The Pulse of Israel

French President Emmanuel Macron made an extraordinary claim at the United Nations: Hamas has “never been active in the West Bank”, Judea and Samaria.That claim is a total lie, contradicted by Hamas's documented history of terrorist networks and attacks in Judea and Samaria. But Macron's statement is only the beginning of this story.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the much bigger historical and ideological questions surrounding the Palestinian national movement, the PLO, Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union.Former Romanian intelligence chief and Soviet-bloc defector Ion Mihai Pacepa made explosive claims about the KGB's role in creating and supporting the PLO, shaping its international image and grooming Arafat as its leader. Pacepa even claimed Soviet intelligence helped reconstruct Arafat's biography and transform the Palestinian cause into a Soviet-style “national liberation” struggle. And that raises a question Western leaders rarely confront:How much did Soviet political warfare contribute to the international narrative surrounding Israel and the Palestinians?The video also examines the Palestinian Authority, its education system, payments connected to imprisoned and deceased Palestinians involved in attacks, and the continuing ideological struggle over Israel's legitimacy.Macron's statement about Hamas deserves scrutiny. But focusing exclusively on Hamas risks missing the much larger debate over the history, ideology and objectives of the Palestinian national movement itself.Watch. Think.

A reported Israeli assessment raises serious questions about Lebanon's commitment to disarming Hezbollah. According to Israel's Channel 14, an Israeli political official claims that elements of the Lebanese Army may actually be coordinating with Hezbollah.After decades of failed security arrangements, Israel faces a fundamental question: Can it entrust its northern security to Lebanon, the United Nations and international guarantees?Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. Following the 2006 Lebanon War, UN Security Council Resolution 1701 called for southern Lebanon to remain free of unauthorized armed forces. Yet Hezbollah subsequently expanded its military infrastructure, backed by Iran.Now, with renewed concerns about Lebanese Army cooperation with Hezbollah, the future of Israel's northern border is once again under debate.But there is another dimension to this story: biblical history.Joshua describes the inheritance of the tribe of Asher extending toward Sidon and Tyre. Jewish communities existed in southern Lebanon for centuries. Early Zionist leaders also advocated a northern frontier extending toward the Litani River.Could permanent Israeli control of southern Lebanon, potentially accompanied by sovereignty and renewed Jewish communities, provide a different security framework?This discussion explores the reported intelligence assessments, the history of Israel's northern border, Hezbollah's military presence, the limitations of international security guarantees and the biblical connections between the Jewish people and southern Lebanon.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Extraordinary developments across the Middle East are raising serious questions.President Donald Trump unexpectedly shortened his stay at Camp David last week and returned to Washington. Meanwhile, American embassies issued security warnings amid concerns about Iranian threats, regional escalation and possible disruptions to international travel.Iran-backed Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia added to the regional tensions.At the same time, before Yom Kippur, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined thousands of Jews at the Western Wall for Selichot prayers, praying for the protection and success of our heroic IDF soldiers and security forces. Reports also indicated significant changes to Netanyahu's planned American itinerary surrounding his United Nations speech.Are these developments connected? Is something major approaching?We don't know. And speculation isn't helpful.But there is something much more important that every Jew should understand.On Yom Kippur, Jews worldwide recite the powerful words of Unetaneh Tokef: "Who shall live and who shall die…"For the Jewish people, especially after October 7, these words carry extraordinary meaning.We have experienced devastating tragedy. We have witnessed incredible courage. And we have witnessed miracles.As an IDF reservist who continues to serve through this war, I know how essential our military strength, vigilance and preparedness are.But I also know that our ultimate protection comes from Hashem.Our responsibility is to strengthen both our physical defenses and our spiritual foundations: faith, Jewish identity, unity and our connection to God.Whatever happens next, we must remember who we are, why we are here and Who ultimately protects us.May Hashem protect our soldiers, our families, the Jewish people and all innocent people.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Why are leading national conservative thinkers from around the world coming to Jerusalem?Pulse of Israel's Avi Abelow sat down with Avital Levi to discuss the upcoming National Conservatism Conference in Jerusalem—an international gathering bringing together influential conservative voices from Israel and across the globe.But this conference is about much more than politics.It is about the fundamental questions facing nations today: What holds a society together? Why does national identity matter? What role should faith, family, tradition and history play in shaping a country's future? And what happens when societies disconnect themselves from the values and heritage upon which they were built?Israel has a unique role in this conversation.The Jewish people returned to our indigenous, ancestral homeland after thousands of years of exile and rebuilt a sovereign Jewish state in the land where so many of the Biblical ideas that shaped Western civilization were first lived.That gives Jerusalem extraordinary significance as the location for this international gathering.Israelis have much to learn from national conservative movements around the world and how other countries are confronting questions of sovereignty, national identity, immigration, family, religion and Western civilization.But those international leaders also have something to learn from Israel: how ancient Biblical concepts of peoplehood, faith, national responsibility and connection to a homeland continue to influence a modern nation.In this fascinating conversation, Avi Abelow and Avital Levi discuss why these thinkers are gathering in Jerusalem, what Israelis can learn from them and what Israel can offer the world.Watch, share and join the conversation.To attend the upcoming NATCON conference in Jerusalem with a special Pulse of Israel discount:Registration - National Conservatism Conference, Jerusalem 2026nationalconservatism.orgDiscount code: PULSE30Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Something dramatic just happened in Israel—and nobody is talking about it.Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to prepare for the possibility of “all-out war” against the Palestinian Authority if PA security forces launch—or Israel knows they are about to launch—an October 7-style attack against Israeli communities and IDF forces.Think about what that means.For 30 years, the world has demanded that Israel treat the Palestinian Authority as a “peace partner” and the foundation of a future Palestinian state.Now Israel is preparing for the possibility of fighting the PA's own armed security forces.The danger is particularly alarming because of geography. Unlike Gaza, Palestinian Authority-controlled areas in Judea and Samaria sit immediately adjacent to major Israeli population centers. Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, Petah Tikva, Rosh Ha'ayin and other Israeli cities could face a radically different threat environment if PA forces ever turned their weapons against Israel.October 7 taught Israel a devastating lesson: knowing an enemy is building military capabilities is not enough. Waiting for an attack can have catastrophic consequences.So Israel must confront a critical question:If the threat from the Palestinian Authority is serious enough to prepare for all-out war, what should Israel do about that threat before another October 7 scenario becomes possibleThirty years after the Oslo Accords, the debate over the Palestinian Authority, Israeli security and the future of Judea and Samaria may be entering a fundamentally different phase.Watch and share.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

