Israel is also attacking today [00:00:46] in Lebanon. A lot of politics both in Israel and in the United States. [00:00:49] Mandani suffers a harsh humiliation when he is removed in disgrace [00:00:53] from an event where he tried to give a speech unsuccessfully. Dedi Shimhi will be here [00:00:57] who ran with Gantz along with many parties that are running [00:01:01] like mushrooms, scraping the electoral threshold. [00:01:04] The young Israeli, who was attacked by a pro-Palestinian tourist [00:01:08] violently, and even though the Palestinian, the pro-Palestinian, [00:01:10] was much larger than him in many dimensions, the Israeli, a discharged combat soldier from the IDF, gave [00:01:14] him some glorious ippons. We start with the disaster [00:01:18] in Lebanon. In a short time, Yuval with comfort, Staff Sergeant [00:01:22] Advanced Tamir Vahakin, 33 from Eilat, a combat [00:01:25] medic in the paratroopers. Tamir left behind parents and two [00:01:29] brothers. Earlier today, the company commander, Major [00:01:32] (res.) Harel Birnstock, may he rest in peace, was laid to rest. [00:01:36] Harel, 34 years old, left behind a wife, [00:01:39] four children, parents, brothers and sisters. Aviv [00:01:43] eulogized him, maybe we are weak now, [00:01:46] defeated and crying, but I promise you, [00:01:49] Harel, that no one can defeat us, [00:01:53] and we will always be happy, [00:01:56] in our home. The people of Israel live. [00:02:01] Yonat and Shlomo Birnstock, Harel's parents, [00:02:04] may he rest in peace, join us now. I share [00:02:08] your sorrow from the bottom of my heart. It can be said [00:02:11] about Harel, a son, a father, a husband, a fierce combat officer, [00:02:14] a soulful engineer at Elbit, king [00:02:17] of the land. What a [00:02:19] loss. Hello [00:02:21] to you. Hello, hello. [00:02:25] Yes, what do I always say to myself, what can I do? To feel [00:02:39] that you are not a private matter, it's [00:02:42] a national matter. No one will take your private disaster [00:02:45] from you, unfortunately, but we [00:02:49] want to share the empathy and the burden [00:02:52] with you. So I invite you to say what is on [00:02:55] your heart. [00:02:58] Tell us about your son, yes. [00:03:02] The truth is that the goal of us coming on air [00:03:06] is mainly, first of all, of course, to tell [00:03:10] about Harel, [00:03:12] but we want people [00:03:15] to know that in this country there are [00:03:18] people who simply [00:03:22] dedicate all their lives to the army [00:03:25] without any hesitation, and Harel [00:03:28] was one of them. He [00:03:30] was [00:03:34] completely involved both in Elbit [00:03:38] and in the family, and a lot, a lot [00:03:42] in the military all the time. Phone [00:03:44] calls [00:03:47] and how to bring the soldiers [00:03:50] to reserves and how to create unit [00:03:52] pride. It was like this, he would walk around our [00:03:56] house, and he would ask his brothers, "How can I create [00:04:01] unit pride for my company?" It was Company A, [00:04:05] that's how they talk, and then the idea came up that Company A [00:04:08] are lions. He went and made [00:04:12] badges, everything from his private time, [00:04:15] in order to create unit pride, [00:04:18] so that the presence of the reservists, of the soldiers in reserves, [00:04:21] would be maximal, so that everyone [00:04:25] would contribute. He invested [00:04:28] hundreds and thousands of hours in this with the parents [00:04:30] and with the soldiers, how to convince [00:04:34] them and to take care of them. [00:04:36] Also, to create for them, well, [00:04:40] he probably got this education at home. We are [00:04:44] sure, we heard your words [00:04:46] too. [00:04:48] Thank you, thank you. Now, what I wanted to tell about [00:04:52] Harel, more from a personal [00:04:56] perspective, Harel had [00:05:00] two traits. First, I will talk about the trait of [00:05:04] seriousness. He was very, very serious. You hear [00:05:08] his soldiers in the company, whom he [00:05:11] referred to as "my company." He would not let them sit and do [00:05:14] nothing, because sitting would lead to the next [00:05:18] disaster. Meaning, even in a situation where there was a relaxed activity, he [00:05:21] would say, "I am doing an activity, I am not letting you rest." Everything [00:05:25] was, meaning, I asked the [00:05:27] commander, what is the procedure for entry, because I [00:05:31] was surprised how it could be that he stepped on the device, because we talked so much [00:05:35] about this, about caution. He would not [00:05:38] compromise on these things. So what was [00:05:41] the answer? Interesting, interesting, what was the answer? The answer [00:05:45] was that it's a place they entered, that it's 80 meters from where they [00:05:48] sleep. The place already had no surrounding [00:05:51] walls, and apparently on one of the [00:05:55] beams there was an old charge that was activated [00:05:57] in some way, but I was very surprised to see how [00:06:01] such a thing happens, because I know how [00:06:04] serious he was. A point regarding [00:06:08] his seriousness, the issue of his [00:06:13] sports training, he volunteered [00:06:17] to run for Shalva. Shalva is for [00:06:19] children [00:06:21] with special needs, and you need to raise money and participants in the race, [00:06:25] in the race, yes, I know that, I think the Harush [00:06:29] family, who lost a son, [00:06:32] participates in this race, right, right. And he [00:06:35] trained for months, [00:06:39] he trained for months for the race. Suddenly. [00:06:42] The war, he was in the reserves, he couldn't train. He would go down to the Hula Valley to run [00:06:46] there. He was released [00:06:49] two days, meaning, after he was already in reserve service, three [00:06:52] months, after two days, he ran [00:06:55] the Natan race, as if [00:06:59] he wouldn't give up, Ima. [00:07:02] Yonat, no, no, no giving up. [00:07:04] You knew, [00:07:07] yes, no, I want to know if, what did I know, [00:07:10] you knew, you worried, you were afraid. Yesterday, when it was discussed all day [00:07:14] before it was allowed to be published, I didn't hear anything, the truth is [00:07:18] that throughout all these years [00:07:21] since Harel became an officer in this war, [00:07:25] I was hysterically worried, [00:07:27] and I was really [00:07:30] plagued by daily worries, existential [00:07:34] worries, really. And once I decided that I would somewhat [00:07:37] release this pressure since October 7th [00:07:41] and give myself more trust in God, that things, that things [00:07:44] would be alright, that God would protect [00:07:48] him, and I decided to be a bit calmer. And the truth is [00:07:52] that the day before, I was with Harel at [00:07:56] my parents' house. We came for a visit, each separately, [00:07:59] but we met there. We planned to visit them, and he [00:08:03] showed me, he showed me the ruins of Majdal Zoun, [00:08:06] the place where what happened, [00:08:10] happened. And... everything there looked [00:08:13] completely destroyed, and I never thought I should worry. I even told him, [00:08:16] "Harel, what happened? It's all ruins, everything is fine." So he told [00:08:20] me, "You're right, there's nothing to worry about, but you can always think something [00:08:24] might happen," but I didn't take it seriously at all. And [00:08:28] yes, they arrived exactly when I wasn't looking out the window, [00:08:32] which I always did. And that's it. I wanted [00:08:36] to also tell about his lightheartedness. Shlomo told [00:08:40] about his so I... his other side [00:08:44] is a very, very lighthearted [00:08:47] and charming side. The child [00:08:50] was, since a very, very young age, very, very [00:08:54] charming, and he turned everything into a joke [00:08:57] and a prank, and I think that just helped him cope with all [00:09:01] the burdens that Shlomo just talked about. He was responsible for so many [00:09:05] soldiers and for so many tasks and projects at his [00:09:08] job, so he spiced everything [00:09:11] with a lot of humor and a lot of laughter and a lot of lightness. He would come [00:09:15] home, he really, really loved music of all kinds, of all kinds, [00:09:18] he would come home [00:09:22] with enthusiasm and shouts [00:09:25] and cheers and something very, very [00:09:28] charming, and everyone was [00:09:31] drawn to him. His friends who were abroad with him just told [00:09:34] now, and even with the Muslim hegemon [00:09:38] who was there, just within [00:09:41] two sentences, he became his [00:09:44] friend without knowing English and without knowing [00:09:47] French. It was in France. [00:09:50] And yes, he is a person who attracts [00:09:53] people. People here told that they [00:09:55] were, yes. Thank you very much, thank you very much [00:09:59] from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for agreeing to talk [00:10:02] about him. Thank you for your openness and for your determination. [00:10:06] I am sure that your hearts are burning, but [00:10:09] the ability to package everything and [00:10:13] deliver it, you delivered Harel in a very [00:10:16] very lively way, one might say. Thank you very much, may you know no more sorrow [00:10:20] and may you merit to raise your children [00:10:29] there? Yes, I have to take a moment to address this interview, it [00:10:33] just breaks my heart every time anew. And thanks to the soldiers [00:10:36] who are on our borders, we can sit here in the studios [00:10:40] and talk. There are also people in the studio who have done a lot [00:10:43] of reserve duty. So we salute them for allowing us to somehow [00:10:46] continue with our routine. Yesterday, around 12 [00:10:49] noon, the fighters from Brigade 55, Battalion [00:10:52] 28, Company A, were hit by a blast that caused engineering [00:10:56] work in Majdal Zoun, within the Israeli security zone, [00:11:00] a western sector about eight kilometers from the border. They are still working there [00:11:04] and still finding a lot of Hezbollah infrastructure. For a reason [00:11:07] that is still unclear, at least not to us, the fighters entered [00:11:11] a building, a building that in hindsight turned out to be a booby-trapped [00:11:14] building, and the massive explosion there led to Major [00:11:18] (res.) Harel Birnstock and also Staff Sergeant Advanced [00:11:21] (res.) Tamir Waknin being killed immediately. Four more soldiers were [00:11:25] seriously injured. Yes, it must be said that Rambam Hospital has been treating them [00:11:29] since yesterday. Their condition is stabilizing. Yesterday there were moments [00:11:32] of great anxiety, when two apparently [00:11:35] missing, the explosion naturally led [00:11:38] to the collapse of parts of the building. There were all sorts [00:11:41] of operations there, they rescued them, they are fine. They have a long recovery [00:11:45] ahead of them, but in the end the evacuation was quick by helicopter [00:11:48] directly to Rambam, they were treated on site, they are out of danger [00:11:51] at least for now. And the IDF is investigating the incident. I think [00:11:55] that the main thing, and probably what was said here by [00:11:58] the father, Shlomo, is probably [00:12:01] the correct thing. In the end, it was probably an old [00:12:05] charge that was in the house. We don't know for sure right now, it's not [00:12:08] a violation by Hezbollah, it's [00:12:11] complicated, not a clear violation. This is [00:12:14] if they had identified terrorists arriving at the scene during the ceasefire, [00:12:18] but the charge was activated remotely. It seems it was [00:12:21] a charge that was activated either by stepping on it or was connected [00:12:25] to a door or some internal mechanism, and this incident is difficult. [00:12:29] In the end, our soldiers are in the security zone [00:12:32] in Lebanon. There are many charges there, a [00:12:35] war zone, and sometimes there are also such [00:12:38] tragedies, and of course there will be a blessing, and we here in the studio share [00:12:42] their sorrow. Thank you very much, Itai, we have [00:12:45] a bereaved father with us, good evening, hello Boaz Kukia, [00:12:49] Lieutenant Colonel (res.), you also did many days of reserve duty, also with them, [00:12:52] also Lieutenant Colonel (res.), [00:13:01] Ashkenazi, hello to you. I want to say a word to the parents, [00:13:04] to the parents I want to say, [00:13:08] that their wonderful sons, someone brought them [00:13:11] into the world, someone educated them. Clearly, these families, [00:13:14] their values, the close environment, the environment where [00:13:18] they live, it's a very supportive environment, [00:13:21] and whoever goes and becomes a combat soldier in regular service, that's [00:13:25] wonderful. Those who continue to do reserve duty, while establishing [00:13:28] a family, he is an engineer at Elbit in the defense industry. Apparently he has [00:13:31] a reason to stay in the defense industry and not [00:13:35] do reserve duty. Also this is