00:01:29occupy all the products of
00:02:36island of Mayun at the entrance of some recent allegations concerning pick x mountain in iran
00:02:39along with the latest developments in Yemen. Other
00:02:42topics included Britain's decision to boycot
00:02:46Israel west bank products and new information that has been
00:02:49surfaced concerning warning made to Benjamin Netanyahu's prior
00:02:53to the alaxa flood operation. We will
00:02:55discuss these deeper into these topics with General
00:02:59Elias.
00:03:30to go for the option of dragging the Americans into another
00:03:33major campaign. We are talking about a report that has been released
00:03:36by Reuters news agency and also by CNN, which indicate
00:03:40renewed construction activity on
00:03:43so since the declaration of Mount Qaz, the most fortified nuclear site of the Iranian regime.
00:03:46Satellite images published yesterday by CNN.
00:03:49Now do you see these images? Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the IAEA, the
00:03:53agency for nuclear control, confirms he says: We see movement
00:03:57around this site, which, as mentioned, was not bombed by us. And not by
00:04:00the Iranians in the two rounds of war in the last year. Meanwhile,
00:04:04just in the last few minutes, a report from the Wall Street Journal talks about
00:04:07the construction and assembly of ballistic missiles
00:04:11in Iran at underground sites that were not affected by either the Americans or
00:04:15the Israelis. They identify a willingness of the Iranians to rebuild the production
00:04:18line of these missiles at underground sites so that they cannot
00:04:22be hit. But the Americans, the people who are talking to both CNN
00:04:26and CNN in recent days, are sending all the messages that we will know that
00:05:00facilities inside it and it's so fortified
00:05:03that needs the special kind of bombs
00:05:06and this domain
00:05:09the United States Army conducted.
00:05:12training in New Mexico state in the United States near
00:05:15Arizona, where there are mountains looks
00:05:19like the look like the the
00:05:22pickaxe in Iran and they
00:05:25start bombing it, but so far no
00:05:28details about the bombs used or the outcome of this
00:05:32bombing or this training, but you
00:05:34know that some the national media, CNN and Routers,
00:05:38they published reports about the...
00:05:42fortified
00:05:45pickax mountain and the possibility of
00:05:48nuclear facilities inside or
00:05:52conventional ballistic missiles so are we seeing
00:05:56some kind of escalation because of this? that will be
00:05:59a pretext ready for any escalation by the United
00:06:03States, it will be used along with
00:06:06other pretext in order escalate the
00:06:09situation by the United States.
00:06:42they will be able to completely block the shipping in Bab al-Mandab. Currently, they
00:06:46fire from deep within the territory using drones and guided missiles,
00:06:50coastal anti-ship missiles. These are complex, expensive means that require
00:06:53the activation of radar systems that are exposed to American fire,
00:06:57and therefore this is a quite significant operational challenge for them,
00:07:00which leads to relatively low volumes of fire and hits. If they were to sit on
00:07:04the coast and on the islands and the sea lanes in Bab al-Mandab, which are even narrower
00:07:07than those in Hormuz, any wire team armed with
00:07:11standard missiles
00:07:44and occupying the
00:07:49the Red Sea and
00:07:51the strait of Bab al Mandab.
00:07:54Now, they, they
00:07:57occupied the and
00:08:01the the area and they pulled
00:08:03out
00:08:06about 13 brigades from the army that's
00:08:10related to the government.
00:08:12for the Israel in particular, how bad the situation is? This is very bad
00:08:16because the the Yemenis are able to close the
00:08:20strait of
00:08:22of any any time and with
00:08:25any with any place either with machine guns or
00:08:29with mortars or with drones or with
00:08:32ballistic missiles, it's very easy, but so far
00:08:35the the Yemen is declared that it's only
00:08:39prohibited for the Saudi Arabia to which which threats.
00:08:43the the security of Israel. But general, do you think that at this
00:08:47point the Israeli might go to attack the Yemen
00:08:50from the Somali land? They they already attacked the
00:08:54Yemen several times during the last war
00:08:57and of these times they killed the
00:09:00prime minister and about five or six ministers and they assassinated
00:09:04the chief of staff and they destroyed the refineries
00:09:08in Hodeidah and Rasa and
00:09:11others places. So they did nothing and now
00:09:15the the Yemenis,
00:09:18mean activated
00:09:21their forces and now they launched this sudden
00:09:25attack which was really a surprise for the international
00:09:28community. The Yemeni developments meanwhile
00:09:32also attracted widespread attention on Israeli social
00:09:35media, Hadshot Moket, despite
00:09:39the United States expanding its intelligence assistance. Saudi
00:09:42Arabia in its war against the Houthi's, they are increasing their
00:09:46control by land and sea.
