[00:00:26] from speaking loudly about the issue of immigration, even closing its eyes.
[00:00:30] And it was also ashamed to be portrayed as not awake. Those who led
[00:00:33] vocal opposition to the waves of immigration and the price that society
[00:00:36] pays, were considered dark, extreme, and ostracized
[00:00:40] loudly. Chancellor Merkel opened Germany's gates,
[00:00:43] and thus all of Europe became obligated. Now there is almost
[00:00:47] an agreement that the marriage failed. From the perspective of the immigrants
[00:00:50] who took over, the marriage actually succeeded. It is clear that among
[00:00:53] the immigrants there are those who integrated, who found education, livelihood
[00:00:57] and more. But there are many, masses who want to dictate their culture,
[00:01:00] to dictate their religion. The events in Spain
[00:01:03] from last week were a trigger, they are already causing a crisis between Italy
[00:01:07] and Spain. America is also dealing with
[00:01:10] this conflict, from politicians in New York, Abdul Said from Michigan,
[00:01:13] whose statements express extremism. Both,
[00:01:17] one is an immigrant, the other is a son of immigrants. An example
[00:01:20] of those who succeeded, but want to take over America.
[00:01:23] The trend is cultural takeover and religious takeover and not integration
[00:01:27] within their Western societies. A gun
[00:01:34] that was placed on the table in the first act and was not dealt with
[00:01:37] fired in the third act, the clash
[00:01:40] of civilizations, we are also in the crosshairs. Now for the breaking
[00:01:44] news this Shabbat, tonight in the Shabbat
[00:01:47] news,
[00:01:51] the Hormuz battle,
[00:01:54] in Iran these days, the Strait will open only when America accepts
[00:01:58] its terms.
[00:02:03] as it was. An armored infantry battalion
[00:02:26] another matter for
[00:02:31] One of the survivors who was in an Iranian prison during the war
[00:02:35] is also hiding in Europe. Pulling
[00:02:38] hair. After that, they would also beat
[00:02:41] them.
[00:02:42] They wrote.
[00:02:46] Hezbollah continues to intimidate opponents of the terrorist organization and tries
[00:02:49] to thwart peace talks. Immediately, a special interview with a Hezbollah
[00:02:53] opponent who fled Lebanon and explains why Hezbollah is
[00:02:57] an enemy also of the Lebanese. Who are waiting
[00:03:05] uh and he
[00:04:12] but that doesn't mean there aren't behind the scenes, contradictory
[00:04:15] efforts on the issue. There are those who are trying to lower the level
[00:04:18] of flames and reach an agreement, and there are those who are acting exactly
[00:04:21] the opposite. One thing is certain, the Iranian
[00:04:24] terror regime not only did not slow down against its citizens, those
[00:04:28] who oppose it these days.
[00:04:50] at the border, you are targeted
[00:05:01] liberty during a few hours, to my right and to my left,
[00:05:04] young people who had fallen to the ground, it was the sniper shots that were firing at these
[00:05:08] young people.
[00:05:14] The forces of suppression arrived there in hospitals
[00:05:17] to search for the wounded and also
[00:05:20] to kill the doctors who treated the wounded to tell
[00:05:24] them that there is actually
[00:05:27] no room
[00:05:29] for clemency, no room
[00:05:32] with the demonstrators.
[00:05:43] people demonstrate and start to want to leave the bazaar and they
[00:05:47] shoot at them with heavy machine guns to make them go back
[00:05:50] inside and they set the bazaar
[00:05:52] on fire,
[00:05:59] I run into a girl who was there looking
[00:06:03] into space so I ask her what's wrong with you and
[00:06:06] then she says I don't know if my parents are among
[00:06:09] the corpses that are lying on the ground. to try also
[00:06:12] to make
[00:06:22] money and also smuggle it. Roy Kiss, you are telling us an amazing
[00:06:25] story that they are focusing on smuggling
[00:06:28] crypto currencies. Correct. We can report this evening
[00:06:32] that recently, those in the Iranian leadership are increasing their use
[00:06:36] of digital currencies as a central means to smuggle foreign currency
[00:06:39] out of Iran. This smuggling mechanism is based primarily
[00:06:43] on a currency that allows significant sums of money to be converted into liquid
[00:06:46] dollars and transferred globally without supervision. The expansion of this phenomenon, it must
[00:06:50] be said, relies on the very developed crypto infrastructure in Iran. This
[00:06:54] includes Bitcoin mining on a large scale and the use of the system by
[00:06:58] the Iranian Central Bank. The crypto channel has become a central
[00:07:01] channel in the economic activity of the Revolutionary Guard in recent years. Now
[00:07:05] look, what's the story? This is actually a concentrated Iranian effort
[00:07:09] to circumvent Western sanctions. Wait, excuse me.
[00:07:17] To circumvent Western sanctions, also yes, they want to keep money outside
[00:07:20] of Iran for a rainy day and also they want to make
[00:07:24] deals that they cannot make from inside Iran, for example
[00:07:27] to purchase components from various countries for military build-up. These
[00:07:31] days, it is important to say, an international effort is underway to curb this use. Recently,
[00:07:35] dozens of crypto wallets belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guard were seized, and note
[00:07:39] the timing: just yesterday, the US Treasury Department imposed new sanctions,
[00:07:42] this time on Iran's shadow banking system and also on
[00:07:46] the release of crypto currencies related to Iran, including two shell companies located in Dubai
[00:07:49] in the UAE. This means that elements within the Revolutionary
[00:07:53] Guard are smuggling to banks that specifically
[00:07:55] for them, for themselves the thieves, what
[00:07:58] are called
[00:08:00] and also to make the total I think the Iranians are also teaching
[00:08:04] other countries how to do this. It is known, by the way,
[00:08:07] that all the trade of Iran, Hezbollah
[00:08:10] and Venezuela was carried out almost entirely through crypto. That is, in recent
[00:08:14] years it has become the central way,
[00:08:25] to the basic insight that if this regime remains
[00:08:28] in power, it will have a secret plan,
[00:08:32] a secret green plan, it will find the vacuum how
[00:08:36] to pay, how to buy. Here's an example, by the way, they
[00:08:40] are champions in this regard, it's not just them, it's also. The terrorists
[00:08:43] in Syria, it's also terrorists, it's also Hezbollah in Lebanon.
[00:08:47] The world of terror always knows, no matter how excellent
[00:08:50] the intelligence agencies, Mossad, the Americans
[00:08:53] will be on them, they will find a way, that short path,
[00:08:56] to realize their ambitions. And therefore, strategically, I hope that at the end
[00:09:10] Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, arrived in Israel
[00:09:13] for meetings with senior IDF officials. An interesting ultra-news
[00:09:16] given the background, yes, especially
[00:09:19] the timing. The timing is interesting. The commander of the American Central Command, Admiral Brad
[00:09:23] Cooper, landed this afternoon in Israel. He is expected to meet with
[00:09:27] the Chief of Staff, Amir, and senior IDF officials for what is called
[00:09:30] a multi-arena situation assessment. It should be said that Cooper is arriving
[00:09:33] in Israel after meetings he held in Bahrain and the United
[00:09:37] Arab Emirates, against the backdrop of rumors that the agreement, or at least
[00:09:41] the contacts between the United States and Iran, will collapse, although we heard
[00:09:44] today rather optimistic statements from like us knows
[00:09:48] vice president about a possible rapprochement towards
[00:09:51] perhaps a new agreement. The Americans, it should be said,
[00:09:54] maintain a high level of alert in the Middle East, including in Israel. In the country,
[00:09:58] dozens of refueling planes, fighter jets, air defense
[00:10:01] systems, and thousands of American soldiers are still stationed. Cooper is also expected
[00:10:05] to visit them. Another issue that is expected to be raised in the discussions is the Gaza
[00:10:08] Strip. There is American pressure on Israel to start the next stage.
[00:10:13] A step that the Peace Council only this week announced progress in talks with
[00:10:16] Hamas, and the cabinet will have to decide and also
[00:10:20] set timetables, at least for now, the Americans are demanding
[00:10:24] an Israeli withdrawal, of one kind or another, from the Gaza
[00:10:27] Strip, from the yellow line, subject, of course,
[00:10:29] to the dismantling of Hamas from women. Correct.
[00:10:32] Dismantling can be gradual. In Israel, we presented here last week
[00:10:35] guidelines, but the American patronage is also felt
[00:10:39] in Iran, also in Gaza, also in Lebanon, and the American
[00:10:42] official landed in Israel. We will only note
[00:10:45] that General Cooper, commander of the Air Force, commander of CENTCOM, commander
[00:10:49] of the American Central Command, supports an attack on
[00:10:52] Iran, in contrast to the American Chief of Staff who is exactly
[00:10:55] the opposite. There is what is called an internal American debate,
[00:10:59] an internal American disagreement on this issue. More on American
[00:11:02] pressure on Iran and the battle for Hormuz in Yoav
[00:11:05] Zehavi's report.