exactly it, also this, but in any [00:13:39] case he does reserve duty, these are the kings [00:13:41] of the land, precious [00:13:44] people. We truly wish a speedy recovery [00:13:47] to the wounded. This is a glorious brigade, Brigade 55, after [00:13:51] Jerusalem, serving together with our division in [00:13:56] the region, and we need to understand [00:13:58] that this security activity has its costs, and we need [00:14:02] to understand that in southern Lebanon, in Gaza, and in Judea and Samaria, [00:14:05] there are monsters of terror [00:14:09] above ground and underground, and it's a matter of [00:14:12] time to dismantle these things, and we need patience, determination, [00:14:16] and perseverance, and to remind ourselves that there are real enemies, [00:14:20] we don't need to create fake enemies among ourselves. Political [00:14:24] rivalry is allowed, disagreements, but let's put [00:14:27] this crazy animosity with the even [00:14:31] crazier ego aside. Itamar, [00:14:34] yes, I, I join here, first of all, [00:14:37] in the condolences and also in the wishes for recovery for the wounded. There are four seriously [00:14:40] wounded. I spoke yesterday and today with commanders in this [00:14:43] sector. Overall, these are routine operations. We have seen such [00:14:47] incidents, also a very similar incident in Kafr Kila a few months ago [00:14:50] during engineering work where they stepped on a charge. A soldier was there. [00:14:54] This week we had soldiers in the Egoz unit who were wounded in a bulldozer that was attacked by a drone. [00:14:57] Therefore, I say, we don't need to nitpick about whether it was a violation or not a violation, [00:15:01] an old charge or not an old charge. [00:15:04] There is an operational incident in which soldiers were killed, and we [00:15:08] need to respond here, and there is an enemy there, there is an enemy all the time. [00:15:11] His goal is not, there is an enemy and he continues to act against us, and we here don't [00:15:15] need to do their job for them. A short [00:15:19] statement. Look, you look at the parents an hour after they buried their dearest, [00:15:22] standing here on television with such mental strength, coming [00:15:26] and speaking, and you know, speaking not out of anger, not out of any [00:15:29] comes from mental strength, you know, sometimes you [00:15:33] wonder and you say to yourself, I don't believe they are capable [00:15:36] of speaking. The enormous strength in such situations, from what [00:15:40] material must you be made of? You understand how their son was, [00:15:43] you understand how their son was, if that's the parents, then you can imagine [00:15:47] who the son is, even without knowing him, with that humor, Moshe, as [00:15:51] they say, you come to strengthen and leave strengthened, when such mothers, [00:15:54] parents, are the glory of this nation. What is there to say? There is [00:15:58] nothing to say about a victim. Yes, we said [00:16:01] Lebanon, we said Iran right under the hypocritical nose [00:16:05] of the world, the Revolutionary Guards. [00:16:07] Executing regime opponents daily, [00:16:11] women, men, young and old, [00:16:14] and regime opponents who managed to escape [00:16:17] from Iran with the help of Iranian exiles around the world, [00:16:21] smuggled out footage like no other, footage [00:16:24] that became a film that for now has only been shown [00:16:28] at private screenings and was produced by a [00:16:32] former Israeli journalist. On Saturday night [00:16:36] I will broadcast a report. Both on the film and on an interview [00:16:39] I conducted with a young man who escaped execution just [00:16:43] recently. He describes the horrific torture he underwent, [00:16:47] how he escaped from Iran. Here is a short clip from [00:16:49] the report. [00:16:56] In the film, countless footage was smuggled from Iran [00:16:59] that the world has never seen, and perhaps prefers [00:17:02] not to see. But not only footage, but also [00:17:06] testimonies from those who were smuggled out. [00:17:20] They would hang me by my feet for several hours a day, then beat me continuously with an electric prod. They even stripped me naked and sprayed me with a water hose. [00:17:24] Then they started hitting me [00:17:27] with the hose. Then [00:17:30] they wrote all over my body [00:17:34] with glass. I came [00:18:37] Also, first of all, this world is a contaminated piece of [00:18:41] hypocrisy, as we say, no Jews, no [00:18:45] news. It doesn't interest anyone. People are being slaughtered [00:18:48] there in broad daylight, with insane cruelty, [00:18:52] with nothing. They are no longer, they are not doing it in the dead of night, just [00:18:55] from the rooftops and snipers and shooting in the head at [00:18:58] people. They are simply hunting them like animals, [00:19:01] and this guy I talked to, this Iranian, through [00:19:05] an interpreter, who herself [00:19:08] is from a family of Iranian exiles, she couldn't handle the descriptions, she burst into tears. The truth [00:19:12] is, it's horrific things, [00:19:15] and that's it. It seems to me that this event got [00:19:18] stuck a bit. Unfathomable cruelty of the Iranian regime, and I don't know [00:19:22] what will happen, but this is a regime that needs to be brought down. Until [00:19:26] it falls, all the mess in the region [00:19:28] and in the world, and the axis will continue and [00:19:32] will not stop. Therefore, if we are already in a time of [00:19:35] war, we must take advantage of it to the end. Yes. Look, [00:19:39] the issue is not the regime. As you said before, the world itself. Where is the UN? [00:19:43] Where is the International Criminal Court? Where are all these great heroes, who all day long [00:19:47] you only hear them for our crimes, crimes against [00:19:50] the people. Like a mafia there. That's not. That's fine, [00:19:53] and the world was silent and nothing happened and there is no genocide and nothing [00:19:57] and everything is fine. It looks perfectly normal. Only with us we are [00:20:00] expanding, we are slaughtering babies and everything, and I tell you, as you said before, [00:20:04] it's hypocrisy. And it doesn't help us. That we don't do [00:20:08] it and they accuse us, of course, that's the [00:20:11] whole point. Exactly the point that we don't do it [00:20:14] and they do it openly in a very clear, filmed, documented [00:20:18] cold-blooded way, and the world is after it. No, this is footage that was smuggled from there. [00:20:22] Really powerful footage. On Saturday night, I will show footage like we have never seen [00:20:25] before. 