My heart aches.Hours before the Yom Kippur holiday, the holiest day to the Jewish people, while I was out on IDF reserve patrol in the Judean Hills, we were placed on heightened alert after a deadly shooting attack near the Jewish community of Neve Tzuf in the Binyamin region of Samaria.Then came the devastating news: Netanel Shakron הי״ד, a father of six from Alei Zahav, had been murdered.The circumstances are heartbreaking.On the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, Netanel went with his eldest son to a natural spring to immerse and spiritually prepare himself for the holy day.A terrorist opened fire.Netanel was murdered. His son survived.Think about that son. He went with his father to prepare for Yom Kippur—and returned home without him.Yet while Jews continue to face terrorism in Judea and Samaria, so much international attention remains focused on the politically charged narrative of “settler violence.”Jews living in Judea and Samaria are raising families, building communities, praying and living in places deeply rooted in Jewish history and the Bible. This family went to a spring before Yom Kippur. A husband and father never came home.Netanel leaves behind a wife and six children.May Hashem comfort his family among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. May He protect the IDF soldiers standing guard over Jewish communities throughout Israel, Judea and Samaria.Netanel Shakron הי״ד.May his memory be a blessing.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Jared Kushner says Israelis are being “a little irrational” about Gaza. Then he admits: “We're now starting to understand the scope of the militarization of Gaza. It is beyond your comprehension.”NOW starting to understand, after October 7, after nearly three years of war, after IDF soldiers uncovered Hamas tunnels, weapons caches, and command centers under homes, mosques, hospitals, and schools across the Gaza Strip?Then Kushner says something else: “We worked with Hamas for over four months.” Hamas supposedly signed a deal to demilitarize.Seriously?Hamas planned and carried out the October 7 massacre. It is a jihadist terror organization sworn to Israel's destruction. You do not negotiate our children's future with Islamonazis. You defeat them.Washington spent months talking to Hamas, now admits it is only beginning to grasp how militarized Gaza really was — and still calls Israelis irrational for refusing another “demilitarization” promise. Kushner has it backward.The old Gaza paradigm is dead. In 2005 Israel expelled nearly 10,000 Jews, destroyed 21 communities in Gush Katif, and pulled every soldier out of Gaza. We were promised peace. We got Hamas, rockets, terror tunnels, and October 7. Never again.That awakening is already in this Israeli election: Itamar Ben-Gvir's push for a ministry to facilitate Gazan emigration; Ofer Winter; Moshe Feiglin; Netanyahu's appointment of Gila Gamliel after President Trump raised relocation in January 2025. Avida Bechar of Kibbutz Be'eri, wife and son murdered on October 7, from the peace-seeking envelope — says Israelis will never be safe if one jihadi remains in Gaza. That is not irrational. That is October 7 clarity.Use American leverage on Egypt to open Rafah for those who leave. Destroy Hamas and every jihadist army. Correct 2005. Rebuild Jewish Gaza, bigger and stronger than Gush Katif. Jewish homes, fields, children, and yes, a beachfront in Jewish Gaza.We are not the irrational ones. Ignoring 1,400 years of jihad against non-Muslims is irrational.Strengthen your faith. Strengthen your Jewish identity. Strengthen your bond to our God-given ancestral homeland.

