00:00:00I was there for him, from what
00:00:42the circumstances of the explosion. Israel is also attacking today
00:00:46in Lebanon. A lot of politics both in Israel and in the United States.
00:00:49Mandani suffers a harsh humiliation when he is removed in disgrace
00:00:53from an event where he tried to give a speech unsuccessfully. Dedi Shimhi will be here
00:00:57who ran with Gantz along with many parties that are running
00:01:01like mushrooms, scraping the electoral threshold.
00:01:04The young Israeli, who was attacked by a pro-Palestinian tourist
00:01:08violently, and even though the Palestinian, the pro-Palestinian,
00:01:10was much larger than him in many dimensions, the Israeli, a discharged combat soldier from the IDF, gave
00:01:14him some glorious ippons. We start with the disaster
00:01:18in Lebanon. In a short time, Yuval with comfort, Staff Sergeant
00:01:22Advanced Tamir Vahakin, 33 from Eilat, a combat
00:01:25medic in the paratroopers. Tamir left behind parents and two
00:01:29brothers. Earlier today, the company commander, Major
00:01:32(res.) Harel Birnstock, may he rest in peace, was laid to rest.
00:01:36Harel, 34 years old, left behind a wife,
00:01:39four children, parents, brothers and sisters. Aviv
00:01:43eulogized him, maybe we are weak now,
00:01:46defeated and crying, but I promise you,
00:01:49Harel, that no one can defeat us,
00:01:53and we will always be happy,
00:01:56in our home. The people of Israel live.
00:02:01Yonat and Shlomo Birnstock, Harel's parents,
00:02:04may he rest in peace, join us now. I share
00:02:08your sorrow from the bottom of my heart. It can be said
00:02:11about Harel, a son, a father, a husband, a fierce combat officer,
00:02:14a soulful engineer at Elbit, king
00:02:17of the land. What a
00:02:19loss. Hello
00:02:21to you. Hello, hello.
00:02:25Yes, what do I always say to myself, what can I do? To feel
00:02:39that you are not a private matter, it's
00:02:42a national matter. No one will take your private disaster
00:02:45from you, unfortunately, but we
00:02:49want to share the empathy and the burden
00:02:52with you. So I invite you to say what is on
00:02:55your heart.
00:02:58Tell us about your son, yes.
00:03:02The truth is that the goal of us coming on air
00:03:06is mainly, first of all, of course, to tell
00:03:10about Harel,
00:03:12but we want people
00:03:15to know that in this country there are
00:03:18people who simply
00:03:22dedicate all their lives to the army
00:03:25without any hesitation, and Harel
00:03:28was one of them. He
00:03:30was
00:03:34completely involved both in Elbit
00:03:38and in the family, and a lot, a lot
00:03:42in the military all the time. Phone
00:03:44calls
00:03:47and how to bring the soldiers
00:03:50to reserves and how to create unit
00:03:52pride. It was like this, he would walk around our
00:03:56house, and he would ask his brothers, "How can I create
00:04:01unit pride for my company?" It was Company A,
00:04:05that's how they talk, and then the idea came up that Company A
00:04:08are lions. He went and made
00:04:12badges, everything from his private time,
00:04:15in order to create unit pride,
00:04:18so that the presence of the reservists, of the soldiers in reserves,
00:04:21would be maximal, so that everyone
00:04:25would contribute. He invested
00:04:28hundreds and thousands of hours in this with the parents
00:04:30and with the soldiers, how to convince
00:04:34them and to take care of them.
00:04:36Also, to create for them, well,
00:04:40he probably got this education at home. We are
00:04:44sure, we heard your words
00:04:46too.
00:04:48Thank you, thank you. Now, what I wanted to tell about
00:04:52Harel, more from a personal
00:04:56perspective, Harel had
00:05:00two traits. First, I will talk about the trait of
00:05:04seriousness. He was very, very serious. You hear
00:05:08his soldiers in the company, whom he
00:05:11referred to as "my company." He would not let them sit and do
00:05:14nothing, because sitting would lead to the next
00:05:18disaster. Meaning, even in a situation where there was a relaxed activity, he
00:05:21would say, "I am doing an activity, I am not letting you rest." Everything
00:05:25was, meaning, I asked the
00:05:27commander, what is the procedure for entry, because I
00:05:31was surprised how it could be that he stepped on the device, because we talked so much
00:05:35about this, about caution. He would not
00:05:38compromise on these things. So what was
00:05:41the answer? Interesting, interesting, what was the answer? The answer
00:05:45was that it's a place they entered, that it's 80 meters from where they
00:05:48sleep. The place already had no surrounding
00:05:51walls, and apparently on one of the
00:05:55beams there was an old charge that was activated
00:05:57in some way, but I was very surprised to see how
00:06:01such a thing happens, because I know how
00:06:04serious he was. A point regarding
00:06:08his seriousness, the issue of his
00:06:13sports training, he volunteered
00:06:17to run for Shalva. Shalva is for
00:06:19children
00:06:21with special needs, and you need to raise money and participants in the race,
00:06:25in the race, yes, I know that, I think the Harush
00:06:29family, who lost a son,
00:06:32participates in this race, right, right. And he
00:06:35trained for months,
00:06:39he trained for months for the race. Suddenly.
00:06:42The war, he was in the reserves, he couldn't train. He would go down to the Hula Valley to run
00:06:46there. He was released
00:06:49two days, meaning, after he was already in reserve service, three
00:06:52months, after two days, he ran
00:06:55the Natan race, as if
00:06:59he wouldn't give up, Ima.
00:07:02Yonat, no, no, no giving up.