100% this is, let's see, really [00:20:28] cold-blooded murder. Like a mafia, mafiosos, [00:20:32] that's the Iranian regime, unfortunately. [00:20:35] Trump simply is less interested now in this side of [00:20:38] the war. Hello Moshe, hello. Beyond the very [00:20:42] correct angle of the world's hypocrisy, we must [00:20:45] not forget that termites are eating [00:20:48] the corpse of the Iranian nation. What we are seeing here, yesterday Netanyahu spoke, [00:20:51] this week Netanyahu spoke, about the fact that 80% oppose the regime [00:20:55] and 20% support it. And he said, 20% of 91, that's still close [00:20:58] to 20 million people, but the rest are tens of millions [00:21:02] of people who hate the regime. They are willing to die, [00:21:05] and the regime will fall. They risk their lives in shootings, risk [00:21:09] their lives for this cause, and in addition [00:21:12] the economic termites are eating at it. So don't [00:21:15] get excited by every thuggish outburst from [00:21:18] Qalibaf or anyone else. [00:21:20] In the end, what we are seeing, in my opinion, is the degradation of [00:21:24] this country to a third-world country. In a historical process, it is not [00:21:28] possible to hold a people in such a way. It is not [00:21:31] possible. In the end, the economy will also defeat them, and remember that the economic [00:21:35] war, even though the bombings did not happen last week, the economic [00:21:38] war continues, the siege continues. [00:21:41] Meaning, don't just look at the loss that the Iranian regime is trying [00:21:45] to show of power. Whoever does such things is not strong. Whoever does [00:21:48] such things is afraid. With his own, it's a crazy [00:21:52] unleashing of restraint, what they did. They very, very much unleashed all restraint. They are so [00:21:55] afraid that the people will rise against them that they are sowing [00:21:59] terror there. But people still [00:22:02] dare to leave their homes and demonstrate. They are murdered [00:22:05] in broad daylight, and they do it. Every normal person's soul [00:22:08] recoils at such sights. Yes, do you want to say a word, Itamar? I say [00:22:12] to you, if we see the cruelty of this regime towards [00:22:15] its own people, I think we need to make [00:22:19] a strong argument regarding... [00:22:50] But first, hello. But still, friend. Meaning, I [00:22:53] friends. [00:22:56] You don't report. Come on, we've been in this war [00:23:00] for months, day after day after day. We were with you [00:23:04] in the difficult moments of your life. So [00:23:06] we definitely have a long [00:23:10] memory, it's not short. Hello Mazal Moalem, hello. So this [00:23:14] is a political headline coming from Gilad Erdan [00:23:17] and Edelstein. Let's hear what he said before the [00:23:21] launch of, what's his party called? It doesn't have a name yet. It doesn't [00:23:24] have a name yet. The question is, does it have a future? Let's see. We'll find out [00:23:27] in a moment. Since the Likud representatives [00:23:31] no longer represent the Likud voters [00:23:34] whom I love so much. Therefore, I [00:23:37] announce today the establishment of a new right-wing party [00:23:41] under my leadership. Right-wing people who voted [00:23:44] for the coalition and don't want to see evasion, [00:23:48] and right-wing people in the opposition. Who don't want to see a left-wing [00:23:51] government, we are your home. [00:23:55] Good, this is, [00:23:58] this is a move that is not clear to me. It seems to me that Aksol hints that there is [00:24:02] there, there is our Israel, ah our Israel, our Israel, [00:24:05] our Israel, yes, okay, I'm [00:24:08] sorry, who remembers what Israel [00:24:11] One was? [00:24:17] Together. Okay, so good. We will memorize [00:24:21] the name. This move [00:24:23] is truly not entirely clear, because first of all, does this text [00:24:27] remind you of something? It reminds me a bit of Gideon Saar when he left [00:24:30] the Likud. This is a party that [00:24:34] was formed when polls began, and he also modeled it, [00:24:37] it's four mandates or [00:24:40] less. At the launch, who [00:24:43] is the audience for it? Who said four mandates? No, I'm saying I gave it. This [00:24:47] is a poll predicting 13 yesterday. They have [00:24:50] the electoral threshold. When you start like that, it usually [00:24:54] doesn't end well. Who did he connect with? What will happen? [00:24:57] We will hear the details soon, Dedi, and he also [00:25:00] surely knows the behind-the-scenes of this event called the Third [00:25:04] Bloc. Why did all these forces not manage [00:25:07] to unite into one party? It didn't [00:25:10] happen, and they are running with several leaders. A story of [00:25:13] ego. [00:25:16] This event with Gilad Erdan is actually preparing for the [00:25:20] day after Netanyahu. I don't think he [00:25:23] the question is, [00:25:25] from within the Likud it would have been easier for him to prepare himself, [00:25:29] certainly. Also, Yuli, also Yuli [00:25:32] Edelstein, correct me, Mazal. Also Yuli [00:25:35] Edelstein and also Gilad Erdan. When it was said [00:25:38] that he would form a party, I said this party [00:25:41] will go against the Likud, and then he wrote me a WhatsApp and said [00:25:45] that I was the only one who said that, because why would [00:25:49] I? It was actually the Likud [00:25:52] who asked me to do it. I told him, "Come on, I know the behind-the-scenes." [00:25:55] God forbid, it's not that I oppose it, I'm in favor of establishing [00:25:59] the party, I'm in favor of the truth. The truth is that he [00:26:02] was very angry at Katz who was [00:26:06] supposed to make him the head of the defense industry and didn't, [00:26:10] and Netanyahu didn't fight. So [00:26:12] I, but he forgot that he got a job, a lucrative job, [00:26:16] so yes, to say that he was in contact with very prominent [00:26:20] people who talked to him until the last few days, and some told him, "Why are you [00:26:23] doing this? You will run, you will be elected [00:26:26] to a position." Yes. You will succeed, [00:26:30] you. And he told them, "Right. [00:26:33] But Bibi will throw me out, won't give me [00:26:35] a position." This is what they heard from him [00:26:39] regarding politics. You know what's most missing? Psychologists. [00:26:42] In the end, what we see here, how are they [00:26:45] different from Lieberman? They are running on the