00:09:50The Houthi's military achievements in Yemen threaten to cut off the
00:09:54movement of oil tankers through the Bab al-Mandab
00:09:57strait, with Saudi Arabia being the most
00:10:00affected. Yuri. The Houthi's
00:10:03takeover of areas near the Bab strait is
00:10:06increasing, and this is worrying for us and for the
00:10:09world. While Trump rejected Crown Prince Mohammed
00:10:13Salman's request to participate in confronting the
00:10:15Houthis.
00:10:18General, yes, do you think that the Israel is should be
00:10:22concerned that the Trump administration in a way has
00:10:25refused the Saudi Arabia request for a more
00:10:28active help in Yemen? Yes, website
00:10:31published that Prince Mohammed bin
00:10:34Salman called the President Trump twice and asked
00:10:38him to attack the Houthis before
00:10:41they reach the Al
00:10:44Mukha and then Mandab in
00:10:47the city of Dubab. But
00:10:51the President Trump rejected
00:10:55demand and said that he had deal with the
00:10:58Yemenis not to attack them. This deal was
00:11:02stuck in the early 2025,
00:11:06after one after 50 days of United
00:11:09States attacks on the Yemenis, there was
00:11:11a an agreement or
00:11:15deal brokered by
00:11:18Oman of which the
00:11:21the the Yemenis allow the...
00:11:25the American ships to pass through Bab el
00:11:29Mandab against the United States stop any
00:11:32aggression against the Yemenis
00:11:35which is now valid now and enforced. But isn't it
00:11:39a sign General Elias that uh Trump the the
00:11:43US could escalate against Iran?
00:11:46Uh, yes. In the mind of President
00:11:49Trump, in the mind of President Trump, uh, I don't
00:11:53think that he is satisfied with this
00:11:57economic war and he is
00:12:00prepare preparing something military or against Iran
00:12:04because you know that he all the
00:12:07times he surprised us, surprised Iran, surprised the
00:12:11world with the world, maybe he will surprise us
00:12:13again.
00:12:16Iran and its allies are seeking escalation. This
00:12:19according to Israeli analysts who mentioned specifically Hezbollah
00:12:23and Hamas in addition to Iran.
00:12:30a political dilemma, and this the Prime Minister will have to accept as a decision.
00:12:34Look, Maggie, in the north, Hezbollah is looking for escalation. We see Hezbollah's conduct
00:12:37in recent weeks, especially in recent days. They are looking for
00:12:41a trigger. From their perspective, any move Israel makes will be a justification
00:12:44to come and say, "Israel started it, we are just responding."
00:12:48In Iran, there is already clear data. The International Atomic Energy Agency is also reporting
00:12:52today about movement in that same mountain that Trump already
00:12:56threatened to bomb in the past but did not bomb it. And there are also statements
00:12:58and indications that Iran is making considerable efforts
00:13:02to renew its ballistic missile project. And if we look for a moment
00:13:05at a wider range also in the strips, then Hamas is looking for
00:13:09a trigger to ignite an event. Everyone wants to ignite the arena for a
00:13:12simple reason: first, direct intervention in what is happening in Israel; second, to bring the war
00:13:16back to the agenda. This is much better for the Iranians than to continue
00:13:19to suffer the economic strangulation that Trump is imposing on them.
00:13:23We need to be those.
00:13:55"The Gaza Strip are occupied by the Israeli forces
00:13:59and Israel did not abide by the ceasefire
00:14:03was declared by President Trump on the board of peace,
00:14:08the cease-fire, until now, more than 1,300
00:14:12people were dead under
00:14:14the attacks of the Israeli drones and all
00:14:18planes as well as
00:14:21mortars and snipers. So..."
00:14:25to say General Elias, does the Israeli wants to go
00:14:29for a large scale war more than the axis of resistance at this at this
00:14:33stage? I think that they don't want a
00:14:37large scale war because a large
00:14:40scale on all the fronts, Gaza,
00:14:43Lebanon, Iran, and maybe Iraq will take part
00:14:47and Yemen will take part, it's not in their favor now, you
00:14:50see, but they they want to, as
00:14:53they did, before, they want to
00:14:56escalate each front alone without
00:15:00combining the two fronts to each other to have them as
00:15:04separate,
00:15:07but do they? Yes, can they separate them?
