- And hezbollah in lebanon.
- 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.764
- But we have to start with the biggest news.
- 00:02:21.764 --> 00:02:23.800
- You just were in somaliland this week.
- 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.136
- Why did israel decide to become the first country in the world
- 00:02:27.136 --> 00:02:32.308
- To recognize the independence and the international legitimacy
- 00:02:32.308 --> 00:02:37.347
- Of somaliland in the horn of africa?
- 00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:40.216
- And you were just there. sometimes you need to be first.
- 00:02:40.216 --> 00:02:43.286
- When anyone else
- 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:47.123
- Is not doing the right thing, you need to do that.
- 00:02:47.123 --> 00:02:50.126
- And i am, after i've learned and we've learned
- 00:02:50.126 --> 00:02:53.763
- The history of somaliland, which is already
- 00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:57.533
- More than 34 years, a functional moderate
- 00:02:57.533 --> 00:03:02.038
- Democracy in a very important position.
- 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:05.742
- But the most important thing is we didn't create somaliland.
- 00:03:05.742 --> 00:03:10.813
- Somaliland was created,
- 00:03:10.813 --> 00:03:13.616
- More than 34 years ago.
- 00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.385
- As a matter of fact,
- 00:03:15.385 --> 00:03:17.720
- When the british
- 00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:20.990
- Colonial rule was over, they gained their independence.
- 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:24.327
- And 35 states, including the us and the uk,
- 00:03:24.327 --> 00:03:28.464
- Recognize somaliland in 1960.
- 00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:32.035
- Afterwards, they decided to unite with somalia.
- 00:03:32.035 --> 00:03:36.372
- But after a while they decided to quit.
- 00:03:36.372 --> 00:03:39.542
- Yeah.
- 00:03:39.542 --> 00:03:40.910
- After a huge massacre that was done against them.
- 00:03:40.910 --> 00:03:43.946
- So it is just the just thing to do.
- 00:03:43.946 --> 00:03:47.383
- And it is the right thing to do.
- 00:03:47.383 --> 00:03:48.885
- So we did it with it.
- 00:03:48.885 --> 00:03:50.987
- Whether it would be more convenient to be the second
- 00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:53.956
- Or the third or the fifth.
- 00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:55.391
- I agree, it's good to be first.
- 00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:57.160
- And i think most americans, especially american christians,
- 00:03:57.160 --> 00:04:00.163
- May not realize or remember that somalia was the site of black
- 00:04:00.163 --> 00:04:04.000
- Hawk down. radical islamism.
- 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.436
- You've got iran there.
- 00:04:06.436 --> 00:04:07.603
- You've got, all kinds of terror groups.
- 00:04:07.603 --> 00:04:09.972
- You got russia, you got china.
- 00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:14.677
- Okay, okay.
- 00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:15.878
- But let me tell you that somaliland,
- 00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:18.948
- For example, just a few days ago, supported,
- 00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:23.386
- What america did in venezuela.
- 00:04:23.986 --> 00:04:26.789
- How many africa of african countries had done that?
- 00:04:26.789 --> 00:04:29.759
- How many middle eastern countries have stating
- 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.795
- Clearly their support?
- 00:04:32.795 --> 00:04:35.431
- It's a pro-western
- 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:37.800
- Friendly with israel, moderate muslim country.
- 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.237
- Why shouldn't we be in touch with them?
- 00:04:41.237 --> 00:04:43.106
- Yeah, it's i mean, no one can decide for us
- 00:04:43.106 --> 00:04:46.809
- Who to recognize and who to have diplomatic ties.
- 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:50.446
- We so, so many countries in the world
- 00:04:50.446 --> 00:04:52.915
- Recognize the virtual state of palestine.
- 00:04:52.915 --> 00:04:56.452
- It's not an existing state.
- 00:04:56.452 --> 00:04:58.254
- Even even if a person supported it.
- 00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:01.224
- A palestinian state, it's a basket case.
- 00:05:01.224 --> 00:05:03.092
- It's just there.
- 00:05:03.092 --> 00:05:04.227
- There's corruption... but there's no such a state.
- 00:05:04.227 --> 00:05:06.863
- Right. in comparison.
- 00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:10.199
- You have a state named somaliland controlling.
- 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.070
- And if you look at the phoenicians,
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:17.840
- According to the international law,
- 00:05:18.641 --> 00:05:21.144
- They deserve to be recognized as a state.
- 00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:23.946
- So i hope that many countries will follow suit.
- 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:28.084
- And i think it's the right thing to do.
- 00:05:28.084 --> 00:05:31.354
- The just thing to do,
- 00:05:31.354 --> 00:05:32.889
- But also wise thing to do, because around this place
- 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:37.794
- You have a lot of radical trends.
- 00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:41.030
- So you need to strength those who are really,
- 00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:44.567
- Moderate be seeking people. yeah.
- 00:05:44.567 --> 00:05:46.836
- Especially this is right across the
- 00:05:46.836 --> 00:05:48.538
- The waterway from from, yemen, which has been firing
- 00:05:48.538 --> 00:05:52.074
- Ballistic missiles at us.