00:07:04You knew,
00:07:07yes, no, I want to know if, what did I know,
00:07:10you knew, you worried, you were afraid. Yesterday, when it was discussed all day
00:07:14before it was allowed to be published, I didn't hear anything, the truth is
00:07:18that throughout all these years
00:07:21since Harel became an officer in this war,
00:07:25I was hysterically worried,
00:07:27and I was really
00:07:30plagued by daily worries, existential
00:07:34worries, really. And once I decided that I would somewhat
00:07:37release this pressure since October 7th
00:07:41and give myself more trust in God, that things, that things
00:07:44would be alright, that God would protect
00:07:48him, and I decided to be a bit calmer. And the truth is
00:07:52that the day before, I was with Harel at
00:07:56my parents' house. We came for a visit, each separately,
00:07:59but we met there. We planned to visit them, and he
00:08:03showed me, he showed me the ruins of Majdal Zoun,
00:08:06the place where what happened,
00:08:10happened. And... everything there looked
00:08:13completely 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
00:08:20me, "You're right, there's nothing to worry about, but you can always think something
00:08:24might happen," but I didn't take it seriously at all. And
00:08:28yes, they arrived exactly when I wasn't looking out the window,
00:08:32which I always did. And that's it. I wanted
00:08:36to also tell about his lightheartedness. Shlomo told
00:08:40about his so I... his other side
00:08:44is a very, very lighthearted
00:08:47and charming side. The child
00:08:50was, since a very, very young age, very, very
00:08:54charming, and he turned everything into a joke
00:08:57and a prank, and I think that just helped him cope with all
00:09:01the burdens that Shlomo just talked about. He was responsible for so many
00:09:05soldiers and for so many tasks and projects at his
00:09:08job, so he spiced everything
00:09:11with a lot of humor and a lot of laughter and a lot of lightness. He would come
00:09:15home, he really, really loved music of all kinds, of all kinds,
00:09:18he would come home
00:09:22with enthusiasm and shouts
00:09:25and cheers and something very, very
00:09:28charming, and everyone was
00:09:31drawn to him. His friends who were abroad with him just told
00:09:34now, and even with the Muslim hegemon
00:09:38who was there, just within
00:09:41two sentences, he became his
00:09:44friend without knowing English and without knowing
00:09:47French. It was in France.
00:09:50And yes, he is a person who attracts
00:09:53people. People here told that they
00:09:55were, yes. Thank you very much, thank you very much
00:09:59from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for agreeing to talk
00:10:02about him. Thank you for your openness and for your determination.
00:10:06I am sure that your hearts are burning, but
00:10:09the ability to package everything and
00:10:13deliver it, you delivered Harel in a very
00:10:16very lively way, one might say. Thank you very much, may you know no more sorrow
00:10:20and may you merit to raise your children
00:10:29there? Yes, I have to take a moment to address this interview, it
00:10:33just breaks my heart every time anew. And thanks to the soldiers
00:10:36who are on our borders, we can sit here in the studios
00:10:40and talk. There are also people in the studio who have done a lot
00:10:43of reserve duty. So we salute them for allowing us to somehow
00:10:46continue with our routine. Yesterday, around 12
00:10:49noon, the fighters from Brigade 55, Battalion
00:10:5228, Company A, were hit by a blast that caused engineering
00:10:56work in Majdal Zoun, within the Israeli security zone,
00:11:00a western sector about eight kilometers from the border. They are still working there
00:11:04and still finding a lot of Hezbollah infrastructure. For a reason
00:11:07that is still unclear, at least not to us, the fighters entered
00:11:11a building, a building that in hindsight turned out to be a booby-trapped
00:11:14building, 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
00:11:25seriously injured. Yes, it must be said that Rambam Hospital has been treating them
00:11:29since yesterday. Their condition is stabilizing. Yesterday there were moments
00:11:32of great anxiety, when two apparently
00:11:35missing, the explosion naturally led
00:11:38to the collapse of parts of the building. There were all sorts
00:11:41of operations there, they rescued them, they are fine. They have a long recovery
00:11:45ahead of them, but in the end the evacuation was quick by helicopter
00:11:48directly to Rambam, they were treated on site, they are out of danger
00:11:51at least for now. And the IDF is investigating the incident. I think
00:11:55that the main thing, and probably what was said here by
00:11:58the father, Shlomo, is probably
00:12:01the correct thing. In the end, it was probably an old
00:12:05charge that was in the house. We don't know for sure right now, it's not
00:12:08a violation by Hezbollah, it's
00:12:11complicated, not a clear violation. This is
00:12:14if they had identified terrorists arriving at the scene during the ceasefire,
00:12:18but the charge was activated remotely. It seems it was
00:12:21a charge that was activated either by stepping on it or was connected
00:12:25to a door or some internal mechanism, and this incident is difficult.