00:15:10Yes, yes, they can escalate in
00:15:12Gaza, then escalate in South Lebanon? About Iran,
00:15:16its calculation are
00:15:19related to the United States because they can't
00:15:23launch an offensive against. Without the partnership of the
00:15:27United States.
00:15:29Britain's decision to boycott settlement products in the occupied
00:15:33West Bank continues to be wildly discussed. An official and
00:16:07can certainly change. The British Foreign Secretary, when he issued
00:16:10this announcement, he stated that between six and nine months, they
00:16:14would create the regulations and the legal framework. Meaning, this
00:16:18is not an immediate event, but an event of legislation that could take, let's say, around
00:16:21a year. Let's say it's enacted. Okay, what happens at this stage? What
00:16:25are the implications? I cannot go into the implications because we don't know exactly how it will look,
00:16:29but initially, companies that export
00:16:32beyond the Green Line will find it difficult to export
00:16:36their products and services.
00:16:46do you think Britain could could reverse this decision or not
00:16:50implemented? No, I think that it will
00:16:54prevented, because it's a partial decision, that
00:16:57means that it's a decision by the UK government along
00:17:01with another 10 European countries plus Canada in order to
00:17:06the... settlements in the West Bank.
00:17:10So I think this affects
00:17:13Israel a certain extent, but
00:17:17what's wanted exactly is to cancel
00:17:20the the trade partnership between the European
00:17:23Union and Israel if they cancel the the agreement
00:17:27of trade partnership that
00:17:31will undermine the
00:17:34the trade between Israel and the Europe.
00:17:37European Union. Now, it is a partial
00:17:41measure that will affect to a certain extent the Israeli
00:17:44economy, especially in the settlements in the West Bank. But what
00:17:48about the US not criticizing this decision by the
00:17:52Britains?
00:17:54United States Secretary of State Pompeo
00:17:57disapproved this decision and said
00:18:01he would never join such decisions here,
00:18:03but they consider that the trade
00:18:07with will,
00:18:09mean,
00:18:12will replace all the losses by
00:18:15the European Union, and America did not condemn this
00:18:19decision. The US didn't condemn this
00:18:23decision by the Britains.
00:18:25Just released by
00:18:29Secretary of State,
00:18:31yes, they said this approved it, but
00:18:35they didn't take any measures against
00:18:38the the UK and the European
00:18:40countries, because they are, I think they are
00:18:44relying on the partial effect of
00:18:47this, this this boycottage on the
00:18:51Israeli trade. But is this some kind of unprecedented
00:18:54attention between the Israeli and Europe? Yes, there
00:18:58is a difference, because we go back about six months ago
00:19:02when
00:19:05United Kingdom, France and other European
00:19:09countries recognized the state of Palestine and now you have
00:19:13154 countries in the United Nations
00:19:16recognize the state of Palestine. Only
00:19:20Germany and Italy did not
00:19:23recognize. So now this is
00:19:26a great dispute between
00:19:29the UK, France from one side and Israel from the other side. But
00:19:33how important the European support for the
00:19:36Israelis? You know that when Israel was
00:19:40founded, it was founded by Europe and trade
00:19:44and and all everything and even in the armed
00:19:47forces and the arms and
00:19:50the Air Force and all were from the
00:19:54France and from the United Kingdom and sometimes from
00:19:58Germany. So I
00:20:01think now they shifted all
00:20:02the
00:20:06the the the economy or the... military towards the United States,
00:20:10but there is still, there is still an effect to Europe and
00:20:14the Israel policy. So Israel is affected. Yes,
00:20:17it is affected, but it will be
00:20:20affected more when the European Union
00:20:24cancel the the the agreement
00:20:27of partner trade partnership between
00:20:31the EU and Israel. But do you expect more European
00:20:35measures or more European countries
00:20:38joining such actions? There should
00:20:41be. About 26 countries, only 11 out
00:20:44of 26. This is small
00:20:48number, should be. But you know there are Germany,
00:20:51Germany and Italy, they did not join even
00:20:55the the or
00:20:58the recognition of the Palestine state.
00:21:01Netanyahu's reputation has been severely tarnished
00:21:04after recent revelations concerning the October
00:21:077 attacks. According to those revelations, Netanyahu
00:21:11concealed information that was shared with him by the head of
00:21:15Shin Bet.