- 00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:53.543
- Well, my only criticism, because i totally agree
- 00:05:53.543 --> 00:05:55.645
- With the decision, is you didn't take us with you.
- 00:05:55.645 --> 00:05:57.513
- But now that, you know, at this time, i couldn't, i couldn't,
- 00:05:57.513 --> 00:06:00.583
- I might.
- 00:06:00.583 --> 00:06:01.551
- The security agency was very tough with us.
- 00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:04.387
- Fair enough.
- 00:06:04.387 --> 00:06:05.188
- And they were like,
- 00:06:05.188 --> 00:06:07.490
- We did all that, discreetly because we had a very,
- 00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:12.495
- Tough restrictions.
- 00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:14.964
- But. okay, i'm most where we were mostly kidding.
- 00:06:14.964 --> 00:06:18.134
- I believe, i believe it's not the last time i will be good.
- 00:06:18.134 --> 00:06:20.903
- I appreciate it.
- 00:06:20.903 --> 00:06:23.739
- Let's also talk about you just mentioned,
- 00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:25.842
- Venezuela, the the stunning and supremely successful
- 00:06:25.842 --> 00:06:30.213
- Decision by president trump to to capture and arrest,
- 00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:34.984
- The madman maduro, nicolas maduro, a narco terrorist.
- 00:06:34.984 --> 00:06:39.722
- Israel immediately came out in support of that decision. why?
- 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:44.727
- And what what was iran and hezbollah doing in terms
- 00:06:44.727 --> 00:06:48.498
- Of building, an alliance on the ground in, in venezuela?
- 00:06:48.498 --> 00:06:53.336
- First of all, maduro is not the legitimate president.
- 00:06:53.336 --> 00:06:57.340
- He lost the last elections.
- 00:06:57.340 --> 00:06:59.575
- The fact that he's a tyrant or a dictator, it's he's
- 00:06:59.575 --> 00:07:03.546
- Not the legitimate ruler of venezuela.
- 00:07:03.546 --> 00:07:07.450
- From an american point of view,
- 00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:11.854
- The, narco thing was, very essential.
- 00:07:11.854 --> 00:07:16.225
- But also drugs moving into the states on purpose.
- 00:07:16.225 --> 00:07:19.228
- Yeah. we
- 00:07:19.228 --> 00:07:20.830
- Know that maduro and venezuela under maduro
- 00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:25.635
- And previously under chavez, was the gate for iran
- 00:07:25.635 --> 00:07:29.772
- And hezbollah to enter to south america.
- 00:07:29.772 --> 00:07:33.442
- And, from there, to send their arms like an octopus.
- 00:07:33.442 --> 00:07:37.880
- And they had a lot of also,
- 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:40.316
- First of all, military cooperation.
- 00:07:40.316 --> 00:07:42.985
- And secondly, also they helped each other
- 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:46.455
- To bypass international sanctions.
- 00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:49.091
- So you have all the good reasons to support that.
- 00:07:49.091 --> 00:07:52.962
- As a matter of fact, if it wasn't, you know,
- 00:07:52.962 --> 00:07:56.432
- It happened during saturday and i had to waited until saturday.
- 00:07:56.432 --> 00:08:01.370
- We'll, we'll be out.
- 00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:04.307
- In order to published our support.
- 00:08:04.307 --> 00:08:06.342
- But i did it at the same minute
- 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:08.244
- Because i strongly support that.
- 00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:11.414
- Which is, your background is originally
- 00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:14.784
- Your family coming from argentina?
- 00:08:14.784 --> 00:08:16.218
- My father? yeah.
- 00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:16.886
- Yeah. your father.
- 00:08:16.886 --> 00:08:17.954
- So you really understand, the strategic dimension
- 00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:20.990
- Of what's going on in south america.
- 00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:22.558
- And and i commend trump administration
- 00:08:22.558 --> 00:08:27.396
- For his strategy for western hemisphere.
- 00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:31.133
- And you already see
- 00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:32.301
- The results in honduras, the right wing won. in chile,
- 00:08:32.301 --> 00:08:36.272
- The right wing won. in bolivia, which was also a pro-iranian,
- 00:08:36.272 --> 00:08:41.911
- Anti-american country, the right wing won. in argentina,
- 00:08:41.911 --> 00:08:46.115
- President milei had a great victory
- 00:08:46.115 --> 00:08:48.818
- In the parliamentarian elections.
- 00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:51.053
- I hope it will continue, but
- 00:08:51.654 --> 00:08:54.123
- I think there is a huge shift in south america.
- 00:08:54.123 --> 00:08:56.692
- When i was a month ago in washington, dc, i spoke with
- 00:08:56.692 --> 00:09:00.429
- Secretary rubio about that, and we must work together
- 00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:04.867
- To strengthen, for example, a state like bolivia,
- 00:09:04.867 --> 00:09:09.939
- Which, you know, they came to power and didn't
- 00:09:09.939 --> 00:09:13.109
- Found nothing there because they just robbed the country.
