --> 00:15:00.675
- When you think about,
- 00:15:00.675 --> 00:15:01.943
- As paul starts writing his epistles,
- 00:15:01.943 --> 00:15:04.145
- When he's speaking to non-jews, he's speaking to pagans.
- 00:15:04.145 --> 00:15:07.014
- So people that are far off, very foreign in their beliefs,
- 00:15:07.014 --> 00:15:11.285
- And in ephesians 2, he's saying:
- 00:15:11.285 --> 00:15:13.387
- But you've been brought in
- 00:15:13.387 --> 00:15:15.056
- And attached to the commonwealth of israel through messiah.
- 00:15:15.056 --> 00:15:18.192
- And romans 11:
- 00:15:18.192 --> 00:15:19.827
- You're being grafted in. in john 4:22,
- 00:15:19.827 --> 00:15:22.430
- Even jesus says to the samaritan woman,
- 00:15:22.430 --> 00:15:24.866
- "salvation comes from the jews."
- 00:15:24.866 --> 00:15:26.734
- So when an outsider engages
- 00:15:26.734 --> 00:15:29.937
- And responds through faith with god, he is the god of israel.
- 00:15:29.937 --> 00:15:34.342
- We don't replace it. we don't take it over, but we inherit,
- 00:15:34.342 --> 00:15:36.711
- We join an amazing heritage and tradition.
- 00:15:36.711 --> 00:15:40.114
- Our messiah is jewish.
- 00:15:40.114 --> 00:15:42.150
- When we look at all the roots of our faith.
- 00:15:42.150 --> 00:15:44.785
- You know, i say the king james bible
- 00:15:44.785 --> 00:15:47.221
- Didn't come down on mount sinai.
- 00:15:47.221 --> 00:15:49.290
- So the language, hebrew, the culture,
- 00:15:49.290 --> 00:15:51.659
- Everything, even the terms that we use today,
- 00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:54.262
- Discipleship, baptism, all of these terms
- 00:15:54.262 --> 00:15:57.098
- Come from a hebraic context and root.
- 00:15:57.098 --> 00:15:59.433
- So it's not telling gentiles:
- 00:15:59.433 --> 00:16:00.935
- Oh, you suddenly have to try to become jewish,
- 00:16:00.935 --> 00:16:04.005
- But it's understanding who we are,
- 00:16:04.005 --> 00:16:06.741
- Who god is. god loves everybody,
- 00:16:06.741 --> 00:16:08.876
- But he has a unique calling and plan for israel
- 00:16:08.876 --> 00:16:11.245
- And he attaches the nations to that. it's global.
- 00:16:11.245 --> 00:16:15.750
- Bridges of peace. what's unique about you guys?
- 00:16:15.750 --> 00:16:19.187
- What's unique is that when we look back at history,
- 00:16:19.187 --> 00:16:23.491
- Non-jewish christians have had very little engagement
- 00:16:23.491 --> 00:16:28.129
- With the jewish people in history.
- 00:16:28.129 --> 00:16:29.830
- Genuine, unconditional love.
- 00:16:29.830 --> 00:16:32.366
- We build relationships between christians and jews
- 00:16:32.366 --> 00:16:34.869
- Around the world, not just in israel.
- 00:16:34.869 --> 00:16:37.605
- We have eight different nations,
- 00:16:37.605 --> 00:16:38.806
- And those nations educate the church,
- 00:16:38.806 --> 00:16:41.542
- We pray for the church,
- 00:16:41.542 --> 00:16:42.710
- We take people to israel, we inform them.
- 00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:46.247
- We want them to love the lord.
- 00:16:46.247 --> 00:16:48.249
- We want them to increase their love for yeshua deeper.
- 00:16:48.249 --> 00:16:51.886
- So we're connecting them to that,
- 00:16:51.886 --> 00:16:53.387
- But we also are going to partner
- 00:16:53.387 --> 00:16:54.755
- With the jewish community in israel,
- 00:16:54.755 --> 00:16:57.091
- That is seen as in a very practical,
- 00:16:57.091 --> 00:16:59.794
- Unconditional love type work.