[00:11:09] While the status quo in the Gulf continues, behind the scenes
[00:11:11] in Washington, the military leadership is beginning to signal red lines to President Trump.
[00:11:15] area.
[00:12:03] A sword of support from the US Central Command and backing from Israel. Sources in the US
[00:12:06] security establishment believe that the general's goal is to protect
[00:12:10] the US military from entanglement in the Iranian quagmire. On the other hand, President
[00:12:14] Trump continues to project an image of victory and claims that the military
[00:12:17] actions brought the Iranians to the negotiating table.
[00:12:19] table.
[00:12:24] they want to settle so badly they don't like what we're doing and they do want to settle.
[00:12:28] The most tense arena continues to be the Strait of Hormuz. Regional sources reported
[00:12:31] over the weekend that agreements were reached between Iran and Oman for the opening
[00:12:35] of the Strait. According to the details, control of the Strait will de facto
[00:12:39] remain in Iranian hands, which will control the entry route to the Persian
[00:12:42] Gulf. This is in contrast to the situation before the war. However,
[00:12:46] it is still unclear exactly when the Strait will open. Reopening
[00:12:49] the Strait of Hormuz has its own special mechanism
[00:12:53] and has no connection to the negotiations between Iran and Oman.
[00:12:57] The Strait of Hormuz, as in the opening
[00:13:01] of the Strait of Hormuz, is in fact subject
[00:13:04] to the conditions that the Islamic Republic will
[00:13:07] open it based on those conditions, and
[00:13:11] that also depends on the extent
[00:13:14] of America's acceptance of the conditions that the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:13:18] sets. For now, it seems that Iran, at least outwardly,
[00:13:22] conditions the opening of the Strait on the acceptance of all its terms.
[00:13:25] While simultaneously, the supreme commander of the American army warns that
[00:13:28] military force has exhausted itself, the Middle East is once again at a crossroads.
[00:13:32] Will the negotiations lead to a stable ceasefire or
[00:13:35] will the attempt to find a way out only escalate
[00:13:39] the campaign? A day after the signing of the triple
[00:13:42] defense alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan,
[00:13:46] the three countries are trying to reassure that their alliance is not directed
[00:13:49] at anyone in the region, but in Kuwait the statements are completely
[00:13:52] different. First of all, let's say the following: all
[00:13:56] countries are trying to close ranks due to the whole story of
[00:14:00] Iran, the confrontation with Iran, with its proxies, with an emphasis on the Gulf
[00:14:03] states. We are seeing renewed alignments, this is the main catalyst. Now
[00:14:07] look, before this agreement, the triple defense alliance, between
[00:14:10] Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, we saw in recent days news that went under
[00:14:14] the radar, a defense alliance between Kuwait and nuclear
[00:14:17] Pakistan. That same Kuwait that became one of the most targeted
[00:14:21] by Iran in the last round of confrontation. And a Kuwaiti source close
[00:14:24] to the system tells me this: Pay attention, all these alliances are directed towards
[00:14:28] Iran and not others, against Iran, against Iran, yes, because
[00:14:31] countries that are numerically inferior,
[00:14:35] protect them from it. He says these alliances are not directed at Israel, because unlike
[00:14:38] Iran, it did not attack Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. And yet, it is important to say, a few
[00:14:42] months ago, you remember, we diagnosed with you, this was before the war, that the Saudis are trying
[00:14:46] to build an alternative axis of Muslim countries that will serve
[00:14:49] as a counter to the moderate axis. This is against the backdrop of their conflict with
[00:14:53] the Emirates, which has calmed down, and also.
[00:14:58] It was mentioned there, and we will remind you that despite the defense alliance that Saudi Arabia signed
[00:15:02] bilaterally with nuclear Pakistan
[00:15:05] last September, the Pakistanis did not do much when the Iranians
[00:15:09] and their proxies attacked. But the most interesting thing of all you said is about Kuwait.
[00:15:12] Yes, the Kuwaitis say it clearly, a senior Kuwaiti official tells
[00:15:16] you. Kuwait is a country, not Israel, but still
[00:15:19] there are still those behind the scenes who speak
[00:15:23] openly about it being against Iran, because
[00:15:37] Yes, this is the name of the triple alliance, it pulls the rug
[00:15:40] out from under Iran's feet through Muslim support here. We will wait
[00:15:44] and see. Interesting, interesting.
[00:15:46] The Iranians made several strategic mistakes during
[00:15:50] the war. One was to shoot at us, the second was to shoot at the Gulf states,
[00:15:53] and to shoot in all directions. This creates for the State of Israel a strategic
[00:15:57] opportunity that will not return for the formation
[00:16:00] of alliances. I estimate that in the first stage they will be secret, after that they will come to the surface,
[00:16:04] because since the Muslim countries, Saudi Arabia
[00:16:10] and the countries that Roy mentioned, understand very well
[00:16:14] today, in my opinion, two central insights. One
[00:16:17] is that the Americans do not necessarily always deliver
[00:16:20] the goods, and the second insight is that Israel
[00:16:23] delivers the goods, because they saw an aggressive Israel, they saw an attacking
[00:16:27] Israel, they saw Israel with immense
[00:16:29] military technological capabilities,
[00:16:32] and this is a language they understand. And therefore, I think
[00:16:36] it would be right, I am sure that here on our side they are dealing
[00:16:39] with this issue, the Mossad is very busy with this issue, because these are secret
[00:16:43] alliances at first. The inclusion of Turkey is due to
[00:16:46] the weakness of the event, but we also need to deal with that later. Turkey
[00:16:50] is also in a conflict of interests. I will give a different perspective, we somehow
[00:16:54] forgot about this enemy, we somehow forgot about the Houthis,
[00:16:57] and the Houthis are bypassing the Saudis frequently.
[00:17:00] And it will be very interesting, it will be very
[00:17:04] interesting to see what happens now with this new alliance. Turkey
[00:17:07] and Pakistan, which are committed to Saudi Arabia, what will happen with
[00:17:10] the Houthis? And it could be that there is a very, very big gain for the State of Israel in this matter.
[00:17:14] Because it must be said that both the Houthis and the militias in Iraq have targeted
[00:17:18] the entire Saudi oil industry. That's the story, and they don't do
[00:17:22] it, you know, in a vacuum, there's someone pulling the strings. Someone is operating
[00:17:25] them. They are the proxy, that is the Iranian
[00:17:28] goal, but Iran operates the Houthis and wants to. In this
[00:17:32] context, in this context, look, the Houthis often have their local interests, in this context
[00:17:35] the interests actually coincide. In this context, both the Houthis and the militias
[00:17:39] in Iraq, good. During the ceasefire,
[00:17:42] Hezbollah launched yesterday an explosive drone towards IDF
[00:17:46] forces operating in the Eli-Tar Ridge area. Itay Blumental, you are bringing
[00:17:49] us new details about this launch.
[00:17:53] Correct. First of all, let's say that after this drone, which did not explode and did not hit
[00:17:57] and there were no casualties and no damage was caused, the IDF did not respond and no statement
[00:18:00] was issued telling what happened. This evening we are publishing
[00:18:03] that the IDF estimates that the same drone was launched as part of an attempt by
[00:18:07] Hezbollah to assist those terrorists who are besieged underground
[00:18:11] inside the tunnel under the Eli-Tar Ridge north
[00:18:14] of Beaufort. Those terrorists have been trying to escape
[00:18:18] in recent days. Last week, the IDF identified a number of terrorists who tried
[00:18:21] to escape, some of them were eliminated, some managed to return to those
[00:18:25] tunnels, and according to estimates, there are still about 15 terrorists
[00:18:28] in the compound. A senior IDF official informed us that the army
[00:18:32] would like to neutralize the compound, eliminate all the terrorists located
[00:18:36] inside it. The last place within the Israeli
[00:18:39] security zone where there are still certainly
[00:18:42] terrorists. But there are restrictions, restrictions from the American
[00:18:45] administration, restrictions from the political echelon. There is currently
[00:18:48] an instruction to the forces there not to carry out activities considered offensive,
[00:18:52] they are trying to maintain the situation and the reality on the ground. There are
[00:18:56] terrorists on the Eli-Tar Ridge, currently they are refraining from carrying out
[00:18:59] offensive activities. Okay, thank you, Itay. Hezbollah continues to intimidate
[00:19:03] opponents of the terrorist organization who are not
[00:19:06] afraid to talk about peace with Israel. One of them
[00:19:10] is the Lebanese political activist and researcher Charles Chartouni,
[00:19:14] who less than two years ago was forced to flee Lebanon where an arrest
[00:19:17] warrant was issued against him due to the fact that he openly opposed
[00:19:20] Hezbollah. In a conversation from the United States, he explains why
[00:19:23] Hezbollah is an enemy of the Lebanese and of
[00:19:26] Israel. The report by Guy Maayan and Roy
[00:19:29] Kees. in the United States because
[00:19:33] I can't go back to Lebanon because he told me.