00:12:29In the end, our soldiers are in the security zone
00:12:32in Lebanon. There are many charges there, a
00:12:35war zone, and sometimes there are also such
00:12:38tragedies, and of course there will be a blessing, and we here in the studio share
00:12:42their sorrow. Thank you very much, Itai, we have
00:12:45a bereaved father with us, good evening, hello Boaz Kukia,
00:12:49Lieutenant Colonel (res.), you also did many days of reserve duty, also with them,
00:12:52also Lieutenant Colonel (res.),
00:13:01Ashkenazi, hello to you. I want to say a word to the parents,
00:13:04to the parents I want to say,
00:13:08that their wonderful sons, someone brought them
00:13:11into the world, someone educated them. Clearly, these families,
00:13:14their values, the close environment, the environment where
00:13:18they live, it's a very supportive environment,
00:13:21and whoever goes and becomes a combat soldier in regular service, that's
00:13:25wonderful. Those who continue to do reserve duty, while establishing
00:13:28a family, he is an engineer at Elbit in the defense industry. Apparently he has
00:13:31a reason to stay in the defense industry and not
00:13:35do reserve duty. Also this is exactly it, also this, but in any
00:13:39case he does reserve duty, these are the kings
00:13:41of the land, precious
00:13:44people. We truly wish a speedy recovery
00:13:47to the wounded. This is a glorious brigade, Brigade 55, after
00:13:51Jerusalem, serving together with our division in
00:13:56the region, and we need to understand
00:13:58that this security activity has its costs, and we need
00:14:02to understand that in southern Lebanon, in Gaza, and in Judea and Samaria,
00:14:05there are monsters of terror
00:14:09above ground and underground, and it's a matter of
00:14:12time to dismantle these things, and we need patience, determination,
00:14:16and perseverance, and to remind ourselves that there are real enemies,
00:14:20we don't need to create fake enemies among ourselves. Political
00:14:24rivalry is allowed, disagreements, but let's put
00:14:27this crazy animosity with the even
00:14:31crazier ego aside. Itamar,
00:14:34yes, I, I join here, first of all,
00:14:37in the condolences and also in the wishes for recovery for the wounded. There are four seriously
00:14:40wounded. I spoke yesterday and today with commanders in this
00:14:43sector. Overall, these are routine operations. We have seen such
00:14:47incidents, also a very similar incident in Kafr Kila a few months ago
00:14:50during engineering work where they stepped on a charge. A soldier was there.
00:14:54This week we had soldiers in the Egoz unit who were wounded in a bulldozer that was attacked by a drone.
00:14:57Therefore, I say, we don't need to nitpick about whether it was a violation or not a violation,
00:15:01an old charge or not an old charge.
00:15:04There is an operational incident in which soldiers were killed, and we
00:15:08need to respond here, and there is an enemy there, there is an enemy all the time.
00:15:11His goal is not, there is an enemy and he continues to act against us, and we here don't
00:15:15need to do their job for them. A short
00:15:19statement. Look, you look at the parents an hour after they buried their dearest,
00:15:22standing here on television with such mental strength, coming
00:15:26and speaking, and you know, speaking not out of anger, not out of any
00:15:29comes from mental strength, you know, sometimes you
00:15:33wonder and you say to yourself, I don't believe they are capable
00:15:36of speaking. The enormous strength in such situations, from what
00:15:40material must you be made of? You understand how their son was,
00:15:43you understand how their son was, if that's the parents, then you can imagine
00:15:47who the son is, even without knowing him, with that humor, Moshe, as
00:15:51they say, you come to strengthen and leave strengthened, when such mothers,
00:15:54parents, are the glory of this nation. What is there to say? There is
00:15:58nothing to say about a victim. Yes, we said
00:16:01Lebanon, we said Iran right under the hypocritical nose
00:16:05of the world, the Revolutionary Guards.
00:16:07Executing regime opponents daily,
00:16:11women, men, young and old,
00:16:14and regime opponents who managed to escape
00:16:17from Iran with the help of Iranian exiles around the world,
00:16:21smuggled out footage like no other, footage
00:16:24that became a film that for now has only been shown
00:16:28at private screenings and was produced by a
00:16:32former Israeli journalist. On Saturday night
00:16:36I will broadcast a report. Both on the film and on an interview
00:16:39I conducted with a young man who escaped execution just
00:16:43recently. He describes the horrific torture he underwent,
00:16:47how he escaped from Iran. Here is a short clip from
00:16:49the report.
00:16:56In the film, countless footage was smuggled from Iran
00:16:59that the world has never seen, and perhaps prefers
00:17:02not to see. But not only footage, but also
00:17:06testimonies from those who were smuggled out.
00:17:20They 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.
00:17:24Then they started hitting me
00:17:27with the hose. Then
00:17:30they wrote all over my body
00:17:34with glass. I came
00:18:37Also, first of all, this world is a contaminated piece of
00:18:41hypocrisy, as we say, no Jews, no
00:18:45news. It doesn't interest anyone. People are being slaughtered
00:18:48there in broad daylight, with insane cruelty,
00:18:52with nothing. They are no longer, they are not doing it in the dead of night, just
00:18:55from the rooftops and snipers and shooting in the head at
00:18:58people. They are simply hunting them like animals,
00:19:01and this guy I talked to, this Iranian, through
00:19:05an interpreter, who herself
00:19:08is from a family of Iranian exiles, she couldn't handle the descriptions, she burst into tears. The truth
00:19:12is, it's horrific things,
00:19:15and that's it. It seems to me that this event got
00:19:18stuck a bit. Unfathomable cruelty of the Iranian regime, and I don't know
00:19:22what will happen, but this is a regime that needs to be brought down. Until
00:19:26it falls, all the mess in the region
00:19:28and in the world, and the axis will continue and
00:19:32will not stop. Therefore, if we are already in a time of
00:19:35war, we must take advantage of it to the end. Yes. Look,
00:19:39the issue is not the regime. As you said before, the world itself. Where is the UN?
00:19:43Where is the International Criminal Court? Where are all these great heroes, who all day long
00:19:47you only hear them for our crimes, crimes against
00:19:50the people. Like a mafia there. That's not. That's fine,
00:19:53and the world was silent and nothing happened and there is no genocide and nothing
00:19:57and everything is fine. It looks perfectly normal. Only with us we are
00:20:00expanding, we are slaughtering babies and everything, and I tell you, as you said before,
00:20:04it's hypocrisy. And it doesn't help us. That we don't do
00:20:08it and they accuse us, of course, that's the
00:20:11whole point. Exactly the point that we don't do it
00:20:14and they do it openly in a very clear, filmed, documented
00:20:18cold-blooded way, and the world is after it. No, this is footage that was smuggled from there.
00:20:22Really powerful footage. On Saturday night, I will show footage like we have never seen
00:20:25before. 100% this is, let's see, really
00:20:28cold-blooded murder. Like a mafia, mafiosos,
00:20:32that's the Iranian regime, unfortunately.