- 00:09:13.109 --> 00:09:19.448
- So it is very important to help these countries
- 00:09:19.448 --> 00:09:24.186
- That are going to the right path,
- 00:09:24.186 --> 00:09:27.723
- Meeting their challenges.
- 00:09:27.723 --> 00:09:28.891
- I think it's fascinating, that in the united states,
- 00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:32.528
- The secretary of state is from a cuban background.
- 00:09:32.528 --> 00:09:36.198
- Marco rubio and i know each other.
- 00:09:36.198 --> 00:09:37.733
- He's actually read several of my books.
- 00:09:37.733 --> 00:09:40.236
- But i like him in spite of that, anyway, and i appreciate that.
- 00:09:40.236 --> 00:09:44.106
- But he really understands central and south america.
- 00:09:44.106 --> 00:09:46.676
- You're from the, background on your father's side
- 00:09:46.676 --> 00:09:48.811
- As foreign minister of israel.
- 00:09:48.811 --> 00:09:50.246
- I think that's really interesting.
- 00:09:50.246 --> 00:09:51.881
- All right, let's deal with.
- 00:09:51.881 --> 00:09:53.082
- I believe secretary rubio really understand latin america,
- 00:09:53.082 --> 00:09:57.720
- But he also understands the full geopolitical,
- 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.758
- Picture, in the world.
- 00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:06.062
- He's a is a great friend of israel
- 00:10:06.062 --> 00:10:08.564
- And a great secretary of state.
- 00:10:08.564 --> 00:10:11.967
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report.
- 00:10:12.835 --> 00:10:15.037
- Why did israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu meet
- 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:18.474
- With 70 evangelical leaders in palm beach, florida?
- 00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:22.445
- What did he say to them?
- 00:10:22.445 --> 00:10:23.846
- And why was that meeting so important?
- 00:10:23.846 --> 00:10:26.515
- And what's next in lebanon and in gaza?
- 00:10:26.515 --> 00:10:29.452
- Don't miss the rest of my
- 00:10:29.452 --> 00:10:30.753
- Exclusive interview with israeli fm gideon sa█ar,
- 00:10:30.753 --> 00:10:34.690
- His first on any american television network, in 2026.
- 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:38.761
- When the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:10:38.761 --> 00:10:41.964
- Right after this break.
- 00:10:41.964 --> 00:10:45.001
- Right after this break.
- 00:10:45.001 --> 00:10:48.739
- Let's get back
- 00:10:49.072 --> 00:10:50.240
- To my exclusive interview with israeli foreign minister.
- 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.243
- Gideon sa█ar, his first interview
- 00:10:53.243 --> 00:10:55.579
- On any american television network in 2026.
- 00:10:55.579 --> 00:10:58.715
- And i
- 00:10:58.949 --> 00:11:00.183
- Ask him about the high stakes and fast moving developments
- 00:11:00.183 --> 00:11:03.420
- Here in the epicenter, from iran to lebanon to gaza.
- 00:11:03.420 --> 00:11:07.758
- Let's pick up with that conversation.
- 00:11:07.758 --> 00:11:10.360
- It's interesting. you know, there's all kinds of news,
- 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.096
- Stories,
- 00:11:13.363 --> 00:11:14.865
- Barack ravid and others, in early december.
- 00:11:14.865 --> 00:11:17.634
- Oh, there's tremendous tension between trump and his inner
- 00:11:17.634 --> 00:11:21.138
- Circle and prime minister netanyahu.
- 00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:24.141
- And yet netanyahu gets invited for his sixth
- 00:11:24.141 --> 00:11:27.511
- Private meeting with the president to his
- 00:11:27.511 --> 00:11:30.247
- Trump's personal home, including on new year's eve.
- 00:11:30.247 --> 00:11:33.784
- So let's set aside the fake news.
- 00:11:33.784 --> 00:11:35.485
- Let's deal with the real news.
- 00:11:35.485 --> 00:11:36.853
- Iran was the central topic.
- 00:11:36.853 --> 00:11:38.622
- They certainly talked about a lot of things,
- 00:11:38.622 --> 00:11:40.157
- But where are we?
- 00:11:40.157 --> 00:11:42.192
- Does president trump and do prime minister netanyahu now?
- 00:11:42.192 --> 00:11:46.696
- Do they assess the intelligence,
- 00:11:46.696 --> 00:11:50.000
- The same way that iran is trying to reconstitute its nuclear
- 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.738
- Weapons program and maybe
- 00:11:54.738 --> 00:11:56.206
- Even more aggressively, its ballistic missile,
- 00:11:56.206 --> 00:12:00.110
- Production to try to overwhelm israeli missile defenses with,
- 00:12:00.110 --> 00:12:04.815
- You know, hundreds or thousands of missiles
- 00:12:04.815 --> 00:12:06.716
- At the same time, do they see iran the same way at the moment?
- 00:12:06.716 --> 00:12:10.153
- Yeah, i think so. yeah.
- 00:12:10.153 --> 00:12:11.721
- First of all, president
- 00:12:11.721 --> 00:12:13.089
- Trump is a great leader of the free world.