[00:19:35] اياها.
[00:19:40] The Lebanese Christian activist and researcher Charles Chartouni was
[00:19:43] one of the loudest voices in recent years in Lebanon against
[00:19:46] Hezbollah's hegemony. However, like others like him, he paid
[00:19:50] the price for his brave stances and was forced
[00:19:53] to flee the clutches of the Lebanese judicial system.
[00:20:07] openly I am with peace with the state
[00:20:11] of Israel and we are done. Do you think Lebanon should not sign peace with
[00:20:14] Israel? Of course we are in the process
[00:20:18] of the new Middle East, which is signing peace. Of course,
[00:20:22] to know, they told me, Charles, don't you dare come, beware of coming because
[00:20:28] at the border, either they will throw you in prison. Israel is
[00:20:31] the enemy and not
[00:20:33] the resistance. In his place of exile in the United States, where he has been for almost
[00:20:37] two years, he talks to us, trying to explain to us that he does not represent
[00:20:41] only himself, but many others in the land of cedars who are fed up
[00:20:45] with Hezbollah. Dr. Chartouni, how are you?
[00:20:48] Many Lebanese have this orientation,
[00:20:52] but they do not dare to say it. However,
[00:20:55] there is now a growing trend, especially
[00:20:59] among Christians and even among
[00:21:02] Muslims. The reason is very simple: people are no longer
[00:21:05] willing to be victims of Hezbollah's
[00:21:09] policy. Where have you taken the country? You have ruined our homes,
[00:21:12] ruined the country's future. This failure and
[00:21:15] this process of entanglement that Hezbollah
[00:21:19] has led to.
[00:21:50] to drag the country into a civil
[00:21:52] war,
[00:21:55] you know, and this story has no end. He will
[00:21:58] not disarm to achieve
[00:22:02] Israel's goal, even if the whole world
[00:22:05] unites in war. The current leadership in Beirut
[00:22:09] receives quite a lot of praise from the West for its attempts to curb
[00:22:12] Hezbollah's actions. The immediate ban on all
[00:22:16] Hezbollah security and military activities, considering them outside
[00:22:20] the law,
[00:22:23] and obligating them to hand over their weapons to the Lebanese state.
[00:22:26] Through Chartouni, Sebou, as if the government had been in power
[00:22:30] for 15 months, the Lebanese government did nothing.
[00:22:34] It did nothing. The Lebanese government,
[00:22:36] on the contrary, lied. I mean, the army commander
[00:22:40] came and gave reports to the Council of Ministers, and these were misleading
[00:22:43] reports, they were not true reports. He told them that the situation
[00:22:47] in the south was over and the situation in the south
[00:22:50] is still
[00:22:53] complained about the western side of the coast,
[00:22:56] Naqoura, to reach
[00:22:59] the villages. The deployment of the battalion is about 20
[00:23:02] kilometers.
[00:23:06] So if you can put an end to it in negotiations,
[00:23:09] then fine. If you can't put an end
[00:23:13] to it in negotiations, then it becomes
[00:23:16] the political authority to decide on Hezbollah.
[00:23:47] extremist wants to impose. And to the people
[00:24:21] of Israel and to the state of Israel, and there is nothing but
[00:24:24] peace among people
[00:24:27] and humans. This is a much better solution than
[00:24:30] "kill me and I'll kill you," "humiliate me and I'll humiliate you,"
[00:24:33] and so on and so forth. It seems that in the Arab region, they only understand
[00:24:36] this logic. This is my last wish,
[00:24:40] and perhaps the word peace will be the final word.
[00:24:44] But between wishes and reality, there is
[00:24:48] a lot.
[00:25:03] Indeed, a nice achievement of yours and Guy's, and what a brave man, right?
[00:25:06] Look, there are others like him, he's not the only one. But I'll tell you what the problem is,
[00:25:10] I think the big story is that in recent days we marked in Lebanon six
[00:25:14] years since the explosion in the port of Beirut. Do you remember that? Who doesn't?
[00:25:17] Hezbollah tried to bury it until today, no justice has been done. And why am I
[00:25:21] connecting this? Because in the end there is a very serious problem with the Lebanese
[00:25:25] judicial system. Even today, they persecute everyone
[00:25:28] who opposes Hezbollah, whoever supports
[00:25:31] their leader, because Lebanese law prohibits any
[00:25:34] contact with the enemy, with Israel. Now, this is a paradoxical
[00:25:37] thing, while a Lebanese delegation is sitting with an Israeli
[00:25:41] delegation in Rome, in Washington, the Lebanese citizen is simply forbidden to talk to
[00:25:44] Israelis. Therefore, I think when they talk about disarming Hezbollah or not
[00:25:48] disarming Hezbollah.
[00:26:02] Intelligence traditionally fails again and
[00:26:05] again in what is called population intentions,
[00:26:09] to understand the population, to understand trends in the Lebanese street in this
[00:26:12] case, something failed, by the way, to understand the trends in the Iranian street, but that's a discussion
[00:26:16] for another day. And these reports
[00:26:18] and these items, I tell you, are very, very important pieces of intelligence,
[00:26:21] because how do you really understand, how do you monitor where
[00:26:25] the Lebanese street is going in the context of the conflict with
[00:26:28] Hezbollah? I think the road is still long, of course, but these are
[00:26:33] not the only ones, there are also programs in Lebanon, those who follow a bit of the debates
[00:26:37] on this issue, these are things we have not seen. However, the road
[00:26:40] is still long. But I, I strongly agree with you, and I add to
[00:26:44] this, to his last sentence, where he comes and says, look,
[00:26:48] I am for peace, I want peace, I want, I believe in peace for Israel,
[00:26:52] but the reality is far off, and the Arabic language is
[00:26:55] important, and here in our country there are those who do not understand
[00:26:58] this, that the Arabic language in the Middle East.
[00:27:07] Thank you, friends. Lieutenant Colonel H. from the Yahalom unit, an elite unit of
[00:27:11] the Combat Engineering Corps, was in charge of the tunnel detection project in the Beaufort
[00:27:14] area, tunnels through which Hezbollah planned to invade Israel. He
[00:27:18] led dozens of significant operations in Gaza, in Lebanon.
[00:27:21] Now he is ending his role. Ken Bayer met him for a farewell interview
[00:27:25] and heard from him about the challenges and achievements
[00:27:29] and the challenge of the tunnels. Here.
[00:27:32] In the State of Israel, the IDF is responsible for defense.
[00:27:36] In the IDF, Yahalom unit is responsible for tunnels, and in Yahalom,
[00:27:40] I am responsible for tunnels.
[00:27:40] I am.
[00:27:46] Now think, Chen, what is it? You reached
[00:27:49] a tunnel, you entered, and then you reached a door like that. What do you do now?
[00:27:53] What do you do? And here you need to know how to work
[00:27:56] smart, in a way that gives you the right
[00:28:00] camera, a friend who is waiting for you. You can break
[00:28:03] through it, you can shoot at it, you can bring down those on the other side. All
[00:28:07] the challenges come together at this moment, and even in a tunnel
[00:28:11] that you can enter and exit, when you return
[00:28:14] to it next time, things might change, suddenly you have a new door,
[00:28:18] suddenly you have a new object. Perhaps
[00:28:22] this is what is commonly known as
[00:28:26] the underground world. This man knows it well, perhaps even better
[00:28:30] than anyone else.
[00:28:32] For the tenth time, about the communities surrounding Gaza, he
[00:28:35] doesn't miss a beat.
[00:28:37] him,
[00:28:42] he's been digging tunnels for over 20 years, building
[00:28:45] the force for this thing, and he knows very well that down
[00:28:49] there will be his defense.
[00:28:52] And that's why for the past three years, two
[00:28:55] and a half years, that's what I've been dealing with. We knew everything,
[00:28:58] as they say, but you know the things you know but don't internalize.
[00:29:03] We knew that everything was connected and everything went into this tunnel from Daru Lavan, which we already destroyed.
[00:29:07] it 16 kilometers of tunnel
[00:29:10] that we destroyed and everything is connected. The main operations
[00:29:14] of Shbana in the new Rafah together
[00:29:18] with the place of Hadar's heroism together
[00:29:21] with in the center of the Sharbura
[00:29:23] battalion is connected to tunnels
[00:29:27] that run to the land and another that runs towards Tel Sultan
[00:29:31] neighborhood.
[00:29:40] So between the cities is connected, between the borders is connected, within the area
[00:29:43] is connected, this is the spirit
[00:29:46] of the infrastructure, and this, I think,
[00:29:49] will give me some big signs during
[00:29:52] my tenure. When we meet him, Lieutenant Colonel
[00:29:56] H. is already two days after he said goodbye to the command of
[00:29:59] one of the companies in the Yahalom unit. It includes the Yahalom
[00:30:03] engineering commando and the underground
[00:30:07] commando companies. Until a soldier encounters a real
[00:30:10] tunnel, it takes time, as if
[00:30:14] until he reaches his training for it, and when he finishes
[00:30:17] his training, we try as much as possible to quickly
[00:30:20] expose them and let them feel what this thing looks like.