At the Pulse of Israel “From Victims to Victors” Conference, three powerful voices came together to discuss Israel's future at a moment of historic transformation.In this panel, Hillel Fuld, Alex Traiman, and Topaz Ram examine what it means for Israel and the Jewish people to move beyond the mentality of merely surviving — and begin thinking like a sovereign nation determined to shape its own destiny.The conversation explores Israel's security challenges, the battle for the international narrative, Jewish identity, national confidence, and the dramatic changes taking place in Israel and across the Middle East. After October 7, the old assumptions can no longer remain untouched. Israel faces enormous threats, but it also possesses military strength, national resilience, technological power, and a generation increasingly unwilling to apologize for Jewish sovereignty.The message of the From Victims to Victors Conference is simple: Jewish history cannot remain a story of persecution and reaction. After 2,000 years, the Jewish people are once again home, sovereign, armed, and responsible for defending their future.Watch this important conversation with Hillel Fuld, Alex Traiman, and Topaz Ram on why Israel's enemies continue to underestimate the Jewish people — and why Israel cannot be stopped.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The Jewish people are living through one of the greatest transformations in our 2,000-year history.In this powerful talk at the 4th Annual Pulse of Israel Conference, held at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem in July 2026, Pulse of Israel founder Avi Abelow explains the historic shift taking place from victims to victors.For generations, Jews lived as a persecuted and powerless minority, dependent upon the goodwill of foreign rulers for our survival. Today, we have returned to our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland. We have sovereignty, an army and the ability to defend Jewish lives.Yet too many Jews still think and speak from the mindset of exile, constantly apologizing, seeking approval and allowing our enemies to define the narrative.That must change.October 7 brought unimaginable pain, but it also accelerated a profound Jewish awakening. Israelis rediscovered faith, identity, unity and national purpose. Soldiers entered battle with Torah, tzitzit and an extraordinary understanding that they were fighting not only for Israel today, but for generations of Jewish history.Avi challenges Jews and Israel supporters to stop approaching the world merely as victims asking for sympathy. We must proudly tell the truth, identify the evil confronting us and recognize the miraculous redemptive process unfolding before our eyes.This is not only a military struggle. It is a battle over Jewish identity, historical truth and the future of Western civilization.We are not merely studying Jewish history anymore. We are making it.Watch, share and join Pulse of Israel in strengthening Jewish pride, defending Israel with unapologetic truth and helping our generation move from victims to victors.Strengthen your faith in Hashem.