- 00:12:13.089 --> 00:12:14.925
- And he demonstrated that also last june, while,
- 00:12:14.925 --> 00:12:18.895
- Attacking iran's nuclear facility.
- 00:12:19.663 --> 00:12:23.600
- That was,
- 00:12:23.900 --> 00:12:25.035
- An extraordinary and extraordinary leadership,
- 00:12:26.002 --> 00:12:30.340
- That demonstrated american decisiveness
- 00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:35.145
- To prevent iran from being nuclear.
- 00:12:35.145 --> 00:12:37.914
- And as a matter of fact, i think this is one of the reasons
- 00:12:37.914 --> 00:12:43.119
- They had not returned yet
- 00:12:43.687 --> 00:12:46.389
- To enrich uranium since june.
- 00:12:46.389 --> 00:12:49.759
- They do restore or started to restore
- 00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:53.463
- The ballistic missiles plan.
- 00:12:53.463 --> 00:12:56.466
- And this is also, i think, for a worry.
- 00:12:56.466 --> 00:12:58.835
- But i think president trump made it very clear
- 00:12:58.835 --> 00:13:01.605
- If they will try to restore powers that threaten,
- 00:13:01.605 --> 00:13:07.177
- The whole region.
- 00:13:07.611 --> 00:13:10.747
- They will have an issue with america,
- 00:13:10.747 --> 00:13:12.916
- Not only with, israel.
- 00:13:12.916 --> 00:13:15.151
- So i believe president trump
- 00:13:15.151 --> 00:13:17.587
- Has a record that his words, should be carefully,
- 00:13:17.587 --> 00:13:23.059
- Taking into consideration in tehran.
- 00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:25.929
- Well, with, you know, he gave iran 60 days.
- 00:13:25.929 --> 00:13:29.099
- They didn't negotiate in good faith.
- 00:13:29.099 --> 00:13:31.501
- They didn't make a deal.
- 00:13:31.501 --> 00:13:32.736
- And it seems like on day 61, trump called the prime minister
- 00:13:32.736 --> 00:13:36.106
- Bibi,
- 00:13:36.106 --> 00:13:36.940
- Go do what you gotta do.
- 00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:39.476
- And then he came through and stood with israel
- 00:13:39.476 --> 00:13:41.411
- And now with nicolas maduro.
- 00:13:41.411 --> 00:13:42.879
- He told him, you know, stand down.
- 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.015
- Otherwise you're going to face judgment.
- 00:13:45.015 --> 00:13:46.917
- So the president's, standing globally
- 00:13:46.917 --> 00:13:49.686
- And between the middle east, i think it's very, very high.
- 00:13:49.686 --> 00:13:52.022
- I guess the question is the president said,
- 00:13:52.022 --> 00:13:55.392
- That if
- 00:13:55.625 --> 00:13:56.593
- Iran moves back into an offensive past year,
- 00:13:56.593 --> 00:14:00.263
- There will be all hell to pay that the next attack
- 00:14:00.263 --> 00:14:02.899
- Could be larger than last june.
- 00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:06.703
- Do are are we looking at the possibility of massive
- 00:14:06.703 --> 00:14:11.141
- Israeli american strikes again inside iran in 2026?
- 00:14:11.141 --> 00:14:16.846
- Well,
- 00:14:16.846 --> 00:14:18.748
- I don't think that after the words of president
- 00:14:18.748 --> 00:14:22.786
- Trump, i need to deliver some new threats.
- 00:14:22.786 --> 00:14:26.089
- Okay? things were clear.
- 00:14:26.089 --> 00:14:28.725
- Iran cannot be nuclear
- 00:14:28.725 --> 00:14:31.928
- And iran cannot,
- 00:14:31.928 --> 00:14:35.231
- Again, try to develop existential threats
- 00:14:35.231 --> 00:14:38.835
- For the state of israel while they are openly,
- 00:14:38.835 --> 00:14:42.238
- Speaking, about their, intention
- 00:14:42.872 --> 00:14:46.643
- To eliminate the state of israel.
- 00:14:46.643 --> 00:14:48.211
- I mean, they're not hiding that. right?
- 00:14:48.211 --> 00:14:50.146
- So we will watch things very closely.
- 00:14:50.146 --> 00:14:53.750
- We also see the, the people of iran
- 00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:56.987
- Today is, is, on the news.
- 00:14:56.987 --> 00:15:00.390
- And frankly, we wish them much success.
- 00:15:00.390 --> 00:15:03.727
- We support their struggle for freedom.
- 00:15:03.727 --> 00:15:06.730
- We think they deserve freedom.
- 00:15:06.730 --> 00:15:08.031
- We think they deserve a better future.
- 00:15:08.031 --> 00:15:10.900
- We don't have any, hostility with the people of iran.
- 00:15:10.900 --> 00:15:16.072
- We have a huge problem,
- 00:15:16.573 --> 00:15:18.942
- Which is not only our problem, it's a regional
- 00:15:18.942 --> 00:15:22.245
- And international problem with the iranian regime,
- 00:15:22.245 --> 00:15:25.949
- Which is the number one exporter
- 00:15:25.949 --> 00:15:29.352
- Of terrorism, radicalism everywhere.