[00:30:24] In this sense, a significant change. A soldier once
[00:30:28] finished his service and was buried in a tunnel.
[00:30:31] It was like.
[00:30:38] the best, the most special guys, the most capable,
[00:30:41] this, today, there's no such thing. There are fighters
[00:30:44] here who have trod hundreds of times, in various
[00:30:47] arenas. Almost his entire service was in the Engineering
[00:30:50] Corps, and the experience and knowledge that the company
[00:30:53] he commanded accumulated in two and a half years of multi-front
[00:30:56] fighting is unprecedented even on an international
[00:31:00] scale. Underground, you can. A feeling
[00:31:03] of helplessness. You want to get out for a second, you can't get out, it's
[00:31:07] not that easy. You want to breathe
[00:31:09] for a second, not necessarily
[00:31:12] you can. I'll tell you something.
[00:31:16] On the second day of the mission, a tunnel
[00:31:19] in Azizia in the Gaza sand of
[00:31:22] Rafah. Challenging sand. He and the fighters go
[00:31:25] inside the route, they go to look for Hadar. There is
[00:31:29] a force that goes first.
[00:31:31] And suddenly I get a report on the radio that there's a collapse underground,
[00:31:35] not from an explosion or anything. It's just very
[00:31:39] soft, very loose ground. So it all collapsed by itself, or they touched something,
[00:31:42] and a gap was created between the first three
[00:31:46] people and the rest of the force.
[00:31:50] It's helplessness for the fighter and helplessness
[00:31:53] for the commander. Not complete helplessness, but there's
[00:31:57] frustration, and there, in that incident, we succeeded and rescued
[00:32:01] them, and it ended. That incident ended well. When you
[00:32:04] dig, you take the sand back,
[00:32:07] and the soldier behind you, that's your best friend
[00:32:11] from the squad. He comes with the bucket, the second time.
[00:32:16] And he has to clear the material back. No one taught him
[00:32:19] to do that, neither mentally nor physically,
[00:32:22] and not in combat doctrine, and not
[00:32:25] in techniques and drills, and not at all. And he sees you sweating,
[00:32:28] and he sees you exhausted, he sees you in very difficult moments in life,
[00:32:32] and you know that if you, Uh, if you cough,
[00:32:36] as they say, if you show signs of breaking,
[00:32:40] it, it won't work,
[00:32:42] as if and. Also, uh, there's also
[00:32:46] crazy ambition
[00:32:49] to succeed and bring them. Something in the seventh of October,
[00:32:52] in the failure of the tenth trail,
[00:32:55] it was deeply, deeply etched in our minds,
[00:32:59] that we must fix it,
[00:33:02] and the first fix is to bring back the
[00:33:05] hostages. My name is Hirsh Goldberg Polin, I am
[00:33:08] Jonathan's and Rachel's son.
[00:33:11] Don't finish with a hymn.
[00:33:15] Dedication
[00:33:17] of the altar.
[00:33:23] There were six hostages
[00:33:24] who were murdered. Brutally.
[00:33:28] This was in the first month of my
[00:33:32] tenure. In the Al
[00:33:33] Sultan neighborhood. We find them one
[00:33:37] by one. And you recognize the faces. You
[00:33:40] understand who they are. Like, you know, you know everyone, right? There's no one you don't
[00:33:44] know. And it breaks my heart,
[00:33:48] like, me,
[00:33:50] what
[00:33:54] are the most difficult moments I had in this role, this is one of the most difficult moments I had
[00:33:57] to stand there above the tunnel with the Mickey Mouse
[00:34:00] picture of the children's room in Tel
[00:34:03] Sultan and see them coming out one
[00:34:06] by one, and to know that we were
[00:34:09] also close, it was
[00:34:11] hard.
[00:34:15] What I remember most is the event of Abu Fu, the battle
[00:34:18] that was the last, it's also the freshest, for me it
[00:34:22] completes a very nice circle, because when I went
[00:34:25] out, at least, to this war,
[00:34:29] I went out to a war where I see burned houses in Be'eri, I see broken
[00:34:32] bases, where I see displaced
[00:34:36] residents, and I end
[00:34:40] my duty, doing direct actions
[00:34:43] whose job is to protect.
[00:34:50] And this battle over Beaufort,
[00:34:53] Beaufort itself, in my opinion, is not interesting. It's an ancient Crusader fortress, it has no meaning
[00:34:56] for the stones.
[00:35:00] What's interesting is the strategic
[00:35:02] location that it directly controls.
[00:35:05] You stand there and you see, you see Metula, like you
[00:35:09] say, wow, it's not normal that we weren't here, with all the conscience I have
[00:35:12] since the seventh of October as a system person. As part
[00:35:16] of the Israel Defense Forces
[00:35:20] where the defense failed miserably,
[00:35:23] this needs to be fixed, and for me these
[00:35:27] three months in Beaufort felt like a
[00:35:30] repair, like a big
[00:35:33] stone, or another stone that was
[00:35:36] lifted from my heart. Now he's going for a year of studying
[00:35:39] Judaism and Criminology, if you asked, and also to use
[00:35:43] the time to catch up a bit here.
[00:35:46] I exaggerated these two years, I closed two years, my wife sees
[00:35:49] this report, she gets angry with me, she didn't see me for real for two years, but there's
[00:35:53] a lot of focus today on the reservists and that's good,
[00:35:55] שכך,
[00:35:58] these are people who stopped their lives and came
[00:35:59] to fight,
[00:36:02] I think it's hard to understand what a commander's wife
[00:36:05] or in these worlds goes through, I have
[00:36:09] a wife and I have five children, I also have a responsibility
[00:36:12] towards them, so you don't talk to them at all. Even when you talk
[00:36:15] to them, and they know it, your mind is not
[00:36:19] there, at least I'm talking about myself, it's not just not
[00:36:22] at home, he's not present, he's not
[00:36:24] there, uh, and for that she's
[00:36:28] a champion, for that she's a true hero, for that the children are true
[00:36:30] heroes. And this meeting of ours also happens
[00:36:34] two days before the anniversary of his injury, 12 years
[00:36:38] earlier in Operation Tzuk Eitan.
[00:36:41] July 25th,
[00:36:44] this coming Friday is a real memorial tomorrow. A memorial for Amit Yoav
[00:36:48] may he rest in peace and for Gai Boyland may he rest
[00:36:51] in peace. Uh, we were
[00:36:53] in Khan Yunis in the third week of the operation,
[00:36:57] I sent to Amit's family
[00:37:01] the picture of the place where Amit fell, which is
[00:37:04] shared, but in that place, in 2014,
[00:37:08] the first two terrorists killed Gai Boyland, may he rest in peace, and the third one
[00:37:12] who actually appeared
[00:37:16] from the side, killed Amit and severely wounded me,
[00:37:19] this strengthened my "why"
[00:37:22] in all of this, 12 years
[00:37:26] have passed since then.
[00:37:28] It's a lot, in these years I built
[00:37:31] a home, I managed to get injured again, when you
[00:37:35] experience so much loss
[00:37:38] and pain, and you see death
[00:37:41] so many times,
[00:37:43] it seems, in front of your eyes, that's a phrase you can say, you get perspective
[00:37:47] on life, suddenly hugging your child when you come home, that's
[00:37:51] not something for me, I didn't know if I would come out
[00:37:54] of this war alive.
[00:38:09] I know I will never forget, but we need to work
[00:38:12] on it, and that's what I'm most afraid of, you ask me what I'm most
[00:38:16] afraid of, that in our country, which I love
[00:38:19] very much, I'm fighting for it, that we won't forget, and I feel that we forget very
[00:38:23] quickly,
[00:38:26] and that's dangerous.
[00:38:49] He returned, in fact, the ability of Israel, unlike other
[00:38:52] armies in the world, to operate in tunnels, is an ability
[00:38:55] that was built up. In the Gaza Strip, but
[00:38:58] also in Lebanon, we see
[00:39:01] that our fighters are succeeding in developing methods, how to really fight in
[00:39:05] tunnels. We remember in the Strip, at the beginning, it was said that soldiers would not
[00:39:08] enter, and they developed tools
[00:39:10] מיניים
[00:39:13] to fight underground, and today our fighters know how to enter,
[00:39:16] many, many techniques that were developed in Yahalom.
[00:39:20] Yahalom Unit is really an example of a unit
[00:39:23] that reinvented itself in the war and...
[00:39:27] provided a very, very sensitive capability, also in the area
[00:39:31] of hostages, regarding the underground warfare. It also had, I think, a very fruitful
[00:39:34] cooperation with Unit 54 in these
[00:39:37] contexts, and they truly deserve all the appreciation for the things they developed.