- 00:16:59.794 --> 00:17:01.796
- And so on a monthly basis
- 00:17:01.796 --> 00:17:04.098
- We're feeding over 24,000 people,
- 00:17:04.098 --> 00:17:06.334
- 60 tons of food. we work with holocaust survivors.
- 00:17:06.334 --> 00:17:09.170
- We're working in schools, 350 children every month
- 00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:12.907
- Are getting hot lunches, school backpacks.
- 00:17:12.907 --> 00:17:15.676
- It is hard to break out of a cycle of poverty,
- 00:17:15.676 --> 00:17:17.845
- So we invest ourselves into that.
- 00:17:17.845 --> 00:17:19.847
- We have impacted every level.
- 00:17:19.847 --> 00:17:22.116
- We buy bomb shelters, we buy ambulances,
- 00:17:22.116 --> 00:17:25.052
- So on and so forth.
- 00:17:25.052 --> 00:17:26.754
- You've been here at the 7th of october? -yes.
- 00:17:26.754 --> 00:17:29.056
- Do you see any change in the work of bridges for peace
- 00:17:29.056 --> 00:17:32.727
- Before the 7th of october and after the 7th of october?
- 00:17:32.727 --> 00:17:35.796
- On october 7th, the whole world changed.
- 00:17:35.796 --> 00:17:39.133
- So did bridges for peace.
- 00:17:39.133 --> 00:17:40.868
- On october 9th, we got a call from the military
- 00:17:40.868 --> 00:17:44.205
- Because there was a collection point.
- 00:17:44.205 --> 00:17:45.773
- I mean, all of israel was still waking up
- 00:17:45.773 --> 00:17:48.376
- To the reality of what october 7th was.
- 00:17:48.376 --> 00:17:50.945
- We could never have imagined
- 00:17:50.945 --> 00:17:52.246
- That thousands of hamas terrorists infiltrated,
- 00:17:52.246 --> 00:17:55.316
- Thousands of civilian looters and plunderers,
- 00:17:55.316 --> 00:17:58.386
- And that over 1,200 jews,
- 00:17:58.386 --> 00:18:00.755
- Actually mostly jews, but even muslims and other people
- 00:18:00.755 --> 00:18:03.391
- Were murdered on that day and 252 kidnapped.
- 00:18:03.391 --> 00:18:07.395
- By october 9th we were still waking up to that,
- 00:18:07.395 --> 00:18:10.331
- But this is what bridges does.
- 00:18:10.331 --> 00:18:11.899
- We get a call: "we need you and we need you in sderot."
- 00:18:11.899 --> 00:18:15.836
- And what i did, i drove one van
- 00:18:15.836 --> 00:18:17.605
- And two of my colleagues drove another van,
- 00:18:17.605 --> 00:18:19.106
- And we drove 500 bags...
- 00:18:19.106 --> 00:18:20.541
- Sderot is a city at the border of gaza. -and it has a history,
- 00:18:20.541 --> 00:18:24.912
- It's like the bomb shelter capital of the world.
- 00:18:24.912 --> 00:18:27.348
- So many rockets come to sderot.
- 00:18:27.348 --> 00:18:28.949
- So we drove down to sderot and i remember feeling uneasy.
- 00:18:28.949 --> 00:18:34.955
- I prayed and the lord gave me courage.
- 00:18:34.955 --> 00:18:37.425
- I had a bulletproof vest and a helmet
- 00:18:37.425 --> 00:18:40.194
- On the seat next to me.
- 00:18:40.194 --> 00:18:41.662
- And when we turned off that highway going straight south,
- 00:18:41.662 --> 00:18:45.466
- All civilian vehicles disappear.
- 00:18:45.466 --> 00:18:47.101
- It's just military checkpoints everywhere
- 00:18:47.101 --> 00:18:49.103
- And somehow we got through
- 00:18:49.103 --> 00:18:50.604
- And driving into sderot was like an apocalypse film.
- 00:18:50.604 --> 00:18:53.574
- It was like something i've never seen before.
- 00:18:53.574 --> 00:18:55.876
- You could see missile trails coming through the sky.
- 00:18:55.876 --> 00:18:58.546
- Burned vehicles.
- 00:18:58.546 --> 00:19:00.715
- There were still bodies out, destroyed buildings.