- 00:15:29.352 --> 00:15:33.256
- They are working
- 00:15:33.256 --> 00:15:34.391
- Against the stability in the region beyond the region.
- 00:15:34.391 --> 00:15:37.794
- We we've just heard what,
- 00:15:38.361 --> 00:15:41.064
- The americans
- 00:15:41.431 --> 00:15:42.465
- Had described about their deeds in venezuela.
- 00:15:42.465 --> 00:15:45.602
- It's it's a really vicious regime.
- 00:15:46.336 --> 00:15:48.471
- Let's talk about then, lebanon, hezbollah.
- 00:15:48.471 --> 00:15:51.608
- Hezbollah, a wholly owned subsidiary
- 00:15:51.608 --> 00:15:54.844
- Of the iranian regime.
- 00:15:54.844 --> 00:15:56.746
- There's been there's a lot of rumors going on, here
- 00:15:56.746 --> 00:15:59.983
- That hezbollah is trying to get up off the mat,
- 00:15:59.983 --> 00:16:03.319
- That they're trying to rise again.
- 00:16:03.319 --> 00:16:05.889
- Do you do trump and netanyahu
- 00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:08.191
- See the same way that there may need to be more,
- 00:16:08.191 --> 00:16:11.561
- Aggressive action against hezbollah in lebanon in 26?
- 00:16:11.561 --> 00:16:15.632
- I think they are on the same page also on lebanon.
- 00:16:15.632 --> 00:16:19.602
- And it is very clear
- 00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:22.005
- The government of lebanon
- 00:16:22.005 --> 00:16:23.273
- Took the decision to disarm hezbollah.
- 00:16:23.273 --> 00:16:25.375
- They must implement.
- 00:16:25.375 --> 00:16:27.343
- We appreciate the decision itself. we,
- 00:16:27.343 --> 00:16:30.947
- Acknowledge some efforts that were done,
- 00:16:31.815 --> 00:16:35.518
- But surely not enough,
- 00:16:35.518 --> 00:16:38.955
- Very, very partial.
- 00:16:39.422 --> 00:16:41.057
- And at the same time, iran already sent
- 00:16:41.057 --> 00:16:44.828
- Billion dollar to hezbollah and the hezbollah,
- 00:16:44.828 --> 00:16:47.897
- As a matter of fact, more rearming than being disarmed.
- 00:16:47.897 --> 00:16:51.734
- Yeah. that concerns me.
- 00:16:51.734 --> 00:16:54.437
- Eventually they must be disarm.
- 00:16:55.071 --> 00:16:58.975
- It's the security of israel.
- 00:16:58.975 --> 00:17:00.343
- But not only the security of israel on stake.
- 00:17:00.343 --> 00:17:03.146
- Also the future of lebanon.
- 00:17:03.146 --> 00:17:05.315
- Lebanon will not be independent
- 00:17:05.315 --> 00:17:08.451
- Until, hezbollah will be dismantled.
- 00:17:08.451 --> 00:17:11.521
- They cannot be under iranian occupation,
- 00:17:11.521 --> 00:17:16.092
- Even an indirect occupation for decades of plo,
- 00:17:16.092 --> 00:17:22.565
- Domination, syrian domination, iranian domination.
- 00:17:22.565 --> 00:17:26.336
- Do you think that if
- 00:17:26.803 --> 00:17:28.905
- If the lebanese government, you know, find its strength
- 00:17:28.905 --> 00:17:32.242
- With american help and other international help
- 00:17:32.242 --> 00:17:34.711
- And can cast off iran and hezbollah,
- 00:17:34.711 --> 00:17:37.647
- Can you see a scenario that lebanon would want to make
- 00:17:37.647 --> 00:17:40.617
- A peace treaty, join, the abraham accords with israel?
- 00:17:40.617 --> 00:17:44.254
- I think so, do you?
- 00:17:44.721 --> 00:17:46.256
- Yeah, because
- 00:17:46.256 --> 00:17:48.091
- We can very easily reach a peace agreement with lebanon.
- 00:17:48.091 --> 00:17:51.794
- What are our disputes with lebanon?
- 00:17:51.794 --> 00:17:54.464
- We have some minor,
- 00:17:54.464 --> 00:17:57.200
- Arguments about the
- 00:17:57.667 --> 00:17:59.602
- Borderline, very minor.
- 00:17:59.602 --> 00:18:03.039
- The problem is hezbollah.
- 00:18:03.606 --> 00:18:05.642
- The the the thing that stands
- 00:18:05.642 --> 00:18:08.545
- Between this is how i see it, normalization of israel
- 00:18:08.545 --> 00:18:12.715
- And lebanon
- 00:18:12.715 --> 00:18:13.483
- Is hezbollah and their being so,
- 00:18:13.483 --> 00:18:18.621
- Strong militarily inside lebanon.