[00:39:41] This tool, the combat lighting that was developed by them,
[00:39:44] I think it was used by many other armies
[00:39:47] in the world, and a unit, if you even look at
[00:39:50] the data at Meitav, at the draft office, the desire to enlist in it has increased
[00:39:54] by hundreds of percent. Yes, they also deal with very sensitive materials. The first one
[00:40:17] of the Gaza Division who invented this whole concept that you can enter
[00:40:21] the tunnels and fight inside them. I remember myself
[00:40:23] as a young officer who entered a tunnel for the first time, rappelling down with ropes.
[00:40:27] The one who taught me was Aviv Hakani, may he rest in peace,
[00:40:29] who really
[00:40:32] was killed on the Philadelphi axis in the armored vehicles incident.
[00:40:36] And I really brought in all this, which he eventually transferred to the Yahalom Unit, which developed it
[00:40:39] to almost unprecedented levels. Almost every Western army that cooperates
[00:40:43] with us comes to learn from Yahalom how to fight in underground
[00:40:46] combat. Yes, we were still surprised by the underground
[00:40:49] combat. Robotics are used
[00:40:52] there, uh, and other things that cannot be detailed, really groundbreaking things in Operation Protective
[00:40:55] Edge. I remember how today they discover
[00:40:59] tunnels, they find one shaft and they activate
[00:41:02] old smoke there, you remember the purple smoke that used to come out on the other side, today the methods
[00:41:06] are much more technological, much more advanced, really Roee,
[00:41:10] I'm coming to you right away, uh, by the way, when they say rehabilitation
[00:41:14] of Gaza, then you need to know
[00:41:17] that in Gaza a whole country was built
[00:41:20] underground, a whole country, not one
[00:41:23] tunnel, countless tunnels, and most of these
[00:41:27] tunnels were collapsed, and therefore removing these ruins will
[00:41:30] take years, rehabilitation of Gaza is something that will take many
[00:41:33] years. These tunnels in Lebanon are different tunnels
[00:41:37] than uh, yes, look, I...
[00:41:41] These tunnels in this area of Beaufort, the Alita area, mainly show
[00:41:44] us how much the motivation of Hezbollah
[00:41:48] and Iran still remains to build such nonsense even
[00:41:51] today despite everything, despite all the difficulties, despite direct negotiations between Israel and
[00:41:55] Lebanon, we must remember that eventually this
[00:41:59] motivation of the pro-Iranian axis to rebuild Hezbollah has gone nowhere,
[00:42:02] and we need a lot more time, and even with such operations,
[00:42:06] we will only achieve one thing. Look, both Hezbollah and Hamas understood that air superiority.
[00:42:17] There is no other way, okay, friends, thank you, hello to Minister Miri Regev, member of the political
[00:42:20] cabinet, hello, good week, still refueling
[00:42:23] Americans parked at Ben Gurion, yes, still parked at Ben Gurion. I hope they will gradually
[00:42:27] decrease, but I am very happy that I ordered
[00:42:31] that there will not be one more additional refueler inside Ben Gurion. As
[00:42:34] much as it was, and we had to do it, we
[00:42:38] were supposed to cancel. troubles and if not hundreds of
[00:42:41] flights of citizens who waited for this and saved money
[00:42:45] for flights in July, August, September. I am very happy that I insisted on this
[00:42:48] and that the Air Force, after many arguments with it, agreed
[00:42:52] to absorb those refuelers in the Haifa base. Did the Americans
[00:42:55] want to be in the center? It's clear that it's comfortable for them to be in the center, but in the end,
[00:42:59] in the end, we also need to take care of the citizens of the State of Israel.
[00:43:03] Of course, we want refuelers here because we want the United
[00:43:07] States to operate. Of course, we still have refuelers also in the Ramot base
[00:43:10] and also at Ben Gurion. We need to remember in the end that Ben Gurion is not a military base, it's a civilian
[00:43:14] airport that needs to ensure civilian
[00:43:16] traffic. We maintained open skies throughout this
[00:43:20] war, and of course, we will provide all assistance the moment there is
[00:43:23] an escalation. What do you say,
[00:43:25] systems,
[00:43:28] first of all, no one knows about Itai Blumenthal, the commander
[00:43:31] of CENTCOM landed in Israel. Right, he landed in Israel yesterday, we also
[00:43:35] received a report about it in the cabinet. Look,
[00:43:38] at the end of the day, Iran. The entire campaign against Iran is managed today
[00:43:42] entirely by President Trump. President Trump, indeed,
[00:43:45] and his team, are in excellent contact with the Prime Minister and our
[00:43:49] team, as you know, also
[00:43:51] from the last trip and from the trip until yesterday, they are in
[00:43:55] direct contact. However, it should be remembered that the United States is leading
[00:43:59] to some kind of agreement, any agreement, whatever it may be.
[00:44:02] We have conveyed that Iran must, Iran must dismantle
[00:44:06] its nuclear weapons, it cannot be nuclear, and we have clearly stated
[00:44:09] that if Iran attacks the State of Israel, we are not
[00:44:13] bound by any agreement, and we will strike Iran
[00:44:16] in the strongest possible way. It's no coincidence. Iran attacks
[00:44:20] Arab countries in the Gulf, it does not
[00:44:23] attack the State of Israel, it understands that when we say we
[00:44:26] will attack it, we will attack it in a very, very strong
[00:44:30] and severe way, so that it will understand that the State of Israel does not
[00:44:33] mess around, and such an agreement signed with
[00:44:36] Iran without nuclear weapons is.
[00:44:40] Quite a blow. Look, if there will be, I don't believe
[00:44:43] that the Americans will go for an agreement without
[00:44:46] Iran giving up its nuclear program. It's absolutely clear that Iran must
[00:44:49] be a country that is stripped of nuclear weapons. This is not only our goal,
[00:44:53] it is also the goal of the entire Western world and also of the moderate
[00:44:56] Arab states, who are also putting a lot of pressure on President Trump
[00:45:00] to resolve the issue with Iran. Let's see how the political
[00:45:04] situation unfolds, but we are ready for every scenario, both attack
[00:45:07] and defense. Yes, this expression.
[00:45:21] What is your political situation? First of all, I have
[00:45:24] no doubt that the right will win, and I have no doubt, I have no doubt that the right will win and that the next Prime Minister
[00:45:27] will be Netanyahu. Look, when you understand that Gadi Eisenkot
[00:45:31] has no government without Abbas and no government without
[00:45:34] Yair Golan, who Yair Golan clearly says, and his party
[00:45:38] is a dangerous party, you say. Terror. Now, when you hear yesterday in interviews
[00:45:42] on television that Hamas members and you hear in the Arab world saying we
[00:45:45] prefer Gadi Eisenkot. Why? Because he's weak? Why? Because
[00:45:49] he can be manipulated? Why? Because he's not Netanyahu who comes
[00:45:52] and knows. There is a public in Israel, there is a public in Israel
[00:45:56] that is willing to do anything, just
[00:46:00] not Netanyahu. There is such a public in Israel. I don't know who this public is,
[00:46:03] but we don't give out
[00:46:07] grades. He's not a small public.
[00:46:40] that Gadi Eisenkot cannot form a government without Abbas and without the dangerous
[00:46:44] party that supports terrorism, that of Yair Golan, no one in the state
[00:46:47] of Israel who is sober understands that you cannot put
[00:46:51] your trust in him.
[00:47:02] Yair Golan says, who needs the Haredim
[00:47:05] in the Knesset at all? No, he says, we don't need to draft the Haredim, it will take
[00:47:09] time, they don't have the skills and abilities. Yair Golan, for three years
[00:47:12] they campaigned on drafting the Haredim. The Zionist
[00:47:15] left. Allow me to complete, you hear all sorts of
[00:47:19] things like that. In the end, it's clear that.
[00:47:22] Maybe the Haredim will go with Eisenkot, so maybe he won't
[00:47:26] need Abbas. Look, I don't believe the Haredim will go with
[00:47:29] Eisenkot. Haredim understand that the only
[00:47:32] bloc that can go with them is the right-wing bloc. True, we had
[00:47:35] disagreements, true, they didn't get everything they wanted, but they also
[00:47:39] know that they need to enlist. The conscription law needs
[00:47:42] to pass. They need to be under the framework. The arrest law
[00:47:46] that the legal advisor led, this law is flawed, because it also
[00:47:49] led to it, you led to it.
[00:48:22] I'm saying the Haredim, the bloc they'll sit with,
[00:48:25] is uh, this week,
[00:48:29] Erdan and Yuli Edelstein formed a new
[00:48:32] party. It's clear they'll have a hard time passing the
[00:48:35] electoral threshold, no doubt. Is it about wanting
[00:48:38] to join Liberman? Is it about wanting
[00:48:42] to take votes from you to harm you?