- 00:19:00.715 --> 00:19:04.018
- And we drove in,
- 00:19:04.018 --> 00:19:05.252
- And sderot is about a city of 40,000 people,
- 00:19:05.252 --> 00:19:08.856
- Totally empty. the only people present
- 00:19:08.856 --> 00:19:11.225
- Were soldiers still clearing the city.
- 00:19:11.225 --> 00:19:13.828
- You could hear the echo of gunshots.
- 00:19:13.828 --> 00:19:15.496
- And what i found out later was the last hamas terrorist
- 00:19:15.496 --> 00:19:18.132
- That came through on the seventh
- 00:19:18.132 --> 00:19:19.500
- Was killed three weeks later.
- 00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:21.435
- So what we didn't fully understand is, now i know,
- 00:19:21.435 --> 00:19:25.206
- We were driving into a war zone.
- 00:19:25.206 --> 00:19:26.607
- We drove to the center of sderot,
- 00:19:26.607 --> 00:19:28.576
- Dropped off 500 bags of food and drove out.
- 00:19:28.576 --> 00:19:31.645
- A few of our jewish partners have said to us,
- 00:19:31.645 --> 00:19:34.315
- And i can't verify this, but they've said to us:
- 00:19:34.315 --> 00:19:36.584
- We think you might have been the first christians on site,
- 00:19:36.584 --> 00:19:41.655
- Doing a delivery right after the seventh.
- 00:19:41.655 --> 00:19:44.658
- And that gives you an example
- 00:19:44.658 --> 00:19:47.128
- Of how it's changed everything.
- 00:19:47.128 --> 00:19:48.529
- Peter, you're very vocal about israel,
- 00:19:48.529 --> 00:19:51.165
- But there are people watching us
- 00:19:51.165 --> 00:19:53.234
- And today we find anti-semitism around the world... -yeah.
- 00:19:53.234 --> 00:19:56.237
- They have second thoughts.
- 00:19:56.804 --> 00:19:58.806
- And maybe they're afraid even to defend israel so vocally.
- 00:19:58.806 --> 00:20:02.777
- Can you say something about it?
- 00:20:02.777 --> 00:20:04.712
- What i remind people is this -
- 00:20:04.712 --> 00:20:06.680
- It's not about israel, it's not about me,
- 00:20:07.548 --> 00:20:09.250
- It's not about you. it's about god first.
- 00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:11.719
- I love israel like i do
- 00:20:12.219 --> 00:20:14.355
- Because i also want to love what god loves.
- 00:20:14.355 --> 00:20:16.524
- And i see god working through israel.
- 00:20:17.324 --> 00:20:20.094
- So i don't want to be against god.
- 00:20:20.094 --> 00:20:22.296
- I want to seek truth, i want to seek his word
- 00:20:22.296 --> 00:20:24.565
- And i'm going to stand on that and love what god loves.
- 00:20:24.565 --> 00:20:27.168
- Within days after the seventh,
- 00:20:27.168 --> 00:20:28.669
- I really had this, almost like an epiphany.
- 00:20:28.669 --> 00:20:31.405
- I saw it as there's darkness and light.
- 00:20:31.405 --> 00:20:33.474
- We see that those are clear themes in the bible,
- 00:20:33.474 --> 00:20:36.477
- Right at creation, "and there is light".
- 00:20:36.477 --> 00:20:38.712
- Jesus calls himself "the light of the world".
- 00:20:38.712 --> 00:20:40.514
- Being a light means you have to count the cost.
- 00:20:40.514 --> 00:20:43.317
- It doesn't help anything if i support israel
- 00:20:43.317 --> 00:20:46.487
- And pray for israel behind four walls
- 00:20:46.487 --> 00:20:49.356
- And nobody knows.
- 00:20:49.356 --> 00:20:50.624
- The disciples, yes, they followed yeshua,
- 00:20:50.624 --> 00:20:53.394
- But if they had never said, we gotta go out,
- 00:20:53.394 --> 00:20:56.030
- If they'd never been obedient because yeshua said,
- 00:20:56.030 --> 00:20:58.265
- "go to the world." if they had said,
- 00:20:58.265 --> 00:21:00.267
- That's scary, we might get killed, we might get stoned...