00:20:35Trump simply is less interested now in this side of
00:20:38the war. Hello Moshe, hello. Beyond the very
00:20:42correct angle of the world's hypocrisy, we must
00:20:45not forget that termites are eating
00:20:48the corpse of the Iranian nation. What we are seeing here, yesterday Netanyahu spoke,
00:20:51this week Netanyahu spoke, about the fact that 80% oppose the regime
00:20:55and 20% support it. And he said, 20% of 91, that's still close
00:20:58to 20 million people, but the rest are tens of millions
00:21:02of people who hate the regime. They are willing to die,
00:21:05and the regime will fall. They risk their lives in shootings, risk
00:21:09their lives for this cause, and in addition
00:21:12the economic termites are eating at it. So don't
00:21:15get excited by every thuggish outburst from
00:21:18Qalibaf or anyone else.
00:21:20In the end, what we are seeing, in my opinion, is the degradation of
00:21:24this country to a third-world country. In a historical process, it is not
00:21:28possible to hold a people in such a way. It is not
00:21:31possible. In the end, the economy will also defeat them, and remember that the economic
00:21:35war, even though the bombings did not happen last week, the economic
00:21:38war continues, the siege continues.
00:21:41Meaning, don't just look at the loss that the Iranian regime is trying
00:21:45to show of power. Whoever does such things is not strong. Whoever does
00:21:48such things is afraid. With his own, it's a crazy
00:21:52unleashing of restraint, what they did. They very, very much unleashed all restraint. They are so
00:21:55afraid that the people will rise against them that they are sowing
00:21:59terror there. But people still
00:22:02dare to leave their homes and demonstrate. They are murdered
00:22:05in broad daylight, and they do it. Every normal person's soul
00:22:08recoils at such sights. Yes, do you want to say a word, Itamar? I say
00:22:12to you, if we see the cruelty of this regime towards
00:22:15its own people, I think we need to make
00:22:19a strong argument regarding...
00:22:50But first, hello. But still, friend. Meaning, I
00:22:53friends.
00:22:56You don't report. Come on, we've been in this war
00:23:00for months, day after day after day. We were with you
00:23:04in the difficult moments of your life. So
00:23:06we definitely have a long
00:23:10memory, it's not short. Hello Mazal Moalem, hello. So this
00:23:14is a political headline coming from Gilad Erdan
00:23:17and Edelstein. Let's hear what he said before the
00:23:21launch of, what's his party called? It doesn't have a name yet. It doesn't
00:23:24have a name yet. The question is, does it have a future? Let's see. We'll find out
00:23:27in a moment. Since the Likud representatives
00:23:31no longer represent the Likud voters
00:23:34whom I love so much. Therefore, I
00:23:37announce today the establishment of a new right-wing party
00:23:41under my leadership. Right-wing people who voted
00:23:44for the coalition and don't want to see evasion,
00:23:48and right-wing people in the opposition. Who don't want to see a left-wing
00:23:51government, we are your home.
00:23:55Good, this is,
00:23:58this is a move that is not clear to me. It seems to me that Aksol hints that there is
00:24:02there, there is our Israel, ah our Israel, our Israel,
00:24:05our Israel, yes, okay, I'm
00:24:08sorry, who remembers what Israel
00:24:11One was?
00:24:17Together. Okay, so good. We will memorize
00:24:21the name. This move
00:24:23is truly not entirely clear, because first of all, does this text
00:24:27remind you of something? It reminds me a bit of Gideon Saar when he left
00:24:30the Likud. This is a party that
00:24:34was formed when polls began, and he also modeled it,
00:24:37it's four mandates or
00:24:40less. At the launch, who
00:24:43is the audience for it? Who said four mandates? No, I'm saying I gave it. This
00:24:47is a poll predicting 13 yesterday. They have
00:24:50the electoral threshold. When you start like that, it usually
00:24:54doesn't end well. Who did he connect with? What will happen?
00:24:57We will hear the details soon, Dedi, and he also
00:25:00surely knows the behind-the-scenes of this event called the Third
00:25:04Bloc. Why did all these forces not manage
00:25:07to unite into one party? It didn't
00:25:10happen, and they are running with several leaders. A story of
00:25:13ego.
00:25:16This event with Gilad Erdan is actually preparing for the
00:25:20day after Netanyahu. I don't think he
00:25:23the question is,
00:25:25from within the Likud it would have been easier for him to prepare himself,
00:25:29certainly. Also, Yuli, also Yuli
00:25:32Edelstein, correct me, Mazal. Also Yuli
00:25:35Edelstein and also Gilad Erdan. When it was said
00:25:38that he would form a party, I said this party
00:25:41will go against the Likud, and then he wrote me a WhatsApp and said
00:25:45that I was the only one who said that, because why would
00:25:49I? It was actually the Likud
00:25:52who asked me to do it. I told him, "Come on, I know the behind-the-scenes."
00:25:55God forbid, it's not that I oppose it, I'm in favor of establishing
00:25:59the party, I'm in favor of the truth. The truth is that he
00:26:02was very angry at Katz who was
00:26:06supposed to make him the head of the defense industry and didn't,
00:26:10and Netanyahu didn't fight. So
00:26:12I, but he forgot that he got a job, a lucrative job,
00:26:16so yes, to say that he was in contact with very prominent
00:26:20people who talked to him until the last few days, and some told him, "Why are you
00:26:23doing this? You will run, you will be elected
00:26:26to a position." Yes. You will succeed,
00:26:30you. And he told them, "Right.
00:26:33But Bibi will throw me out, won't give me
00:26:35a position." This is what they heard from him
00:26:39regarding politics. You know what's most missing? Psychologists.