[00:48:46] Look, I think, I think what
[00:48:49] Gilaad Erdan did when he stood up and said. This is not home,
[00:48:53] this is something you don't do, you were part of this home, don't spit
[00:48:57] in the well you drank from, now don't waste right-wing votes either, if
[00:49:01] this country is important to anyone, we are currently in the most
[00:49:04] significant elections almost that we've had in recent years, these are elections
[00:49:07] that will determine how the Supreme Court will look, these are elections that will determine
[00:49:11] how the Prosecutor's Office and the Legal Advisor to the Government will look, these are
[00:49:14] critical elections after President Trump's midterm
[00:49:18] elections and after President Trump will not be able to be re-elected again, unity, Sara Regev, what is
[00:49:21] unity?
[00:49:29] I represent many citizens in the State of Israel who do not sit in studios and are not
[00:49:32] politicians and are people who love the country. You know, come on, I respect
[00:49:36] you, I also want unity, but what does unity mean? Unity means
[00:49:40] giving up our country. Unity means bowing
[00:49:44] before Hamas. Unity means suddenly, unity
[00:49:47] is a group of Zionist parties
[00:49:51] with a sane approach, and even if there are
[00:49:54] disagreements here and there, not everything needs to be
[00:49:56] agreed upon.
[00:49:59] Netanyahu's government, I call on you to come to a government, a broad
[00:50:03] national government. We call on you to come, but no one wants
[00:50:06] to come.
[00:50:10] and Argolan, they only want a lobby, in Likud
[00:50:13] on August 17th, I of course, your
[00:50:17] number, thank you very much,
[00:50:20] I moved here, thank you very much.
[00:50:26] This week, America, but not only America,
[00:50:30] followed with great interest the race within the Democratic Party for the party's nominee
[00:50:33] in the Senate elections. Abdul Sayed defeated Haley
[00:50:36] Stevens, a narrow victory, but a victory. In the midterm elections, he
[00:50:40] ran against John James, the Republican from Michigan. Which of them will be
[00:50:44] the representative of this state in the American Senate? Al Sayed is
[00:50:47] a Muslim, pro-Hamas and causes great concern in America. Here is
[00:50:51] the report.
[00:51:52] everybody and I'll tell you that it's really important for us to be able to
[00:51:55] differentiate between Judaism, the Jewish people
[00:51:59] and APAC and Israel, those are two different things, I don't want my tax
[00:52:02] dollars being spent to backt backstop up.
[00:54:15] It took him time, maybe the slanders against Israel are not few, but the problem
[00:54:19] is America's.
[00:54:20] אמריקה.
[00:54:25] I think that it's also convenient for Trump to say many times that he is against Jews, he
[00:54:29] is against Israel, but this is a problematic process within
[00:54:33] America, I see a problematic process there. Look, waves of
[00:54:36] immigrants are coming. If they integrate and become part of the community that absorbed them, that's a great
[00:54:40] thing, but if not, and they want to impose their
[00:54:43] culture and their religion, that's another story. This is America's war,
[00:54:47] it's not our war. I think that Trump is actually expressing
[00:54:51] his fears, he is really afraid that
[00:54:55] people like Al Sayed and others, Al Sayed
[00:54:58] and others, and also Midani and others, there will be
[00:55:02] a process like what is happening in Britain, in England. That every other mayor
[00:55:06] there is a Muslim and by the way, as we said, there is no
[00:55:09] problem with Muslimness, there is a problem with Islamism. This guy
[00:55:13] is an Islamist, he comes and says "I believe in progress"
[00:55:17] in a very sweet language democracy
[00:55:20] liberalism, freedom and so on and in the end what you get is a person who
[00:55:24] supports terrorism or he does not, he does not rule out
[00:55:27] terrorism, he does not condemn terrorism. My fear is that we, this POC, this proof of concept,
[00:55:31] what is called this proof of feasibility, will also happen in the State of Israel, we
[00:55:34] will take. That in their sweet talk, in what they say, they speak
[00:55:37] in a liberal and democratic way, and in the end they are
[00:55:41] anti-Jewish, anti- democratic and especially
[00:55:44] anti-Zionist, and that is the fear of the union of Segalovich and Malsour
[00:55:48] Abbas. Yes, America is undergoing a profound
[00:55:51] change, we talk about it a lot, this is another
[00:55:54] outcome, another result of this. By the way, AIPAC
[00:55:58] invested tens of millions of dollars in an attempt to prevent
[00:56:01] him from winning and to support the other candidate, and won.
[00:56:16] No matter what they do, no matter how much money they invest, he
[00:56:20] wins, now in my opinion, but sorry, Marco, do you think the Qataris don't
[00:56:23] invest money? So what is this, I'm telling you, we are
[00:56:27] dealing with a very serious event here, and therefore
[00:56:30] the Jewish Israeli communities in the United States
[00:56:33] must reassess.
[00:57:35] The diplomatic conflict between Spain and Italy over the immigration
[00:57:38] crisis is worsening. The Spanish government announced today that those entering
[00:57:42] the country from Italy will be required to undergo border checks.
[00:57:46] Dov Gilhar, our envoy in Europe. What is behind
[00:57:48] the move?
[00:57:51] Yes, this dream of a free Europe is beginning to crack. This
[00:57:55] is all due to the migrant crisis in Ceuta, Spain's North
[00:57:59] African enclave. Italy initially
[00:58:01] announced, we are ending the agreement. An agreement that would protect
[00:58:05] for at least one month, they are starting to check Spanish travelers. The Spanish responded, if
[00:58:09] you do that, we will take action. And here they are, since last night,
[00:58:12] checking Italian tourists arriving
[00:58:15] on Spanish soil. A lot.
[00:58:18] This issue is mainly political, Meloni wants to show her audience that she is doing
[00:58:22] something against the immigration crisis. Against Spain, Spain also responds in kind.
[00:58:26] The immigrants entered, will enter also
[00:58:29] through Spain and also through Italy, to Lampedusa, these
[00:58:32] are the boats, both from Spain and
[00:58:34] from Europe. Thank you very much, Dov, Gilhar.
[00:58:38] Yes, under the watchful eye of the world, the Revolutionary
[00:58:42] Guards continue to execute every day dissidents,
[00:58:45] women, men.
[00:58:47] Young and old, dissidents who managed to escape from Iran
[00:58:51] with the help of Iranian exiles around the world, smuggled out testimonies like
[00:58:54] no other, daytime assassinations, executions, testimonies
[00:58:58] that became a film that for now has only been screened privately
[00:59:01] in France, and which was produced by a French
[00:59:05] Israeli journalist. I spoke with one of the survivors, a 28-year-old man who was
[00:59:08] in an Iranian prison during the war and was moments away from being
[00:59:11] executed. Even in Paris where he fled, he is
[00:59:14] in hiding. Here is our report.
[00:59:23] we will remove the Islamic Republic
[00:59:24] کنیم
[00:59:27] At that moment, I said it was over.
[00:59:29] شد
[00:59:37] I actually saw, I received a phone call from a member of my
[00:59:41] family, his voice was a voice I didn't
[00:59:44] recognize, a voice from another time.
[00:59:49] "we spoke of 40,000 deaths in just 2 days.
[00:59:52] You don't cause that many deaths by
[00:59:55] reacting, but by organizing the
[00:59:58] massacre. In fact, the worst thing they do isn't the
[01:00:02] killings, it's what they do to the
[01:00:04] living.
[01:00:13] The state opens its borders to kill its own population."
[01:00:47] Many friends died in front of me. There was a 14-year-old girl
[01:00:51] next to me who was throwing stones. She was shot in the
[01:00:54] leg and her whole
[01:00:55] body.
[01:01:00] No surplus, they hunt them like prey. Bullets between the eyes,
[01:01:04] mafia-style
[01:01:05] assassinations.
[01:01:12] No one interviewed people who escaped from there. This is the first time
[01:01:15] protesters are seen.
[01:01:29] very young people, couples, people who came with their families, meaning
[01:01:33] people on the roofs, who
[01:01:36] push the populations into the narrowest
[01:01:39] streets, and once they are in the narrowest streets, we shoot with a heavy
[01:01:43] weapon of war,
[01:01:45] in order to maximize the...
[01:01:52] which reached 40,000-50,000 dead, I felt
[01:01:55] a need to do something to awaken the
[01:01:59] public's conscience, to create awareness.
[01:02:02] The French journalist Max Perez joined Iranian
[01:02:06] exiles in Paris and together with an Israeli friend
[01:02:09] produced a film called
[01:02:11] Nowruz.
[01:02:16] In the film there are Jews who were smuggled out of Iran,
[01:02:19] like whom the world has never seen and perhaps prefers
[01:02:23] not to see, but not only Jews, but also
[01:02:26] testimonies from those who were smuggled out of hell and whose lives.
[01:03:03] Repression forces arrived at hospitals
[01:03:06] to search for the wounded and also
[01:03:09] to kill the doctors who treated the wounded, to tell
[01:03:12] them that in fact there is
[01:03:15] no place for mercy, there is no
[01:03:19] place for reconciliation
[01:03:21] with the protesters.
[01:03:32] people demonstrate and start to want to leave the bazaar and they shoot
[01:03:36] them with heavy machine guns to make them go back inside and they
[01:03:40] set the bazaar
[01:03:40] on fire.