- 00:18:19.322 --> 00:18:21.524
- I hope we see a turning point in 26.
- 00:18:21.524 --> 00:18:23.393
- One more question.
- 00:18:23.393 --> 00:18:24.494
- I really appreciate it.
- 00:18:24.494 --> 00:18:26.963
- Gaza, obviously, that was a huge issue
- 00:18:26.963 --> 00:18:29.065
- For trump and netanyahu to discuss it.
- 00:18:29.065 --> 00:18:33.102
- I'm a little concerned
- 00:18:33.102 --> 00:18:34.304
- That president trump, who i trust on a lot of issues,
- 00:18:34.304 --> 00:18:37.440
- But he seems very supportive, open, let's say,
- 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.276
- To the possibility of turkish military forces in gaza.
- 00:18:40.276 --> 00:18:44.614
- Did did prime minister netanyahu come to some sort of
- 00:18:44.614 --> 00:18:48.017
- Understanding or agreement with president trump on this issue?
- 00:18:48.017 --> 00:18:51.254
- I would say he definitely on turkey.
- 00:18:51.254 --> 00:18:55.191
- They don't, see,
- 00:18:55.592 --> 00:18:58.528
- They don't share the same positions.
- 00:18:59.329 --> 00:19:01.564
- It is clear it is evident.
- 00:19:01.564 --> 00:19:03.299
- But president trump also made it clear
- 00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:07.103
- That for turkey to be in gaza strip,
- 00:19:07.103 --> 00:19:10.573
- They will need an israeli consent.
- 00:19:10.573 --> 00:19:13.009
- And we will not agree
- 00:19:13.009 --> 00:19:14.444
- That turkey will bring in a direct conflict with erdogan,
- 00:19:14.444 --> 00:19:17.981
- Who says jerusalem is his, that he wants to invade our country
- 00:19:17.981 --> 00:19:21.718
- And would put us in conflict with nato, or if,
- 00:19:21.718 --> 00:19:24.954
- God forbid, 100%.
- 00:19:24.954 --> 00:19:26.656
- And it won't happens because we will not agree.
- 00:19:26.656 --> 00:19:29.659
- We will not agree that to happen.
- 00:19:29.659 --> 00:19:31.427
- You know, we we found out on october 7th
- 00:19:31.427 --> 00:19:34.764
- And maybe before that that we have a border
- 00:19:34.764 --> 00:19:38.668
- With iran in the north, hezbollah in the south, hamas.
- 00:19:38.668 --> 00:19:43.473
- We don't seek for a border with turkey.
- 00:19:43.473 --> 00:19:45.375
- Amen.
- 00:19:45.375 --> 00:19:46.776
- Mr. foreign minister, thank you.
- 00:19:46.776 --> 00:19:48.978
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
- 00:19:49.746 --> 00:19:52.215
- Why did israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu
- 00:19:52.215 --> 00:19:54.984
- Meet with 70 evangelical leaders in palm beach?
- 00:19:54.984 --> 00:19:58.488
- What exactly did he say to them, and why was that
- 00:19:58.488 --> 00:20:01.291
- Meeting so important amidst everything else on his plate?
- 00:20:01.291 --> 00:20:05.295
- Why did he do it?
- 00:20:05.295 --> 00:20:06.429
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:20:06.429 --> 00:20:10.366
- Right after this break.
- 00:20:10.366 --> 00:20:13.006
- Right after this break.
- 00:20:13.006 --> 00:20:16.773
- Amidst a very full schedule of meetings
- 00:20:17.540 --> 00:20:20.076
- With jewish leaders and with senior administration
- 00:20:20.076 --> 00:20:23.246
- Officials in the trump administration,
- 00:20:23.246 --> 00:20:24.847
- Including president donald trump, secretary of state
- 00:20:24.847 --> 00:20:27.717
- Rubio, secretary of war pete hegseth and others.
- 00:20:27.717 --> 00:20:30.586
- Why exactly did israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu
- 00:20:30.586 --> 00:20:34.590
- Carve out time?
- 00:20:34.590 --> 00:20:35.692
- Very valuable time, during that week to meet
- 00:20:35.692 --> 00:20:39.128
- With evangelical christian leaders in palm beach, florida?
- 00:20:39.128 --> 00:20:42.365
- Well, he had three reasons, as i reported on all israel news.
- 00:20:42.365 --> 00:20:46.336
- First, netanyahu wanted to demonstrate genuine
- 00:20:46.336 --> 00:20:50.073
- Gratitude to the evangelical christian community.
- 00:20:50.073 --> 00:20:53.176
- Netanyahu knows that evangelical christians,
- 00:20:54.077 --> 00:20:56.713
- 60 million in the united states, 600 million worldwide,
- 00:20:56.713 --> 00:21:01.084
- Are far and away the best friends that israel
- 00:21:01.084 --> 00:21:04.354
- And the jewish people have,
- 00:21:04.354 --> 00:21:06.155
- Especially in a world of exploding antisemitism
- 00:21:06.155 --> 00:21:09.559
- And hatred of the jewish people and the jewish state.