00:26:42In the end, what we see here, how are they
00:26:45different from Lieberman? They are running on the same ticket, Haredim
00:26:49not enlisting, what I noticed,
00:26:52and it will be interesting to see what happens next, that Netanyahu is currently out
00:26:56of his game. He doesn't want to see Netanyahu yet, I wonder
00:26:59when this will happen, or if it's in their
00:27:03arsenal of tools. It's not clear to me what
00:27:06the target is, really. This is a move
00:27:09that when Gideon Saar came out, there were about
00:27:1320 mandates, there was some, it could be, look, Gideon Saar also came
00:27:17out. In the end he joined. Okay, but there was, there was some
00:27:20possibility, you know, there was some audience. Here they are starting
00:27:23some move, it's not clear to me. So who else
00:27:27is in the crumbling bloc, this divided bloc?
00:27:30We, I understand he is doing it in two stages. In the first
00:27:34stage, it's just to say, "Here we came out of the Likud." This is the announcement. It hurts
00:27:38me, ah, it was a long road, really, Gilad Erdan, yes,
00:27:41it must be said, he is one of the pillars of the Likud, you remember him, really,
00:27:4530 years, young Likud, etc.
00:27:47Really, an ideological camp in the Likud.
00:27:51And therefore I think that this is a mistake, if he really
00:27:54looks ahead to the leadership of the national
00:27:57camp, to the leadership of the right, how does he do it
00:28:00at the moment of truth? It could be that he
00:28:03will be, will be the party or a loss
00:28:06of votes that will actually mean he won't join and he won't
00:28:09pass the electoral threshold. So it's just a waste of his political path. It's a shame. There is
00:28:13some gamble here that is really not clear to me. Emotional
00:28:17things, in my opinion, are one thing. Second thing, later
00:28:20they talk about Aliza Bloch and maybe Oren
00:28:24Azariya, but still these are not names. Look, every
00:28:27day there's a new name. You remember the four people
00:28:30that Netanyahu presented yesterday? But they, excuse me, they are not
00:28:34real, they are party functionaries. It's all
00:28:37campaigns. I don't understand why the media publishes
00:28:41such a thing, with all due respect. That's it, so this is, more or less,
00:28:45the story. And we have Hendel and Tropper who are
00:28:49leaning more towards Eisenkot. I call
00:28:52this story "Survivor," it's like the TV show "Survivor." Who will be
00:28:55the last one, who will survive? And yes, I also told Dedi earlier,
00:28:59this event that had the potential for about ten
00:29:02mandates, it got complicated, very complicated. Hello,
00:29:06how are you? I'm fine. Yes. The truth is that
00:29:09you were a very prominent
00:29:13figure, and... with a very
00:29:16high profile, and you joined Gantz who was already, Gantz, he was once
00:29:20Eisenkot. This Eisenkot didn't deliver
00:29:24the goods, next. Now you've joined someone who's already
00:29:28next. I connected with the idea, I connected with the idea.
00:29:31The idea was really to impose unity and to create
00:29:34unity. All this third bloc, I
00:29:38agree with every word Mazal said here. I think
00:29:42that forming another new party was not
00:29:45an event, and therefore connecting to an existing platform.
00:29:49If you wait, they haven't formed yet. All parties, I think
00:29:53another one might emerge, but everyone understands, everyone
00:29:56understands, everyone understands that this is a mistake, and therefore we tried to make
00:29:59connections, by the way, everyone you just surveyed here, I spoke to everyone, I spoke to
00:30:03everyone and tried to connect. I spoke to
00:30:06Edelstein, a lot. I spoke to
00:30:09Gilad. What do they want?
00:30:12Look, people understand, by the way, everyone understands, everyone
00:30:16understands, in this gap,
00:30:19one party needs to be formed, or one list, which can be composed
00:30:23of several parties. Now there are ego problems here. I'll tell you what the problem is, but
00:30:26you also have such problems, so I tell you, first of all, on a
00:30:29personal level, I've already given up on being a number.
00:30:43when we started to connect more people, I said I'm willing to be number four.
00:30:47Ego is not relevant, let's make unity here and no less than
00:30:51four. No, I agree, okay, there's a limit to what we can do, yes, a limit to what
00:30:54we can do, and let's make connections here, and there's a game
00:30:57of ladders and ropes here. Everyone protects
00:31:01their ego. I think that.
00:31:15And this will be their time, they won't understand. Uh, I'll tell you
00:31:18why I agree. I'll tell a story without names.
00:31:22is called first-hand,
00:31:24from a doctor, a politician
00:31:27who was once very senior in Israeli politics, wanted to form
00:31:31a party again. He went to consult with a pollster
00:31:34before he formed the party. He consulted with the pollster and asked him,
00:31:38how many mandates will I get if I form a party? The pollster
00:31:41did a check and told him, 10 mandates, easy. Easy.
00:31:45Easily, and again and again, he paid the pollster for several polls,
00:31:49and he sold him 10 mandates. On the day he formed the party,
00:31:53the pollster presented a poll in one of the studios,
00:31:56and he didn't pass the electoral threshold, zero mandates.
00:32:00And indeed, in the end, he dropped out towards the end. This was Khamitz
00:32:04for the advanced. But in short,
00:32:08what will the polls say? The polls won't tell
00:32:11the truth. The polls are also part of the manipulations that.
00:32:26here in this place, and with you, a lot of experience, and in the last five or six months,
00:32:30I've also gained experience in polls. I already
00:32:32reached seven mandates in one
00:32:36of the polls, even here on your channel. And now we are
00:32:39below the electoral threshold. I say this: I am committed
00:32:42to the idea. I am committed to the idea. I'm not.