same ticket, Haredim [00:26:49] not enlisting, what I noticed, [00:26:52] and it will be interesting to see what happens next, that Netanyahu is currently out [00:26:56] of his game. He doesn't want to see Netanyahu yet, I wonder [00:26:59] when this will happen, or if it's in their [00:27:03] arsenal of tools. It's not clear to me what [00:27:06] the target is, really. This is a move [00:27:09] that when Gideon Saar came out, there were about [00:27:13] 20 mandates, there was some, it could be, look, Gideon Saar also came [00:27:17] out. In the end he joined. Okay, but there was, there was some [00:27:20] possibility, you know, there was some audience. Here they are starting [00:27:23] some move, it's not clear to me. So who else [00:27:27] is in the crumbling bloc, this divided bloc? [00:27:30] We, I understand he is doing it in two stages. In the first [00:27:34] stage, it's just to say, "Here we came out of the Likud." This is the announcement. It hurts [00:27:38] me, ah, it was a long road, really, Gilad Erdan, yes, [00:27:41] it must be said, he is one of the pillars of the Likud, you remember him, really, [00:27:45] 30 years, young Likud, etc. [00:27:47] Really, an ideological camp in the Likud. [00:27:51] And therefore I think that this is a mistake, if he really [00:27:54] looks ahead to the leadership of the national [00:27:57] camp, to the leadership of the right, how does he do it [00:28:00] at the moment of truth? It could be that he [00:28:03] will be, will be the party or a loss [00:28:06] of votes that will actually mean he won't join and he won't [00:28:09] pass the electoral threshold. So it's just a waste of his political path. It's a shame. There is [00:28:13] some gamble here that is really not clear to me. Emotional [00:28:17] things, in my opinion, are one thing. Second thing, later [00:28:20] they talk about Aliza Bloch and maybe Oren [00:28:24] Azariya, but still these are not names. Look, every [00:28:27] day there's a new name. You remember the four people [00:28:30] that Netanyahu presented yesterday? But they, excuse me, they are not [00:28:34] real, they are party functionaries. It's all [00:28:37] campaigns. I don't understand why the media publishes [00:28:41] such a thing, with all due respect. That's it, so this is, more or less, [00:28:45] the story. And we have Hendel and Tropper who are [00:28:49] leaning more towards Eisenkot. I call [00:28:52] this story "Survivor," it's like the TV show "Survivor." Who will be [00:28:55] the last one, who will survive? And yes, I also told Dedi earlier, [00:28:59] this event that had the potential for about ten [00:29:02] mandates, it got complicated, very complicated. Hello, [00:29:06] how are you? I'm fine. Yes. The truth is that [00:29:09] you were a very prominent [00:29:13] figure, and... with a very [00:29:16] high profile, and you joined Gantz who was already, Gantz, he was once [00:29:20] Eisenkot. This Eisenkot didn't deliver [00:29:24] the goods, next. Now you've joined someone who's already [00:29:28] next. I connected with the idea, I connected with the idea. [00:29:31] The idea was really to impose unity and to create [00:29:34] unity. All this third bloc, I [00:29:38] agree with every word Mazal said here. I think [00:29:42] that forming another new party was not [00:29:45] an event, and therefore connecting to an existing platform. [00:29:49] If you wait, they haven't formed yet. All parties, I think [00:29:53] another one might emerge, but everyone understands, everyone [00:29:56] understands, everyone understands that this is a mistake, and therefore we tried to make [00:29:59] connections, by the way, everyone you just surveyed here, I spoke to everyone, I spoke to [00:30:03] everyone and tried to connect. I spoke to [00:30:06] Edelstein, a lot. I spoke to [00:30:09] Gilad. What do they want? [00:30:12] Look, people understand, by the way, everyone understands, everyone [00:30:16] understands, in this gap, [00:30:19] one party needs to be formed, or one list, which can be composed [00:30:23] of several parties. Now there are ego problems here. I'll tell you what the problem is, but [00:30:26] you also have such problems, so I tell you, first of all, on a [00:30:29] personal level, I've already given up on being a number. [00:30:43] when we started to connect more people, I said I'm willing to be number four. [00:30:47] Ego is not relevant, let's make unity here and no less than [00:30:51] four. No, I agree, okay, there's a limit to what we can do, yes, a limit to what [00:30:54] we can do, and let's make connections here, and there's a game [00:30:57] of ladders and ropes here. Everyone protects [00:31:01] their ego. I think that. [00:31:15] And this will be their time, they won't understand. Uh, I'll tell you [00:31:18] why I agree. I'll tell a story without names. [00:31:22] is called first-hand, [00:31:24] from a doctor, a politician [00:31:27] who was once very senior in Israeli politics, wanted to form [00:31:31] a party again. He went to consult with a pollster [00:31:34] before he formed the party. He consulted with the pollster and asked him, [00:31:38] how many mandates will I get if I form a party? The pollster [00:31:41] did a check and told him, 10 mandates, easy. Easy. [00:31:45] Easily, and again and again, he paid the pollster for several polls, [00:31:49] and he sold him 10 mandates. On the day he formed the party, [00:31:53] the pollster presented a poll in one of the studios, [00:31:56] and he didn't pass the electoral threshold, zero mandates. [00:32:00] And indeed, in the end, he dropped out towards the end. This was Khamitz [00:32:04] for the advanced. But in short, [00:32:08] what will the polls say? The polls won't tell [00:32:11] the truth. The polls are also part of the manipulations that. [00:32:26] here in this place, and with you, a lot of experience, and in the last five or six months, [00:32:30] I've also gained experience in polls. I already [00:32:32] reached seven mandates in one [00:32:36] of the polls, even here on your channel. And now we are [00:32:39] below the electoral threshold. I say this: I am committed [00:32:42] to the idea. I am committed to the idea. I'm not. [00:33:08] says "Israel Before Everything" and he means it. And therefore, [00:33:12] I'm with him. But I think that in the end, truly, all [00:33:15] these lists need to unite into one big thing in order [00:33:19] to create unity here. And if not, we will consider [00:33:21] other ways. [00:33:24] that was at the heart of this idea, it was Dash. Dash [00:33:28] ultimately