For nearly three years I refused to spend every day chasing the latest lie about Israel. Not because the lies don't matter. Because the Jewish people cannot win if we live forever in the defendant's chair.In Hebrew, the word "Hasbara" is used when defending Israel. But that is the problem, it is defense. Pulse of Israel chose offense.Since October 7 Israel has been fighting a jihadi enemy that massacred families, burned people alive, kidnapped children, raped women, and celebrates murdering Jews. Not only Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Houthis in Yemen. Jihadis in Judea and Samaria. A 1,400+ year jihad now backed by Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.While we fight that war, Western media, campuses, NGOs, and activists folded every allegation, famine, hospitals, aid, journalists, children, into one word: genocide. Holocaust inversion. Jews worldwide were assaulted, cancelled, and intimidated. Then contrary evidence appeared. The megaphone went quiet. Almost no corrections. Almost no apologies.Belgian philosopher Maarten Boudry documented that collapse. He paid for it: cancelled lectures, withdrawn invitations, attempts to get him fired. Liberal democracy is supposed to answer claims with evidence. Not with a mob.Expose every falsehood. Demand accountability. Then get off the stand.October 7 told us who the enemy is. Believe them. Israel did not choose that massacre. Once they chose war, the Jewish state had a duty to defeat those who hunt Jews.We will not apologize for IDF soldiers killing jihadis, destroying terror infrastructure, or defending Jewish families. We are home. We are sovereign. We have an army.The red-green alliance - radical progressives plus jihadi movements - is now inside the West. Israel is the front line, not a side story.The deeper victory is not only military. It is Jewish pride, identity, homeland, and faith in God. That awakening is already happening in Israel.Join Pulse of Israel. Share this. Strengthen the connection to our people, our land, and God.

Pulse of Israel will be sitting down with representatives from the various lists running in Israel's 2026 elections, not to play studio referee, but so Israelis and our allies abroad can hear, in their own words, who intends to lead this country, what makes them unique, and what they will actually do in the Knesset.Avi Abelow sat down with Yishai Fleisher, international spokesman for Hebron, city councilman in Efrat in Gush Etzion, and now a candidate for the Knesset on Otzma Yehudit, the party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.Fleisher walks through some of Otzma Yehudit's record in government over the past 4 years: law and order, the fight against terrorism, and refusing the language of apology that treats Jewish presence in our heartland as a public-relations problem. He talks about Itamar Ben-Gvir as he knows him, not the soundbites sold by Israeli and foreign media. Why Ben-Gvir is misunderstood, what the attacks on him are really for, and why a Hebron spokesman and Efrat councilman would put his name on that ticket.We also get out of the campaign studio and onto the mountain. Fleisher just took part in a historic visit to the Temple Mount / Har HaBayit on Rosh Hashanah, including the blowing of shofars and Temple trumpets in a way not experienced since Temple times, more than 2,000 years. That is not a side note. It is the same argument as the election: the Jewish people are not guests in Jerusalem, and geulah/redemption is not a metaphor.If you care about Israel elections 2026, Otzma Yehudit, Ben-Gvir, Hebron, Efrat, the Temple Mount, Jewish identity, and whether Israel leads or copies a collapsing West, watch the full interview.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The other day, the government of Israel approved the building of a new city in the Shomron to be called SHIRA, on Highway 5, east of Rosh HaAyin, on the way to the city of Ariel. Tens of thousands of apartments will be built. On 9,500 dunams of land that will be home to over 100,000 Jews. Eastern Gush Dan. Half an hour to Tel Aviv. Next to the train.This didn't happen by accident.Smotrich and Netanyahu. A partnership that has totally changed the map of Israel like never before. Approved over 100 new communities in Judea and Samaria. New cities. Around 160 farms reclaiming the land, stopping the illegal Palestinian Authority land grab backed by EU funding. What used to take twenty years now happens in weeks. Now Smotrich has announced doing the same thing in the Negev and Galil, two areas the Arabs have been taking over, making Jews the minority, with no government pushback. He will finally take care of that too. Anyone who knows the government bureaucracy, and the deep state power that has allowed the Arab takeover of the Galil and Negev, understands how many roadblocks Smotrich has to overcome. That is the revolution. That is the vision becoming facts on the ground.And it will stop the second Israelis hand the keys of government back over to deep state powers on the political left, today being led by Eizenkot.After October 7, after the massacre, after Nova, after the country burned, too many Israelis are still ready to vote for the bloc that would make Gadi Eisenkot prime minister. The same man who, as IDF Chief of Staff, hollowed out the army and sold the country the religion of containment, belittled the Jewish concept of rising up to kill those who want to kill you, and “quiet will be met with quiet.” That doctrine didn't give us peace. It gave our enemies years to train, tunnel, arm, and walk into our homes.Eisenkot is not a leader; he's a product. No spine, no charisma, no new thinking since October 7. Just the deep state's latest packaged “savior,” sold to the public as the great hope for replacing Netanyahu.You don't honor the murdered by putting the architects of weakness back in charge.You honor them by finishing the job: more cities, more farms, more Jews on the high ground, an army that deters instead of manages.Smotrich and Netanyahu delivered the building. The other side delivered the conception.If you want Shira and the next hundred communities, they need the votes. Momentum like this is a miracle. Stopping it would be a crime.Share this. The land is being built. We can't hand the country back to the same political left security leaders who preached and practiced appeasement and failed us miserably. We need leaders who know we are facing a jihadi enemy and who have the vision to strengthen a proud Jewish State of Israel.These are redemptive times. We are living miracles in real time. There will still be ups and downs, but the trajectory is up and up, and it is breathtaking.Strengthen your emunah in Hashem. Follow me at the Pulse of Israel and share these truths.