00:33:08says "Israel Before Everything" and he means it. And therefore,
00:33:12I'm with him. But I think that in the end, truly, all
00:33:15these lists need to unite into one big thing in order
00:33:19to create unity here. And if not, we will consider
00:33:21other ways.
00:33:24that was at the heart of this idea, it was Dash. Dash
00:33:28ultimately decided. She took mandates, 16
00:33:31mandates they brought. You can join Mansour Bass, look at
00:33:35Segelovich, I think he's taken. Ah, yes, what's
00:33:38your opinion on that, by the way? I know Segelovich, he's a serious guy. I
00:33:41said I'm not familiar with anyone.
00:33:47the Arab parties in their current configuration. I said it.
00:33:50They were angry with me, they were mad as hell, I don't care. The fact
00:33:53that Segelovich, Segelovich is now connecting to Mansour
00:33:57Abbas, it doesn't now whitewash this party
00:34:00that is still connected to the line in all the things they said. I
00:34:03must add something to this. Not Dedi Simhi. I interviewed
00:34:07Yossi Beilin today, and he told me he doesn't like
00:34:11this, the move, the joining of Segelovich
00:34:14with Ra'am. Because in the constitution or in Ra'am's
00:34:17platform, they demand
00:34:21to remove, to annul the right of return, and Beilin says
00:34:24in my view, also not to annul.
00:34:28Who demands
00:34:29their annulment?
00:34:36This is something else. Oh God.
00:34:40They also want all of Palestine and also the right of return.
00:34:42And separate.
00:34:45Therefore he said, you are going to Segelovich,
00:34:48demand that this thing be removed. And therefore,
00:34:52only this is
00:34:53what he demands be removed.
00:34:59politics, I'd be happy to comment. Yes, please, first
00:35:02regarding the story of Ra'am, this thought
00:35:06came together with Segelovich's announcement about national service, but
00:35:10with conditions by Arabs, for the Arab community
00:35:13and under their management.
00:36:18who grew up in a certain party home and leaves it,
00:36:22it leaves a bad taste. I don't understand these people who leave home. You
00:36:25have a home, there are things in it. If you think they are not right, fight,
00:36:29stay in your home and change things. One, two,
00:36:33wait, Mansour Abbas's segment. We,
00:36:36I and our forum, we are still looking, the "Choosing Life" forum,
00:36:40we are looking at him. This is a party
00:36:44that encourages Arab separatism, wants to achieve
00:36:47an independent state here at the expense of the state of Israel in the long run,
00:36:50and their way of doing that is by trickery, by infiltrating
00:36:54our institutions, bringing in Segelovich, bringing in someone like that.
00:36:57Someone else. This is not, the Arab parties are not all the Arab voters, they are only
00:37:01ten mandates. There are many Arab voters. I know Bedouins who vote
00:37:05for Jewish Zionist parties, and this should be
00:37:08our motto in society. I want to say something about the voters and not just about
00:37:11the parties. I say we are a country, in the end, we understand what happens
00:37:15with all these small parties, in the end they connect, and they ultimately determine
00:37:18the policy that exists, and then we all have complaints about why these are like this and why these
00:37:22are like that, yes, and why these are slaughtering, and I say we, the voters, by our own
00:37:25hands, cause the flight. to look like this and in the end
00:37:29and in the end, they blame that small party, no matter who it is,
00:37:32which will ultimately decide what our future will be in the state of Israel. So maybe the voters
00:37:36will wake up once and decide not to give to small
00:37:55a watershed. I connect to the of the system, the
00:37:59current election system, because it is so significant, it is very
00:38:02significant, and this will be, uh, will
00:38:05you ultimately compromise on this issue,
00:38:08Haredim who do not enlist, or
00:38:12a government. I want to propose
00:38:15another alternative. I don't want to live according to what dictates
00:38:19my thoughts. I want to think
00:38:22that a unity government should be formed here.
00:38:24Good, they tried to do it.
00:38:45I think what both of you said just now is the point. The idea was to create a list that would compel, enforce,
00:38:49that's the word, enforce unity. I'm not giving up on hard
00:38:52work. We're talking to more people, even with the existing parties now, we're
00:38:56talking and people are. Right and left in their
00:38:59opinions.
00:39:03People, what, I even talk to Aled Shaked, who also talks to many
00:39:06people, and, it's unpleasant to say, she's also no longer,
00:39:09I'm not, this is one of the strange things that happened
00:39:12here, that no new figures entered, except for you
00:39:16and a few others. This is a burden. I just want to say one thing: I intend
00:39:19to influence in any case, in any case. I'm not
00:39:22going to let everything that happened here at the end, all
00:39:25the children.
00:39:49After less than a minute, he was removed from there in disgrace, to
00:39:53boos. Even his forced smile couldn't hide his embarrassment. disgrace.
00:40:22ladies and gentlemen are you ready for some more
00:40:24dancing oh
00:40:29Okay, he is the mayor, he has supporters,
00:40:32but there's a big wave
00:40:36now in the United States, a wave
00:40:38of disillusionment, including following yesterday's events
00:40:41in Michigan, where he won by only 1500 votes, on this side,
00:40:45he defeated his other rival, also
00:40:49from the Democratic Party, and they even say
00:40:52that Democrats will vote for the Republican candidate in the competition
00:40:56that will be there in the end. A word about America, America following
00:40:59Europe, America is deteriorating, how
00:41:02from Madani, that was the beginning, and we saw how everyone praised and lifted and raised
00:41:06their hands and clapped everyone, shameless. He
00:41:09was, he did his part, and he took the stage, yes, also
00:41:13Jews, mainly Jews, by the way, which, if anything makes me more
00:41:16sad, it's Jews who live there, it's more saddening
00:41:19than Americans themselves, by the way, that our brothers
00:41:22vote for such an antisemite. Tell me, do you sometimes listen to Bernie
00:41:26Sanders? I feel
00:41:28like he's our brother.