decided. She took mandates, 16 [00:33:31] mandates they brought. You can join Mansour Bass, look at [00:33:35] Segelovich, I think he's taken. Ah, yes, what's [00:33:38] your opinion on that, by the way? I know Segelovich, he's a serious guy. I [00:33:41] said I'm not familiar with anyone. [00:33:47] the Arab parties in their current configuration. I said it. [00:33:50] They were angry with me, they were mad as hell, I don't care. The fact [00:33:53] that Segelovich, Segelovich is now connecting to Mansour [00:33:57] Abbas, it doesn't now whitewash this party [00:34:00] that is still connected to the line in all the things they said. I [00:34:03] must add something to this. Not Dedi Simhi. I interviewed [00:34:07] Yossi Beilin today, and he told me he doesn't like [00:34:11] this, the move, the joining of Segelovich [00:34:14] with Ra'am. Because in the constitution or in Ra'am's [00:34:17] platform, they demand [00:34:21] to remove, to annul the right of return, and Beilin says [00:34:24] in my view, also not to annul. [00:34:28] Who demands [00:34:29] their annulment? [00:34:36] This is something else. Oh God. [00:34:40] They also want all of Palestine and also the right of return. [00:34:42] And separate. [00:34:45] Therefore he said, you are going to Segelovich, [00:34:48] demand that this thing be removed. And therefore, [00:34:52] only this is [00:34:53] what he demands be removed. [00:34:59] politics, I'd be happy to comment. Yes, please, first [00:35:02] regarding the story of Ra'am, this thought [00:35:06] came together with Segelovich's announcement about national service, but [00:35:10] with conditions by Arabs, for the Arab community [00:35:13] and under their management. [00:36:18] who grew up in a certain party home and leaves it, [00:36:22] it leaves a bad taste. I don't understand these people who leave home. You [00:36:25] have a home, there are things in it. If you think they are not right, fight, [00:36:29] stay in your home and change things. One, two, [00:36:33] wait, Mansour Abbas's segment. We, [00:36:36] I and our forum, we are still looking, the "Choosing Life" forum, [00:36:40] we are looking at him. This is a party [00:36:44] that encourages Arab separatism, wants to achieve [00:36:47] an independent state here at the expense of the state of Israel in the long run, [00:36:50] and their way of doing that is by trickery, by infiltrating [00:36:54] our institutions, bringing in Segelovich, bringing in someone like that. [00:36:57] Someone else. This is not, the Arab parties are not all the Arab voters, they are only [00:37:01] ten mandates. There are many Arab voters. I know Bedouins who vote [00:37:05] for Jewish Zionist parties, and this should be [00:37:08] our motto in society. I want to say something about the voters and not just about [00:37:11] the parties. I say we are a country, in the end, we understand what happens [00:37:15] with all these small parties, in the end they connect, and they ultimately determine [00:37:18] the policy that exists, and then we all have complaints about why these are like this and why these [00:37:22] are like that, yes, and why these are slaughtering, and I say we, the voters, by our own [00:37:25] hands, cause the flight. to look like this and in the end [00:37:29] and in the end, they blame that small party, no matter who it is, [00:37:32] which will ultimately decide what our future will be in the state of Israel. So maybe the voters [00:37:36] will wake up once and decide not to give to small [00:37:55] a watershed. I connect to the of the system, the [00:37:59] current election system, because it is so significant, it is very [00:38:02] significant, and this will be, uh, will [00:38:05] you ultimately compromise on this issue, [00:38:08] Haredim who do not enlist, or [00:38:12] a government. I want to propose [00:38:15] another alternative. I don't want to live according to what dictates [00:38:19] my thoughts. I want to think [00:38:22] that a unity government should be formed here. [00:38:24] Good, they tried to do it. [00:38:45] I think what both of you said just now is the point. The idea was to create a list that would compel, enforce, [00:38:49] that's the word, enforce unity. I'm not giving up on hard [00:38:52] work. We're talking to more people, even with the existing parties now, we're [00:38:56] talking and people are. Right and left in their [00:38:59] opinions. [00:39:03] People, what, I even talk to Aled Shaked, who also talks to many [00:39:06] people, and, it's unpleasant to say, she's also no longer, [00:39:09] I'm not, this is one of the strange things that happened [00:39:12] here, that no new figures entered, except for you [00:39:16] and a few others. This is a burden. I just want to say one thing: I intend [00:39:19] to influence in any case, in any case. I'm not [00:39:22] going to let everything that happened here at the end, all [00:39:25] the children. [00:39:49] After less than a minute, he was removed from there in disgrace, to [00:39:53] boos. Even his forced smile couldn't hide his embarrassment. disgrace. [00:40:22] ladies and gentlemen are you ready for some more [00:40:24] dancing oh [00:40:29] Okay, he is the mayor, he has supporters, [00:40:32] but there's a big wave [00:40:36] now in the United States, a wave [00:40:38] of disillusionment, including following yesterday's events [00:40:41] in Michigan, where he won by only 1500 votes, on this side, [00:40:45] he defeated his other rival, also [00:40:49] from the Democratic Party, and they even say [00:40:52] that Democrats will vote for the Republican candidate in the competition [00:40:56] that will be there in the end. A word about America, America following [00:40:59] Europe, America is deteriorating, how [00:41:02] from Madani, that was the beginning, and we saw how everyone praised and lifted and raised [00:41:06] their hands and clapped everyone, shameless. He [00:41:09] was, he did his part, and he took the stage, yes, also [00:41:13] Jews, mainly Jews, by the way, which, if anything makes me more [00:41:16] sad, it's Jews who live there, it's more saddening [00:41:19] than Americans themselves, by the way, that our brothers [00:41:22] vote for such an antisemite. Tell me, do you sometimes listen to Bernie [00:41:26] Sanders? I feel [00:41:28] like he's our brother. [00:41:33] Israel. I hope, I don't know. That there's [00:41:37] also some reaction to some kind of difficulty. [00:41:40] who left New York, went to Miami, went to Miami, [00:41:44] because of Madani. There was also an event, [00:41:47] of