[01:03:47] I meet a girl again who was there staring
[01:03:51] into space so I say what's wrong with her
[01:03:54] then she said I don't know if my parents are
[01:03:58] among the bodies that left. These people
[01:04:01] are satisfied I sacrifice myself for the people and
[01:04:04] the homeland. The satisfaction of those who were killed
[01:04:07] is sacrificed for the
[01:04:12] homeland. This scattered flower is sacrificed for the homeland. What
[01:04:16] do you learn that you didn't know? What surprised you? What
[01:04:19] shocked you? Especially the brutality of
[01:04:23] the police
[01:04:26] against their own people. These are people they live with.
[01:04:33] The security forces, the regime's repressive forces, sometimes
[01:04:37] live in the neighborhoods. In all the testimonies there was one element
[01:04:40] that repeated itself, even
[01:04:43] things we didn't put in the film because they were too shocking,
[01:04:46] but
[01:04:49] the deaths, the deaths of close friends who are
[01:04:53] shot next to them, who are shot with confirmation of killing,
[01:04:56] really a meter away from them, and they know they are next in line.
[01:05:00] For example, in the famous market of
[01:05:02] Tehran, the bazaar, as it is called,
[01:05:06] they managed to round up
[01:05:09] the protesters
[01:05:12] in large warehouses,
[01:05:16] the doors
[01:05:18] of these places. We saw them alive, of course.
[01:05:21] כמובן.
[01:05:30] they killed him in front of his daughter and in front of the man, then
[01:05:35] received uh a
[01:05:39] film of
[01:05:41] the rape of his wife post-mortem
[01:05:45] by several members of the Revolutionary Guards, so they
[01:05:49] raped his wife's body and they sent
[01:05:52] him uh the
[01:05:54] video,
[01:05:57] so I came, I was 13 years old, I came with my mother and
[01:06:01] my brother and my father stayed in
[01:06:05] Iran to try to organize the resistance and
[01:06:09] overthrow the
[01:06:09] regime.
[01:06:20] are used
[01:06:24] for the regime to wage its ideological
[01:06:27] war all over the world under.
[01:07:00] Then they electrocuted me non-stop, they even stripped me
[01:07:03] naked and started
[01:07:06] beating me with a hose.
[01:07:09] Then they wrote
[01:07:12] on my whole body
[01:07:14] with glass.
[01:07:17] I came to cut my vein and kill myself, they rushed and took the glass from me.
[01:07:20] They drew with glass from my breasts to my
[01:07:24] hand. You want.
[01:07:26] شما.
[01:07:42] This regime has killed all the youth
[01:07:46] of Iran, many, everyone. That is,
[01:07:48] I ask the question, how
[01:07:51] does the world remain silent in the face of these murders? Very
[01:07:55] isolated without support, unlike
[01:07:59] other conflicts on Earth and even
[01:08:03] in the region, they feel that the attention is not
[01:08:06] there, there is no media coverage, no protests, nothing.
[01:08:10] משת אין שום דבר.
[01:08:21] The Jewish communities
[01:08:23] in the world, to the Iranian
[01:08:27] communities of Iranian exiles. to the communities of the Iranian
[01:08:31] exiles.
[01:08:34] And they have another explanation, my goal is to get these
[01:08:38] stories out, this documentation. Here too, Qatar is involved
[01:08:42] in the event. Qatar controls many news
[01:08:45] corporations in the world. In the world, Qatar
[01:08:48] finances, lubricates, maintains
[01:08:51] relationships with journalists, guests, guests
[01:08:55] and molds. And ultimately, Qatar has no interest
[01:08:58] in reality the reality is completely Now sometimes even the
[01:09:01] newspaper doesn't know these
[01:09:03] publications.
[01:09:08] In the world there are several million Iranian exiles who make
[01:09:11] huge efforts.
[01:09:42] And how did they rescue them? They were rescued through border crossings,
[01:09:46] some were rescued from prison itself, also due to
[01:09:49] Israel's bombing there, people were rescued from prison,
[01:09:53] they covered the Israeli and American distributions, they were rescued through
[01:09:56] the borders with Kurds, Avrichim, who are used to crossing the
[01:09:59] border, through the cities, like in movies, like in movies, exactly.
[01:10:02] And hundreds
[01:10:05] of protesters who were
[01:10:09] in certain danger, would not have survived it.
[01:11:12] They are still persecuted in Europe,
[01:11:15] and in America. Yes, the regime is strong
[01:11:18] abroad, and it has
[01:11:22] its tentacles in Europe, also in embassies,
[01:11:25] they have people, agents
[01:11:27] who operate constantly to persecute
[01:11:31] opponents of the regime. Max
[01:11:34] is taking a risk by making such a film. Of course,
[01:11:37] at some point it might trigger
[01:11:41] red lights.
[01:12:13] of democracy, human rights and
[01:12:16] freedom, of course he has problems related to
[01:12:19] qu'il a des problèmes liés à
[01:12:21] the deep anti-Semitism of
[01:12:25] these Islamists who were inspired by the
[01:12:29] Muslim Brotherhood, Israel is the last
[01:12:31] bulwark to reach the West, in
[01:12:35] France he doesn't understand that, and no and
[01:12:39] today the French president...
[01:12:42] has very regular
[01:12:45] contacts with the Iranian president,
[01:12:47] he hasn't said a single word
[01:12:51] for the dead.
[01:12:56] In Iran, the citizens who hope for change have not lost
[01:12:59] hope, they prefer death over the terror regime
[01:13:02] there, they know they need to hold on, and that's what they
[01:13:06] are doing, they are still going out to protest outside, both inside
[01:13:09] Iran and outside Iran, they
[01:13:11] know that this will end, at some point this body
[01:13:14] will collapse.
[01:13:20] something happens that again people come home and become much
[01:13:23] angrier.
[01:13:57] What do I tell you? We will immediately have with us former Mossad official
[01:14:01] Oded Lam, but your opinion, Marko? Unfortunately,
[01:14:04] we are surrounded
[01:14:07] by, I'll say it a bit bluntly, by sadistic
[01:14:11] people everywhere. The Iranians are like that,
[01:14:15] the Syrians are like that, the Lebanese are like that, the Palestinians are
[01:14:18] like that. These phenomena described here in the film,
[01:14:21] these tortures are well known to the security system in all arenas.
[01:14:25] I hope the rest of the public understands what we're dealing with, that's the first statement.
[01:14:29] The second statement is the hypocrisy of
[01:14:31] the enlightened Western
[01:14:35] world, which, I think I said it, no judge, no
[01:14:38] news, that tells the whole story in all arenas. And the
[01:14:42] third thing is the matter of Qatar, who
[01:14:44] is leading this group of sadists, who
[01:14:47] is financing, who is pushing the agenda
[01:14:51] in all matters and arenas, Qatar, again the Qataris are rising. So
[01:14:55] in this article, in my article, it came up from the angle
[01:14:58] of how the world doesn't publish such claims. Because they prevent it as
[01:15:02] described here in the article. What does Qatar do? It
[01:15:06] prevents, on the other hand, it leads the Americans to an agreement that is
[01:15:08] not good for us. Qatar, also
[01:15:11] in this story of Qatar, and to remind you what we published with you,
[01:15:15] if you remember during the war when the Qataris, let's say,
[01:15:19] took a more confrontational stance towards the Iranians,
[01:15:22] we saw that the Iranians attacked them, attacked their most
[01:15:26] important gas facility in the north of the emirate, and then in fact they told
[01:15:30] them, you want us to bother you less, cover us
[01:15:33] more positively, meaning, don't, let's say, don't oppose us so
[01:15:37] sharply and bring some Iranian commentator, so this really teaches you
[01:15:40] where the butter is spread from the Qatari perspective, and butter
[01:15:44] with poison, but yes, look, a
[01:15:47] Palestinian boy can fall off his bicycle
[01:15:50] in Halhul and the world starts
[01:15:53] to receive. Protests
[01:15:56] and marches
[01:15:59] and shouts until blood is shed here,
[01:16:02] 40 thousand people
[01:16:05] are slaughtered in Jaffa, by the way, they continue
[01:16:09] to slaughter them, women are raped there, I don't see the organizations, I don't see
[01:16:12] women's organizations shouting, I don't see organizations that are in favor of
[01:16:15] liberalism, in favor of democracy, in favor of freedom, they don't
[01:16:18] come and criticize, what kind of regime is going towards Iran.