00:41:33Israel. I hope, I don't know. That there's
00:41:37also some reaction to some kind of difficulty.
00:41:40who left New York, went to Miami, went to Miami,
00:41:44because of Madani. There was also an event,
00:41:47of the Seven Twins who told him they didn't
00:41:50want him to, yes, what an event, a petition of tens
00:41:54of thousands warning him not to come to speak
00:41:56on September 11. It's unpleasant to say, yes, it's pleasant to say,
00:42:00as someone who, you know, is built, it's
00:42:04networks, in today's networks you can be built as some kind of figure,
00:42:07today we are in the era of lies. You don't
00:42:11really need to do things, you make a video and you
00:42:14say you did things, you become a star. Today,
00:42:18they're stuck with him now, they're stuck with him. What will he do, when the Prime Minister
00:42:21comes to New York? He asked, there's no
00:42:25legal ability. Also, the thing that truly
00:42:28stresses me out, and I assume not just me, is that Jews
00:42:32are becoming targets. It won't be long
00:42:35until there's some, 10% of hate
00:42:39crimes.
00:42:41To everyone who is planning and leaving Israel, consider
00:42:45that Jews in Europe and the United States are persecuted
00:42:48today, unfortunately. Later in the broadcast, we have a very special interview with
00:42:52someone who went through a serious fight abroad. The event he was expelled from
00:42:56in Staten Island is a traditional event that has been happening for over 40 years
00:42:59in the United States. Everyone comes out, it's called "National Night Out." They sit for
00:43:03the rule of law. Now, this is a man who came out with "Defund the Police,"
00:43:07stop funding the police in 2020. And he came to Staten
00:43:10Island. Out of the five boroughs of New York, this is the only borough where he completely lost
00:43:14the election, he only had 25% support. And he came
00:43:18there on this day when people come to strengthen the police forces, to praise
00:43:22the action against crime. And he, who spoke so much
00:43:25against it, comes to his toughest borough, and is booed
00:43:28and humiliated. His situation is deteriorating. We see
00:43:32his mask has been removed. He
00:43:35is a Madani supporter. Look, he identifies with Hamas, he identifies with
00:43:38the struggle of terror.
00:44:11Our identification with one side of the political map
00:44:17and the almost automatic opposition of the other side, which was not the case in the past, is going
00:44:20to be a big challenge. It always was, always.
00:44:23Today it was once the Republicans against us and the Democrats
00:44:27for us. The Republicans were conservatives. I was a political
00:44:31correspondent for many years. There always was such a thing. There was Obama, there
00:44:34was Clinton. There were these, there were others.
00:44:38All that everyone, this is America.
00:44:41There are wonderful and sane people in the Democrats, and there
00:44:45is a new kind of Democrat who understood that even if he's not
00:44:48like that, he wants to join the power
00:44:52base, the voter base. In
00:44:55Michigan, you'll see what happens in the city of Dearborn, you'll be shocked. But
00:44:59you're right, America is changing. But what's happening here with us, because
00:45:03of the division and the political split, there
00:45:06are those who basically have self-incrimination, which is why. In Israel,
00:45:17there is no foreign policy, there is only domestic policy. This is part of it. Let's trash Israel,
00:45:21as long as we win here, and after us, the deluge.
00:45:24This week, Yitzik Zuarz published a video of a couple with their three
00:45:28children looting stores in Eilat, a video that caused a big
00:45:32stir online. Today, it turns out that the couple has a history
00:45:40Hello, hello, Ayela, the strange couple. Let's watch the
00:45:43footage together and describe the incident from the report you already
00:45:47broadcast in the news, about Eilat. Let's see, here's their journey
00:45:50in Eilat, and it started exactly a month ago
00:45:54at the Itay Baranes store in the Eilat Mall. Eliran
00:45:57is seen here holding clothes he collected in the store. He walks around,
00:46:01observes, and waits for the moment when the saleswoman turns her
00:46:04gaze away. Then he quickly puts the clothes into the bag that was on the baby carrier
00:46:08and leaves.
00:46:12Yes, they're doing some serious shopping there, they just forget
00:46:16to pay, and... as they say, they were caught
00:46:19and documented. And what new information do you have for us today?
00:46:23Yes, look, absolutely. First of all, we broadcast the, we exposed these footages at the beginning
00:46:27of the week. Their journey, we broadcast a long report of five minutes, only from one
00:46:31day, out of their week in Eilat. They stole a total
00:46:34of products worth 100,000 shekels. And following this broadcast,
00:46:38Ayela, millions of views online. And also inquiries received
00:46:41by the system from additional victims of this couple, Eliran
00:46:45and Sivan Buchman. One of the people who contact
00:46:48us also sends us security camera footage. Tonight,
00:46:52we will broadcast it. These two with their children came
00:46:56to his store two and a half years ago, to his gadget
00:47:00store in Hadera, and stole electrical products
00:47:03and gadgets from there. All the footage at 8
00:47:06in the news. In the past, 20 indictments were filed
00:47:09against them. Last week, another 15 were filed against them.
00:47:13These people are not deterred by anything. Come see a clip from the report
00:47:17we will broadcast tonight, please. You know, I bought
00:47:21some games last week.
00:47:26In the evening, he and his two children
00:47:29and his wife, and they started bothering the
00:47:31salesman. He came with a bag, he always comes with a bag like that, a padded
00:47:35bag with metals, so even if there were
00:47:38buzzers, it wouldn't beep. And he puts it on his shoulder, and then he goes
00:47:42looking for an angle where there's no field of view, takes down
00:47:45the product first, puts it on the shelf,
00:47:49and he looks, and then he sends his wife to distract the salesman and the
00:47:52children, and puts it in the bag and leaves
00:47:55just like that.