the Seven Twins who told him they didn't [00:41:50] want him to, yes, what an event, a petition of tens [00:41:54] of thousands warning him not to come to speak [00:41:56] on September 11. It's unpleasant to say, yes, it's pleasant to say, [00:42:00] as someone who, you know, is built, it's [00:42:04] networks, in today's networks you can be built as some kind of figure, [00:42:07] today we are in the era of lies. You don't [00:42:11] really need to do things, you make a video and you [00:42:14] say you did things, you become a star. Today, [00:42:18] they're stuck with him now, they're stuck with him. What will he do, when the Prime Minister [00:42:21] comes to New York? He asked, there's no [00:42:25] legal ability. Also, the thing that truly [00:42:28] stresses me out, and I assume not just me, is that Jews [00:42:32] are becoming targets. It won't be long [00:42:35] until there's some, 10% of hate [00:42:39] crimes. [00:42:41] To everyone who is planning and leaving Israel, consider [00:42:45] that Jews in Europe and the United States are persecuted [00:42:48] today, unfortunately. Later in the broadcast, we have a very special interview with [00:42:52] someone who went through a serious fight abroad. The event he was expelled from [00:42:56] in Staten Island is a traditional event that has been happening for over 40 years [00:42:59] in the United States. Everyone comes out, it's called "National Night Out." They sit for [00:43:03] the rule of law. Now, this is a man who came out with "Defund the Police," [00:43:07] stop funding the police in 2020. And he came to Staten [00:43:10] Island. Out of the five boroughs of New York, this is the only borough where he completely lost [00:43:14] the election, he only had 25% support. And he came [00:43:18] there on this day when people come to strengthen the police forces, to praise [00:43:22] the action against crime. And he, who spoke so much [00:43:25] against it, comes to his toughest borough, and is booed [00:43:28] and humiliated. His situation is deteriorating. We see [00:43:32] his mask has been removed. He [00:43:35] is a Madani supporter. Look, he identifies with Hamas, he identifies with [00:43:38] the struggle of terror. [00:44:11] Our identification with one side of the political map [00:44:17] and the almost automatic opposition of the other side, which was not the case in the past, is going [00:44:20] to be a big challenge. It always was, always. [00:44:23] Today it was once the Republicans against us and the Democrats [00:44:27] for us. The Republicans were conservatives. I was a political [00:44:31] correspondent for many years. There always was such a thing. There was Obama, there [00:44:34] was Clinton. There were these, there were others. [00:44:38] All that everyone, this is America. [00:44:41] There are wonderful and sane people in the Democrats, and there [00:44:45] is a new kind of Democrat who understood that even if he's not [00:44:48] like that, he wants to join the power [00:44:52] base, the voter base. In [00:44:55] Michigan, you'll see what happens in the city of Dearborn, you'll be shocked. But [00:44:59] you're right, America is changing. But what's happening here with us, because [00:45:03] of the division and the political split, there [00:45:06] are those who basically have self-incrimination, which is why. In Israel, [00:45:17] there is no foreign policy, there is only domestic policy. This is part of it. Let's trash Israel, [00:45:21] as long as we win here, and after us, the deluge. [00:45:24] This week, Yitzik Zuarz published a video of a couple with their three [00:45:28] children looting stores in Eilat, a video that caused a big [00:45:32] stir online. Today, it turns out that the couple has a history [00:45:40] Hello, hello, Ayela, the strange couple. Let's watch the [00:45:43] footage together and describe the incident from the report you already [00:45:47] broadcast in the news, about Eilat. Let's see, here's their journey [00:45:50] in Eilat, and it started exactly a month ago [00:45:54] at the Itay Baranes store in the Eilat Mall. Eliran [00:45:57] is seen here holding clothes he collected in the store. He walks around, [00:46:01] observes, and waits for the moment when the saleswoman turns her [00:46:04] gaze away. Then he quickly puts the clothes into the bag that was on the baby carrier [00:46:08] and leaves. [00:46:12] Yes, they're doing some serious shopping there, they just forget [00:46:16] to pay, and... as they say, they were caught [00:46:19] and documented. And what new information do you have for us today? [00:46:23] Yes, look, absolutely. First of all, we broadcast the, we exposed these footages at the beginning [00:46:27] of the week. Their journey, we broadcast a long report of five minutes, only from one [00:46:31] day, out of their week in Eilat. They stole a total [00:46:34] of products worth 100,000 shekels. And following this broadcast, [00:46:38] Ayela, millions of views online. And also inquiries received [00:46:41] by the system from additional victims of this couple, Eliran [00:46:45] and Sivan Buchman. One of the people who contact [00:46:48] us also sends us security camera footage. Tonight, [00:46:52] we will broadcast it. These two with their children came [00:46:56] to his store two and a half years ago, to his gadget [00:47:00] store in Hadera, and stole electrical products [00:47:03] and gadgets from there. All the footage at 8 [00:47:06] in the news. In the past, 20 indictments were filed [00:47:09] against them. Last week, another 15 were filed against them. [00:47:13] These people are not deterred by anything. Come see a clip from the report [00:47:17] we will broadcast tonight, please. You know, I bought [00:47:21] some games last week. [00:47:26] In the evening, he and his two children [00:47:29] and his wife, and they started bothering the [00:47:31] salesman. He came with a bag, he always comes with a bag like that, a padded [00:47:35] bag with metals, so even if there were [00:47:38] buzzers, it wouldn't beep. And he puts it on his shoulder, and then he goes [00:47:42] looking for an angle where there's no field of view, takes down [00:47:45] the product first, puts it on the shelf, [00:47:49] and he looks, and then he sends his wife to distract the salesman and the [00:47:52] children, and puts it in the bag and leaves [00:47:55] just like that. [00:47:58] What, you know what hurts me in this whole incident is that they took [00:48:01] their children. These children shouldn't be [00:48:05] involved there. You want to steal, that's