- 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:13.262
- Therefore, netanyahu wanted to demonstrate
- 00:21:13.262 --> 00:21:15.665
- His deep appreciation
- 00:21:15.665 --> 00:21:17.166
- And his deep gratitude for the tens of millions
- 00:21:17.166 --> 00:21:20.403
- Of evangelical christians who read the bible, love the bible,
- 00:21:20.403 --> 00:21:24.173
- And actually believe the bible from genesis through revelation.
- 00:21:24.173 --> 00:21:28.444
- Second, netanyahu wanted to counter
- 00:21:28.444 --> 00:21:32.014
- The avalanche of lies that are descending upon israel
- 00:21:32.014 --> 00:21:35.985
- And the jewish people on the american left,
- 00:21:35.985 --> 00:21:37.787
- And particularly on the american right.
- 00:21:37.787 --> 00:21:40.957
- Netanyahu sees judeo christian civilization
- 00:21:40.957 --> 00:21:44.460
- Under direct and vicious and relentless attack.
- 00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:48.364
- This is, he believes, a clear and present danger to the lives
- 00:21:49.565 --> 00:21:54.337
- And well-being not just of jews, but of christians as well.
- 00:21:54.337 --> 00:21:58.708
- The situation is bad, and it's getting worse.
- 00:21:58.708 --> 00:22:01.177
- He believes in 2025, for example, tucker carlson,
- 00:22:01.177 --> 00:22:05.014
- Candace owens, steve bannon, nick fuentes and others
- 00:22:05.014 --> 00:22:09.419
- Took direct aim at christians who love israel, right?
- 00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:13.656
- They're trying actively to blow up the massive movement
- 00:22:13.656 --> 00:22:18.127
- And coalition of christian zionists who love israel
- 00:22:18.127 --> 00:22:21.898
- And believe god has a plan for israel.
- 00:22:21.898 --> 00:22:23.433
- With malicious lies, slurs and innuendo.
- 00:22:23.433 --> 00:22:28.171
- Candace owens says israel is a demonic country.
- 00:22:28.171 --> 00:22:32.141
- Her quote, not mine.
- 00:22:32.141 --> 00:22:33.676
- Tucker carlson says christian zionism.
- 00:22:33.676 --> 00:22:36.245
- Zionism is heresy
- 00:22:36.245 --> 00:22:38.748
- And that christian zionists have a brain virus.
- 00:22:38.748 --> 00:22:42.685
- All of them have expressed their hatred
- 00:22:42.685 --> 00:22:45.521
- For evangelical christians
- 00:22:45.521 --> 00:22:47.523
- That are either in or close to the trump administration
- 00:22:47.523 --> 00:22:51.027
- People, christians, like mike huckabee, like,
- 00:22:51.027 --> 00:22:54.664
- Lindsey graham, like ted cruz and others who support
- 00:22:54.664 --> 00:22:58.301
- An even stronger us-israel alliance.
- 00:22:58.301 --> 00:23:01.871
- Again, folks like huckabee, cruz, lindsey graham,
- 00:23:01.871 --> 00:23:05.141
- Who are working among many, many others to try to figure out
- 00:23:05.141 --> 00:23:08.478
- How can we work together to advance american interests
- 00:23:08.478 --> 00:23:12.014
- That also happen to strengthen our number one
- 00:23:12.014 --> 00:23:14.584
- Ally here in the middle east, israel?
- 00:23:14.584 --> 00:23:17.220
- So netanyahu wanted to meet with evangelical leaders
- 00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:20.490
- To brief them on the latest developments,
- 00:23:20.490 --> 00:23:23.192
- Answered their questions and help them counter
- 00:23:23.192 --> 00:23:26.762
- The avalanche of lies with the facts.
- 00:23:26.762 --> 00:23:30.466
- Third,
- 00:23:30.666 --> 00:23:32.134
- Netanyahu wanted to discuss with evangelical leaders
- 00:23:32.134 --> 00:23:35.471
- How best to strengthen and expand the christian
- 00:23:35.471 --> 00:23:40.776
- Zionist movement amidst this vicious onslaught
- 00:23:40.776 --> 00:23:45.214
- To destroy judeo christian civilization.
- 00:23:45.214 --> 00:23:50.086
- Netanyahu knows that young evangelicals in particular
- 00:23:50.086 --> 00:23:53.356
- Are turning against israel,
- 00:23:53.356 --> 00:23:55.124
- And he's very concerned, and he's right to be concerned.
- 00:23:55.124 --> 00:23:58.394
- That's why this group not only included
- 00:23:58.394 --> 00:24:00.696
- Pastors, evangelical pastors,
- 00:24:00.696 --> 00:24:02.632
- And the heads of christian nonprofit groups and ministries.
- 00:24:02.632 --> 00:24:06.168
- It also included the heads of several christian universities.
- 00:24:06.168 --> 00:24:10.740
- For example, doctor jonathan falwell,
- 00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:13.142
- The president of liberty university, was there.