- 00:21:00.267 --> 00:21:03.604
- But they did it, so that's the thing,
- 00:21:03.604 --> 00:21:05.372
- We count the cost for the sake of truth.
- 00:21:05.372 --> 00:21:07.408
- God will guide you. he will direct you.
- 00:21:07.408 --> 00:21:09.577
- That might mean pastors lose their jobs,
- 00:21:09.577 --> 00:21:12.313
- People get intimidated, get canceled.
- 00:21:12.313 --> 00:21:14.849
- But what am i willing to do
- 00:21:14.849 --> 00:21:16.951
- To be in right standing with god and pursue what god loves?
- 00:21:16.951 --> 00:21:20.187
- As an israeli who grew up here all my life,
- 00:21:20.187 --> 00:21:23.691
- As a head of a tour company here in israel,
- 00:21:23.691 --> 00:21:26.794
- I saw pastors coming to israel all the time,
- 00:21:26.794 --> 00:21:30.097
- And now i see a big difference between pastors above 50,
- 00:21:30.097 --> 00:21:34.502
- Who love and stand with israel,
- 00:21:34.502 --> 00:21:36.237
- And the younger pastors,
- 00:21:36.737 --> 00:21:38.105
- I don't say they don't love israel,
- 00:21:38.105 --> 00:21:39.940
- But they don't take a clear position about israel.
- 00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:43.143
- Yeah. i think the social justice movement
- 00:21:43.143 --> 00:21:46.013
- Is a massive one that has caused a lot of confusion.
- 00:21:46.013 --> 00:21:49.717
- Let me say this, god loves justice.
- 00:21:49.717 --> 00:21:51.785
- God is just, 100 percent,
- 00:21:51.785 --> 00:21:54.855
- But what the world, especially the west,
- 00:21:54.855 --> 00:21:57.424
- Is trying to say is, what is man's justice
- 00:21:57.424 --> 00:21:59.727
- And define it by ourselves.
- 00:21:59.727 --> 00:22:01.262
- And there is this very strong, i believe, deceptive tone
- 00:22:01.262 --> 00:22:05.165
- In the west, that is trying to frame israel
- 00:22:05.165 --> 00:22:08.135
- And make it this unjust, evil entity
- 00:22:08.135 --> 00:22:12.206
- And victimizing other people.
- 00:22:12.206 --> 00:22:15.075
- The pastors in these nations are susceptible to that.
- 00:22:15.075 --> 00:22:17.645
- They love the lord. they want, like you said,
- 00:22:17.645 --> 00:22:20.247
- The gospel to spread. they want to impact their communities
- 00:22:20.247 --> 00:22:22.550
- And things like this. but we know from history
- 00:22:22.550 --> 00:22:24.885
- Jewish people have often been the scapegoat
- 00:22:24.885 --> 00:22:27.154
- And there's nothing new under the sun in a way.
- 00:22:27.154 --> 00:22:29.623
- You look at the anti-israel rhetoric and the lies today
- 00:22:29.623 --> 00:22:32.993
- And if you just remove israel and put the word "jew,"
- 00:22:32.993 --> 00:22:35.829
- Okay, now you just have historic anti-semitism,
- 00:22:35.829 --> 00:22:38.432
- Anti-zionism, israel becomes the metaphorical jew.
- 00:22:38.432 --> 00:22:41.902
- And those are very powerful, poison chalices,
- 00:22:41.902 --> 00:22:46.774
- Those intimidate and they also confuse.
- 00:22:46.774 --> 00:22:49.510
- And so young pastors need to be educated,
- 00:22:49.510 --> 00:22:53.147
- They need to see israel
- 00:22:53.147 --> 00:22:54.782
- And they need to understand israel's heart.
- 00:22:54.782 --> 00:22:57.084
- Israel's heart is to take care, not perfectly,
- 00:22:57.084 --> 00:23:01.288
- Because they're an imperfect nation
- 00:23:01.288 --> 00:23:03.624
- Like everybody else, but they strive for morality
- 00:23:03.624 --> 00:23:07.828
- And to take care of the unfortunate.