your [00:48:08] way. Why are you crying with the children, for God's sake? What about the name? [00:48:12] Exactly, Ayela. Look, that's why millions of people watched these videos, [00:48:16] not just because they put some clothes in a bag, but because of the truly [00:48:20] cynical use, the exploitation of the children. Yes, who [00:48:23] would suspect a family with children? Yes, Itzik Zohar, the full footage [00:48:27] in the news right after us. Thank you very much. [00:48:31] Thank you, Itzik. Thank you. Retired Commissioner, Exol, [00:48:35] ostensibly, it's not some great crime that the police. [00:48:39] Documented, filmed, boom, bang. There's nothing even to admit, it's [00:48:42] all filmed. No, I'll tell you what the problem is, this offense is theft. The [00:48:46] offense of theft in the penal code, one of the lighter offenses, is up to three years [00:48:49] imprisonment. If he gets, you know what? About two months [00:48:53] suspended, we'll all be happy, but more serious is the damage caused to businessmen. [00:48:57] We don't take them into account. You know that not only here [00:49:01] are there thefts of alcohol from supermarkets. Imagine now everyone [00:49:05] just stealing three such bottles of whiskey worth, let's say, do the [00:49:08] math yourself, how many such cycles for several thousand shekels do they do, [00:49:12] and everyone will calculate for themselves the damage to the business. [00:49:15] Friends, what can I tell you? Thefts [00:49:18] have happened and will happen, unfortunately. [00:49:22] affected by the children in this matter. Thank you very much. [00:49:25] Thank you. After completing combat service in the paratroopers, [00:49:29] Uriya went on a trip to the East. A hostile Spanish tourist, [00:49:32] larger than him, realizing that he was Israeli, [00:49:35] attacked him. But Uriya showed him what he was made of, and, to put it [00:49:39] mildly, subdued him with a few blows. The video of the fight [00:49:43] between the two went viral. Let's watch a short clip and immediately get to [00:49:46] Uriya. [00:49:52] Tell [00:50:16] me what that scoundrel wanted from you, because he understood that you [00:50:18] are Israeli. Yes, he had a little. [00:50:22] Israelis and apparently we solved them, I think, yes, okay, so he attacks you and you return the favor twofold. The local police, you are in the Philippines, [00:50:30] encounter with [00:50:34] arrive at the scene and what happens? Yes. [00:50:38] So the police arrive at the scene and understand very quickly [00:50:42] what happened there. [00:50:44] They load him onto the pickup truck, take him to the police station [00:50:47] and tell me to accompany them to the confrontation to explain [00:50:51] what happened there. [00:50:54] No need to say that at that moment I'm still on adrenaline, stressed, I don't really [00:50:57] understand what's happening and [00:51:01] and we're sitting like that at a table and a policeman just comes and bangs on the table [00:51:04] and shouts at me, "Who are you really? Who are you to fight here [00:51:08] in my country? This is not your place!" And I at that moment don't understand what's [00:51:11] happening and so I explain to him for five minutes that I just [00:51:14] went into the bathroom and he identified me as a target [00:51:17] as a Jew. [00:51:20] And so he also had five minutes after [00:51:32] that he was released. [00:51:35] I broke my finger and so after that I returned to the police [00:51:38] station and the police decided that there would be a public apology [00:51:42] and compensation. Like, I demanded it and they [00:51:45] agreed. So, what compensation [00:51:48] did you receive? [00:51:51] Money. Okay, tell me, were [00:51:54] you alone? [00:51:57] Uh, at that moment I was alone, but right after the incident, so [00:52:01] a second after I left him, so I drove to our villa, to the apartment. [00:52:06] And friends who were playing cards exactly then, so I called everyone [00:52:08] and everyone came, we went back there and so we held him until [00:52:12] the police arrived. He really begged me, like [00:52:16] he said, "I'm sorry, just let me go from here." And I said, "There's no way." [00:52:20] What happened to him? He thought you were so thin [00:52:24] and he was so muscular. What do [00:52:26] you do? Is this from the army or did you learn, what's it called, [00:52:30] Krav Maga or something? [00:52:33] So no, I did a little MMA, Thai [00:52:37] boxing, self-defense with my brothers when I was [00:52:41] young. They beat me up a little at home, I beat them up. [00:52:43] As they say, life prepared you for this event. [00:52:45] Were you scared? Yes. [00:52:49] If I was scared at that moment, let's just say that when you believe [00:52:52] that you are strong in your Jewish spirit, that you know that [00:52:56] you will finish him, no matter what happens, then he [00:53:00] just, let's say, gave the reason for it [00:53:03] to end like this. Yes, good. He won't mess with Israelis anymore. [00:53:07] Uriya, well done. As they say, they messed [00:53:10] with you, you didn't choose this, and you gave him back twice as much. Well [00:53:14] done, thank you very much for being here, absolutely, with [00:53:36] Fine, I got 720. Great, [00:53:38] sweetie. 720? [00:53:42] Champions. Mom, this is not, 720. Yali, he's not [00:53:46] like everyone else. Yali, well done. Mom told me, you're going [00:53:49] to 8200. 720, [00:53:53] 720, [00:53:55] 720. [00:53:58] You might be a little confused. 720 is the Ministry of Education's new program [00:54:01] for personalized learning, with the help of artificial intelligence. In the coming year, [00:54:05] 7th and 8th graders will learn English in a system specifically developed [00:54:08] for us. This will also happen in science and mathematics. The State of Israel [00:54:11] is a world leader in integrating artificial intelligence in the education system. [00:54:15] Program 720 presents a new approach to personalized learning and teaching. [00:54:19] Students learn at their own pace, and teachers have more time for individual [00:54:22] attention. 360 for students, 360 [00:54:25] for teachers. Program 720 leads Israel to [00:54:28] reality. So Yali didn't get 720. Much better than that. My champion. [00:54:32] My champion. [00:54:35] Tell me, are you coming to the north now? Especially now, come. [00:54:38] Will I come to the north now? This is an opportunity. This is Zionism. An opportunity. [00:54:42] Of course it's Zionism. [00:54:45] Wonderful, an opportunity.