- 00:24:13.142 --> 00:24:15.878
- Liberty university is the largest evangelical university
- 00:24:15.878 --> 00:24:19.515
- In the world.
- 00:24:19.515 --> 00:24:20.550
- And so it was very important.
- 00:24:20.550 --> 00:24:21.717
- So i want to show you now remarks that netanyahu made to
- 00:24:21.717 --> 00:24:25.688
- This group.
- 00:24:25.688 --> 00:24:26.656
- So you know exactly what he's talking about,
- 00:24:26.656 --> 00:24:28.257
- What his concerns were, and you hear it in his own voice.
- 00:24:28.257 --> 00:24:32.194
- You are representatives of the christian zionists who made
- 00:24:32.194 --> 00:24:35.798
- Jewish zionism possible.
- 00:24:36.332 --> 00:24:38.067
- It's hard for me to conceive
- 00:24:38.668 --> 00:24:40.136
- The emergence of the jewish state,
- 00:24:40.136 --> 00:24:41.771
- The reemergence of the jewish state
- 00:24:41.771 --> 00:24:44.774
- Without the support of christian zionists
- 00:24:44.774 --> 00:24:47.743
- In the united states, also in britain.
- 00:24:47.743 --> 00:24:50.813
- But the main thrust was in the united states
- 00:24:50.813 --> 00:24:53.849
- In the 19th century.
- 00:24:54.317 --> 00:24:56.218
- So christian zionism facilitated
- 00:24:56.218 --> 00:24:59.589
- The rise and success of jewish zionism.
- 00:24:59.589 --> 00:25:02.725
- And it's been an enormous partnership since then.
- 00:25:02.725 --> 00:25:06.062
- You have stood by us
- 00:25:06.529 --> 00:25:09.165
- Through thick and thin, and now we're challenged by
- 00:25:09.165 --> 00:25:12.702
- New challenges, but equally with new opportunities
- 00:25:13.703 --> 00:25:16.906
- We have fought.
- 00:25:17.273 --> 00:25:19.041
- As you know, a 7 front war.
- 00:25:19.041 --> 00:25:22.612
- And we've come out
- 00:25:23.045 --> 00:25:25.314
- In many ways victorious,
- 00:25:25.314 --> 00:25:27.617
- But there's an eighth front,
- 00:25:27.617 --> 00:25:29.518
- And that's the front for the hearts and minds
- 00:25:29.518 --> 00:25:32.688
- Of, people, especially young people in the west.
- 00:25:32.688 --> 00:25:36.959
- And for me, especially in the united states
- 00:25:36.959 --> 00:25:39.562
- And for me,
- 00:25:39.895 --> 00:25:41.063
- Especially on the conservative wing of the united states.
- 00:25:41.063 --> 00:25:44.300
- I think it's our common judeo christian
- 00:25:44.300 --> 00:25:46.902
- Civilizational battle.
- 00:25:46.902 --> 00:25:49.338
- And i think we, we have to engage in that battle
- 00:25:49.338 --> 00:25:52.975
- As forcefully
- 00:25:53.342 --> 00:25:54.744
- With as much resolution as we engage the other seven fronts.
- 00:25:54.744 --> 00:25:58.481
- I think it affects not only israel.
- 00:25:58.481 --> 00:26:00.883
- It affects america.
- 00:26:00.883 --> 00:26:01.851
- It affects our alliance.
- 00:26:01.851 --> 00:26:03.552
- It affects the future of western civilization.
- 00:26:03.552 --> 00:26:06.589
- And we are conscious of the fact that christians
- 00:26:06.589 --> 00:26:09.225
- Are being persecuted
- 00:26:09.225 --> 00:26:10.626
- Across the middle east and syria, lebanon, nigeria
- 00:26:10.626 --> 00:26:13.996
- And turkey and beyond,
- 00:26:14.463 --> 00:26:16.899
- And also aware of the fact, as you are, that one
- 00:26:16.899 --> 00:26:19.235
- Country protects the christian community,
- 00:26:19.235 --> 00:26:22.571
- Enables it to grow, defends it and make sure that it thrives
- 00:26:22.571 --> 00:26:27.243
- And that country is israel, there is no other.
- 00:26:27.243 --> 00:26:31.414
- We are
- 00:26:31.614 --> 00:26:32.648
- Joining an effort
- 00:26:33.082 --> 00:26:34.650
- To have basically a united nations of countries
- 00:26:34.650 --> 00:26:37.853
- That support christian communities around the world,
- 00:26:37.853 --> 00:26:40.690
- Beleaguered communities who deserve our help,
- 00:26:40.690 --> 00:26:43.793
- Just as you are helping us.
- 00:26:43.793 --> 00:26:45.227
- We want to help back.
- 00:26:45.227 --> 00:26:47.663
- Well, i pray that you will share a copy of the show,

- As you walk with the lord jesus christ, as you spend time

- In his words, time and fellowship
- 00:27:10.786 --> 00:27:12.488
- Time and worship time and prayer for the peace of jerusalem
- 00:27:12.488 --> 00:27:15.424
- And all of our neighbors.

- In the name of jesus.