- 00:23:07.828 --> 00:23:10.631
- And this gaza war has demonstrated that
- 00:23:10.631 --> 00:23:13.500
- For everything, from leaflets to humanitarian aid,
- 00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:16.036
- To moving around populations, to rescuing people,
- 00:23:16.036 --> 00:23:19.173
- It's incredible what the nation of israel has done.
- 00:23:19.173 --> 00:23:22.409
- But i've heard recently, for every pro-israel video
- 00:23:22.409 --> 00:23:26.146
- That's released in social media,
- 00:23:26.146 --> 00:23:28.315
- 95 anti-israel videos.
- 00:23:28.315 --> 00:23:31.151
- Peter... -that's what you're up against.
- 00:23:31.151 --> 00:23:32.786
- We have pastors watching us from all over the world. -yeah.
- 00:23:32.786 --> 00:23:35.756
- I would love you to speak to the young pastor
- 00:23:35.756 --> 00:23:38.659
- And tell them, why do you think they should stand with israel?
- 00:23:38.659 --> 00:23:42.262
- I think that they should stand with israel
- 00:23:42.262 --> 00:23:44.765
- Because this is the heart of god.
- 00:23:44.765 --> 00:23:47.101
- This is covenantal faithfulness, and it includes you.
- 00:23:47.101 --> 00:23:50.304
- It will illuminate the bible, it will illuminate truth
- 00:23:50.304 --> 00:23:53.607
- And you will see the signs and you will see god at work
- 00:23:53.607 --> 00:23:56.510
- And moving in a way that you've never experienced before,
- 00:23:56.510 --> 00:23:59.346
- And you are a part of it. you're joined to this.
- 00:23:59.346 --> 00:24:02.383
- It's not just israel and you. you are joined to this.
- 00:24:02.383 --> 00:24:06.253
- And so this is prophetic and this is redemption. -amen.
- 00:24:06.253 --> 00:24:10.424
- Peter, thank you very very much.
- 00:24:10.424 --> 00:24:12.726
- Thank you for the work of bridges for peace
- 00:24:12.726 --> 00:24:14.428
- And i can say that as an israeli.
- 00:24:14.428 --> 00:24:16.230
- Yes. -thank you very very much.
- 00:24:16.230 --> 00:24:18.532
- And to you, our friends,
- 00:24:18.532 --> 00:24:19.833
- I think peter encouraged us
- 00:24:20.434 --> 00:24:22.102
- To be a voice, to speak, to be bold for the truth
- 00:24:22.102 --> 00:24:25.939
- And more than all,
- 00:24:25.939 --> 00:24:27.274
- Continue to pray for the peace of jerusalem
- 00:24:27.274 --> 00:24:30.044
- And try to be a bridge to peace
- 00:24:30.044 --> 00:24:32.913
- In your family, wherever you are.
- 00:24:32.913 --> 00:24:35.349
- Shalom. shalom from jerusalem.
- 00:24:35.349 --> 00:24:37.451
- Back to you, yair.
- 00:24:37.885 --> 00:24:40.054
- We hope you are blessed by this interview.
- 00:24:40.054 --> 00:24:42.389
- Now let's go to a short commercial break,
- 00:24:42.389 --> 00:24:44.825
- After which let's get back here to pray
- 00:24:44.825 --> 00:24:47.995
- For the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:24:47.995 --> 00:24:53.007
- For the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:24:53.007 --> 00:24:57.997
- Thank you so much
- 00:24:58.430 --> 00:24:59.265
- For coming back to us.
- 00:24:59.265 --> 00:25:00.833
- You know,
- 00:25:00.833 --> 00:25:01.934
- Despite all these headlines,
- 00:25:01.934 --> 00:25:03.769
- All these complicated stories,
- 00:25:03.769 --> 00:25:06.172
- We need to remember one thing,
- 00:25:06.172 --> 00:25:08.440
- That our father in heaven is in control
- 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.310
- In every situation in our lives.
- 00:25:11.310 --> 00:25:13.913
- If it's a financial hardship, if it's a family matter,
- 00:25:13.913 --> 00:25:18.584
- If it's a threat of an attack of missiles against your country
- 00:25:18.584 --> 00:25:23.222
- Like we have here in israel,