00:21:20despite many conversations,
00:21:24I connect this to information,
00:21:27at least information that was in October 23 from Smadar
00:21:30Peri about a similar warning in those days
00:21:33from the Egyptian direction. We also see
00:21:37today and hear today and also before
00:21:40in publications that Ronen Bar precisely in those days, the head
00:21:44of the Shin Bet came and warned.
00:21:47We know the warnings of the IDF.
00:21:50But if this information is correct, that it was not
00:21:54through some head of department or through someone else, but
00:21:57a direct conversation that was indeed held, then
00:22:00I can say here in a very clear way,
00:22:04that every person on the list of casualties
00:22:08and wounded is on his hands. If he did not
00:22:11share it with the security system
00:22:14and did not give them this information so that they too could look
00:22:18and perhaps connect it to things that exist despite
00:22:22their other failures, assuming that their other failures,
00:22:25assuming everything Shlomi says is correct, and he himself
00:22:29says he has full documentation and evidence, then there is
00:22:33a scandal here,
00:22:36every ear should be shocked
00:22:39when hearing these things, and I assume
00:22:42that now the Har'el machine is looking for
00:22:45how to defend itself.
00:22:50have major impact on Netanyahu's chances
00:22:53in the Knesset elections. Yes, it is measure
00:22:57used by the opposition against Netanyahu and
00:23:00when we notice the timing of this issue
00:23:04that before October 7, which is the third
00:23:07anniversary of the October 7 attack and
00:23:11before about 25, 20 days from
00:23:15the Israeli elections,
00:23:17now Haris Daily published story
00:23:21that Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the President of UAE
00:23:25called Netanyahu for 40
00:23:27hours for 40 minutes and told him that he has
00:23:31intelligence
00:23:33that Yahya Sinwar and Hamas are
00:23:37planning to cross the borders and
00:23:41enter the settlements in the neighborhood of
00:23:45Gaza and he assured
00:23:47him that his intelligence.
00:23:51accurate and sources are accurate. But
00:23:54as daily said that
00:23:58Netanyahu neglected this and did not refer it to
00:24:02the intelligence agencies in order to examine
00:24:06it or to take measures. This will
00:24:08affect the image of Netanyahu
00:24:11and in the elections and make a
00:24:14situation more weak than before. But why would
00:24:18Netanyahu do that? "I think
00:24:21that he he do not
00:24:24respect any Arab report from any Arab countries,
00:24:28especially from the Emirates, they consider them that they have
00:24:31money, nothing else.
00:24:34So he neglects all the
00:24:37political or the intelligence that
00:24:40come from them, as if he overpower their political themselves
00:24:44and he is underestimating their
00:24:47ability to get intelligence." and send
00:24:50them. But could he lose the election because of
00:24:53this? Yes, it will affect the the the
00:24:57elections. Now you all all the,
00:25:00mean, the polls say that it's swinging
00:25:04between both sides, between Netanyahu and Gadi
00:25:07Eisenkot. But so every party is
00:25:10using whatever means in order
00:25:14to affect to the other one, to push to their side. Yes. How about
00:25:17his opposition with Eisenkot has been?
00:25:20A trend lately with the polls that's saying that Eisenkot has
00:25:23high chances in front of Netanyahu and his party. Yes,
00:25:27Eisenkot relies on the
00:25:30the the the mistakes and the misconduct
00:25:34of Mr. Netanyahu, starting from October
00:25:377 and starting from committing massacres
00:25:41and his name is now wanted by the ICC,
00:25:44International Criminal Court and
00:25:48his relations with
00:25:50Turkey
00:25:53now and he did not promote
00:25:56the this peace Abraham
00:25:59accords with the Arabs and so there are many many
00:26:02many issues that they consider
00:26:06Netanyahu failed to
00:26:09to achieve it to gain
00:26:12back the trust of his people. But why these polls are trying to show
00:26:16that people prefer Eisenkot over Naftali Bennett as the
00:26:20other they
00:26:21prefer to to to
00:26:25let then they want to replace it by Eisenkot
00:26:29then they want to replace it by Eisenkot or any other. Now,
00:26:32the opposition, they agreed on Eisen
00:26:36Kot as the the one to replace them.
00:26:40But the main issue is that they want to
00:30:21reminder of our top stories. Iran's IAEAM voice
00:30:24slams the International Atomic Energy Agency for referring Iran's
00:30:28nuclear file to the Security Council, saying the move has no legal.
00:30:33The Yemeni armed forces said they have conducted a large scale military
00:30:37operation against the key Saudi airbase in the country
00:30:40southwestern city of Khamis Mushayt.