[01:16:22] And the hypocrisy in the world is, by the way, fine. The hypocrisy
[01:16:25] within the State of Israel bothers me more, because even within the State of Israel, they don't
[01:16:29] manage to understand that there are two sides, there is a good side and there is a
[01:16:33] bad side, the bad is very clear, you just need to look at it, yes,
[01:16:36] Itai, when you see these claims, it's really a chilling
[01:16:40] article, it really touches the
[01:16:43] heart, it also reminds why Trump finally decided to leave
[01:16:47] Israel, at least to participate in the attacks with Kal-El, there was some
[01:16:50] timing there, and it was also true for the roar of
[01:16:53] the Lion B. The last one, but the protests within
[01:16:57] Iran, the regime managed to suppress, a large part of what the Iranian
[01:17:00] regime does is also Basij forces, whose sole purpose is
[01:17:04] to suppress protests in a violent, sadistic,
[01:17:07] shocking way, and it is possible that this is the reality we are seeing
[01:17:11] now, there is no really significant uprising, and it was probably
[01:17:14] stopped too early, the joint campaign of the
[01:17:18] United States, thank you, hello to former Mossad official
[01:17:21] Oded Lam, good evening to you, good evening. You watched
[01:17:25] the report, I just think if they hadn't stopped
[01:17:29] the attack, if it was possible
[01:17:32] do you think?
[01:17:34] Of course, Trump made a spectacular U-turn,
[01:17:38] which, by the way, is quite characteristic of him,
[01:17:42] and it will take
[01:17:44] a considerable amount of time until this regime
[01:17:47] bleeds out, until the regime
[01:17:51] ultimately falls, but it will fall. Because this
[01:17:54] regime has lost its internal legitimacy within
[01:17:57] the people, as well as the severe
[01:18:00] economic problems, and also of course the
[01:18:04] other things, but it's a great shame. That Trump
[01:18:08] made this move, it seems to me that he didn't read two
[01:18:11] books, one is the book written by Abbas
[01:18:15] Haratchi last year, called "The Power of Negotiation,"
[01:18:18] and for $9 on Amazon he would have gotten the best intelligence
[01:18:22] in the world on Iranian tactics. The second
[01:18:25] book, unfortunately, is Barbara Tuchman's book on diplomacy, and there
[01:18:29] a glorious chapter could be written
[01:18:32] about how the Americans are currently going to sign an agreement. Yes, Marco
[01:18:36] Poly, tell me. These claims, how
[01:18:39] do you think they are not published worldwide? How do they not
[01:18:42] shake the world? These are things, these are crazy
[01:18:45] images, people are shot at point-blank range, a bullet to the brain, they are sniped
[01:18:49] from roofs, they are brought into areas, locked up alive
[01:18:52] and burned, raped, body
[01:18:56] naked, this is exactly what
[01:18:59] Marco and Itai said. First of all, there is
[01:19:02] a very well-timed campaign that is also funded by
[01:19:06] Qatar, by the way, also Saudi Arabia, let's not forget Saudi Arabia's
[01:19:10] role, we are giving her some end-of-season discounts,
[01:19:13] but she is a central component in the propaganda
[01:19:16] against us. And secondly, the world doesn't want to see it, as you said, no
[01:19:20] judge, no news, yes.
[01:19:23] Well, look, you know, there are several million exiles
[01:19:26] in the world, Iranian exiles, they have a very serious operation, they
[01:19:30] manage to smuggle, every such smuggling of a refugee,
[01:19:33] it's thousands of euros at least, but they still.
[01:19:38] Iran still holds people who instill their terror
[01:19:42] also in the various embassies
[01:19:44] in Europe. Let's get to our
[01:19:47] story. Information about Roman Gufman,
[01:19:51] head of the Mossad, was published, according to which he
[01:19:55] dismissed, that's how it's branded. He dismissed two senior officials
[01:19:59] because he was not satisfied with them. What can you tell us about this
[01:20:01] story?
[01:20:04] I usually don't, you know, I don't tend to get involved in
[01:20:08] political matters, but here I will still say a few
[01:20:11] things. First of all, we must take our hats off to
[01:20:14] the media, which took completely
[01:20:17] normal personnel changes
[01:20:20] at the top of the Mossad, which happen every time a new Mossad chief is appointed,
[01:20:24] and actually turned them into a purge,
[01:20:27] into revenge, into a
[01:20:31] dismissal, and actually
[01:20:34] created a news
[01:20:37] department or with a huge
[01:20:40] budget
[01:20:43] and a huge production where they marked the villains and marked
[01:20:47] the motives and we now have
[01:20:50] a plot
[01:20:53] different, look, I'm not, I haven't been in the Mossad for quite a few years, but
[01:20:57] I talk to people here and there, I don't
[01:21:00] feel that anyone thinks there's a dismissal here, there's
[01:21:03] a natural evolution that every Mossad chief who enters his position
[01:21:08] wants his team in the control
[01:21:10] tower that he trusts and believes in,
[01:21:14] the same team that will tell the planes to land
[01:21:17] and take off, the same team that will be responsible for what happens on
[01:21:20] the ground, and the same team that will prepare for the
[01:21:23] new challenges that are completely different from what the Mossad
[01:21:26] has prepared for until now. Now, regarding one more word
[01:21:29] regarding the failure of the Mossad
[01:21:32] in Iran, let's put it this way, the Mossad, according to the publication,
[01:21:36] hatched a very ingenious plan, but this plan
[01:21:40] did not materialize. The plan did not materialize because
[01:21:43] Trump made a U-turn, and because
[01:21:46] of that, I think only the future
[01:21:50] will be able to judge whether it was good
[01:21:54] or not good. You say things, I argued with the friends here at 7 PM,
[01:21:57] that this plan was not tested in a real test, because
[01:22:01] it did not mature into the event. There were
[01:22:05] amazing successes of the Mossad, of intelligence. Of operations, of
[01:22:08] everything, of assassinations, of thwarting, things,
[01:22:11] we reached the windows of houses in Iran, and to successful
[01:22:15] timing, and this thing, how can you get
[01:22:18] to a place before what is called, the question is if
[01:22:21] the fighting continued, if it was possible to overthrow
[01:22:23] the regime,
[01:22:25] I don't know, but we are in hindsight, all the commentators are
[01:22:29] prophetic forces, and therefore I cannot
[01:22:33] say if it would have succeeded, if it would not have succeeded, you have to remember, there was a
[01:22:37] move here.
[01:22:42] I just don't know, but you can't evaluate a plan and say
[01:22:46] that it's a failure if it didn't materialize at all? I want
[01:22:49] to perhaps say one more word about
[01:22:52] Gofman. Look,
[01:22:55] I don't know the man,
[01:22:57] but from conversations with all sorts of sources who worked
[01:23:01] with him and operated with him, he seemed to me
[01:23:03] to be an honest person.
[01:23:11] Creative and ultimately,
[01:23:14] experience is not that important in this role, we are not
[01:23:17] bringing a lifeguard from Frishman. He
[01:23:21] was military secretary for two years, he knew the
[01:23:24] Mossad, he studied it, he knows what
[01:23:27] he's talking about, and therefore, let's say,
[01:23:30] his success is our success, and in five
[01:23:33] years he will have to be judged on that small and cruel thing called
[01:23:37] results, and then if he
[01:23:39] succeeds, all those dismissals that we see now
[01:23:43] will become, in retrospect, bold reforms,
[01:23:47] and if he fails, then of course.
[01:24:00] They moved people from their positions,
[01:24:03] for example. Everyone, I don't know a single Mossad chief
[01:24:07] who didn't make
[01:24:10] changes in what is called the forum of heads, that is the forum of department
[01:24:13] heads, for the simple reason that he wants to work
[01:24:16] with people he believes can take him
[01:24:20] to the places he wants to reach. Now, you have to remember,
[01:24:23] the conditions in the arena have completely changed, we are in
[01:24:27] a completely new reality, and the Mossad also needs to adapt itself to this
[01:24:30] reality. Oded Elem, former Mossad
[01:24:34] agent, thank you very much for
[01:24:45] them. Yes, first of all, in my understanding, the one who was dismissed was also the one
[01:24:49] who... One of
[01:24:53] the figures who was supposedly dismissed was the one who did
[01:24:56] the role that Oded did in the Mossad at the time, just
[01:24:59] strong opposition to Oded.
[01:25:02] In my opinion, beyond everyone who knows him well and talks to
[01:25:05] Mossad people about how they experience the evil, I completely
[01:25:08] agree. I think, we said this an
[01:25:12] hour earlier, a Mossad chief's job is to come and convey a message
[01:25:15] to the organization that if he was not satisfied with this
[01:25:19] conduct, he removes the people. That's how it's done in the army, that's how it's done in the
[01:25:23] General Security Service. No, but he tells you that it's much broader.
[01:25:27] His key phrase, in my opinion, is that the media suddenly
[01:25:30] turned something that is very, very legitimate and natural, that happens in every organization, in every
[01:25:34] change of roles, and also in the Mossad, also in the Mossad, and suddenly turned it into something
[01:25:38] that is unusual, ethnic cleansing within the Mossad, that's nonsense,
[01:25:41] really, yes. Well, it all depends on how you tell the story, who

[01:35:58] areas of the country, and on Monday there will be another slight increase
[01:36:01] in temperatures, and heavy to extreme heat stress
[01:36:05] will persist.