00:47:58What, you know what hurts me in this whole incident is that they took
00:48:01their children. These children shouldn't be
00:48:05involved there. You want to steal, that's your
00:48:08way. Why are you crying with the children, for God's sake? What about the name?
00:48:12Exactly, Ayela. Look, that's why millions of people watched these videos,
00:48:16not just because they put some clothes in a bag, but because of the truly
00:48:20cynical use, the exploitation of the children. Yes, who
00:48:23would suspect a family with children? Yes, Itzik Zohar, the full footage
00:48:27in the news right after us. Thank you very much.
00:48:31Thank you, Itzik. Thank you. Retired Commissioner, Exol,
00:48:35ostensibly, it's not some great crime that the police.
00:48:39Documented, filmed, boom, bang. There's nothing even to admit, it's
00:48:42all filmed. No, I'll tell you what the problem is, this offense is theft. The
00:48:46offense of theft in the penal code, one of the lighter offenses, is up to three years
00:48:49imprisonment. If he gets, you know what? About two months
00:48:53suspended, we'll all be happy, but more serious is the damage caused to businessmen.
00:48:57We don't take them into account. You know that not only here
00:49:01are there thefts of alcohol from supermarkets. Imagine now everyone
00:49:05just stealing three such bottles of whiskey worth, let's say, do the
00:49:08math yourself, how many such cycles for several thousand shekels do they do,
00:49:12and everyone will calculate for themselves the damage to the business.
00:49:15Friends, what can I tell you? Thefts
00:49:18have happened and will happen, unfortunately.
00:49:22affected by the children in this matter. Thank you very much.
00:49:25Thank you. After completing combat service in the paratroopers,
00:49:29Uriya went on a trip to the East. A hostile Spanish tourist,
00:49:32larger than him, realizing that he was Israeli,
00:49:35attacked him. But Uriya showed him what he was made of, and, to put it
00:49:39mildly, subdued him with a few blows. The video of the fight
00:49:43between the two went viral. Let's watch a short clip and immediately get to
00:49:46Uriya.
00:49:52Tell
00:50:16me what that scoundrel wanted from you, because he understood that you
00:50:18are Israeli. Yes, he had a little.
00:50:22Israelis 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,
00:50:30encounter with
00:50:34arrive at the scene and what happens? Yes.
00:50:38So the police arrive at the scene and understand very quickly
00:50:42what happened there.
00:50:44They load him onto the pickup truck, take him to the police station
00:50:47and tell me to accompany them to the confrontation to explain
00:50:51what happened there.
00:50:54No need to say that at that moment I'm still on adrenaline, stressed, I don't really
00:50:57understand what's happening and
00:51:01and we're sitting like that at a table and a policeman just comes and bangs on the table
00:51:04and shouts at me, "Who are you really? Who are you to fight here
00:51:08in my country? This is not your place!" And I at that moment don't understand what's
00:51:11happening and so I explain to him for five minutes that I just
00:51:14went into the bathroom and he identified me as a target
00:51:17as a Jew.
00:51:20And so he also had five minutes after
00:51:32that he was released.
00:51:35I broke my finger and so after that I returned to the police
00:51:38station and the police decided that there would be a public apology
00:51:42and compensation. Like, I demanded it and they
00:51:45agreed. So, what compensation
00:51:48did you receive?
00:51:51Money. Okay, tell me, were
00:51:54you alone?
00:51:57Uh, at that moment I was alone, but right after the incident, so
00:52:01a second after I left him, so I drove to our villa, to the apartment.
00:52:06And friends who were playing cards exactly then, so I called everyone
00:52:08and everyone came, we went back there and so we held him until
00:52:12the police arrived. He really begged me, like
00:52:16he said, "I'm sorry, just let me go from here." And I said, "There's no way."
00:52:20What happened to him? He thought you were so thin
00:52:24and he was so muscular. What do
00:52:26you do? Is this from the army or did you learn, what's it called,
00:52:30Krav Maga or something?
00:52:33So no, I did a little MMA, Thai
00:52:37boxing, self-defense with my brothers when I was
00:52:41young. They beat me up a little at home, I beat them up.
00:52:43As they say, life prepared you for this event.
00:52:45Were you scared? Yes.
00:52:49If I was scared at that moment, let's just say that when you believe
00:52:52that you are strong in your Jewish spirit, that you know that
00:52:56you will finish him, no matter what happens, then he
00:53:00just, let's say, gave the reason for it
00:53:03to end like this. Yes, good. He won't mess with Israelis anymore.
00:53:07Uriya, well done. As they say, they messed
00:53:10with you, you didn't choose this, and you gave him back twice as much. Well
00:53:14done, thank you very much for being here, absolutely, with
00:53:36Fine, I got 720. Great,
00:53:38sweetie. 720?
00:53:42Champions. Mom, this is not, 720. Yali, he's not
00:53:46like everyone else. Yali, well done. Mom told me, you're going
00:53:49to 8200. 720,
00:53:53720,
00:53:55720.
00:53:58You might be a little confused. 720 is the Ministry of Education's new program
00:54:01for personalized learning, with the help of artificial intelligence. In the coming year,
00:54:057th and 8th graders will learn English in a system specifically developed
00:54:08for us. This will also happen in science and mathematics. The State of Israel
00:54:11is a world leader in integrating artificial intelligence in the education system.
00:54:15Program 720 presents a new approach to personalized learning and teaching.
00:54:19Students learn at their own pace, and teachers have more time for individual
00:54:22attention. 360 for students, 360
00:54:25for teachers. Program 720 leads Israel to
00:54:28reality. So Yali didn't get 720. Much better than that. My champion.
00:54:32My champion.
00:54:35Tell me, are you coming to the north now? Especially now, come.