Wake up, Jewish Democrats.Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, herself Jewish, told the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus that Jews have “a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival.”That was not abstract ethics. The political context was November and the U.S. Senate race: pressure on Jews uneasy about Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, and tempted by Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed's Israel record, and his “hurt people hurt people” line after the March 2026 terrorist attack on Temple Israel outside Detroit, already alarmed many Jewish Democrats.Nessel went further. Invoking Queen Esther, she suggested Jews may have to “sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people” to save humanity. She asked what good it is to defend Israel “if the planet upon which it rests is no longer inhabitable,” then: “Come November, what do your Jewish values tell you to do?”Esther risked herself to save the Jewish people. She did not risk the Jewish people to keep a party coalition intact.For too many Jews, Democratic affiliation has replaced Judaism as a civilization - Torah, peoplehood, history, Eretz Yisrael, continuity - with a universalist politics branded as tikkun olam. Caring for humanity is Jewish. Sacrificing Jewish survival is not. Ignoring Jew-hatred in party leadership is not a mitzvah.Nessel even admitted there are people in her camp who “seek the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state and place the Jewish diaspora in jeopardy.” Her conclusion was still: survival can come second.That is how Jew-hatred goes mainstream, when anti-Zionism is treated as morality, when the Red-Green alliance of the radical left and jihadi politics uses “Palestine” as the gateway, and when Jewish officials help sell it as Jewish values.Jewish survival is not selfish. Defending the only Jewish state is not selfish. Fighting antisemitism in your own party is not selfish.Wake up, Jewish Democrats. History has given enough warnings.

America and Israel are fighting the same battle: elected governments versus unelected power. A recent Washington Post report says senior U.S. commanders warned Secretary of War Pete Hegseth that renewing war with Iran would be “unsustainable.” Commanders should give candid private advice. The scandal is leaking that advice to pressure the elected leadership.America remains the most powerful military on earth. Costs must be explained. Policy is still decided by voters and the president they chose — not by officials who think their judgment should override an election.Israelis know this fight. For years, figures in the legal, security, intelligence, and bureaucratic establishments have blocked government policy while selective leaks shape the headlines. That pattern helped produce October 7: warnings withheld from Netanyahu, legal constraints slowing the response, then almost no accountability for the officials who failed. Terrorists must be punished. So must the officials who left Israel exposed.The mindset is the same in Washington and Jerusalem: voters don't understand, elected leaders can't be trusted, the professionals must save the country from itself. That is not democracy.Trump is the first U.S. president to confront this institutional power head-on. Netanyahu's government is doing the same in Israel. The ferocity of the resistance is a sign the establishment feels threatened. In Israel it is no longer even “deep.” The Supreme Court shielding a fired attorney general and a former Military Advocate General after a damaging IDF leak; delayed October 7 investigations; religious soldiers punished while senior commanders walk away — the contradictions are now public.Meanwhile media and institutions obsess over “settler violence” and religious soldiers, while downplaying the 1,400-year jihadi ideology that murdered Jews on October 7. A Jewish majority wants national identity, victory over jihad, and government by election. That clashes with a globalist establishment that treats Jewish nationalism as a problem to restrain — including the idea of depending again on Ra'am.The question is simple: do voters control America and Israel, or do unelected establishments veto results they dislike? Judicial reform in Israel is about restoring democracy. Don't despair. Vote for parties that will neuter the deep state. Strengthen your faith.

Interior Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir just put Gaza emigration at the center of Israel's election debate, declaring: “It is time to admit it: Gandhi was right.”He was referring to former Israeli general and minister Rehavam “Gandhi” Ze'evi—and unveiling his new Gaza emigration proposal, “Disengagement 710.”Ben-Gvir deserves credit for forcing Israel to confront a question almost everyone avoided before October 7: What happens to Gaza after this war, and how does Israel guarantee that another October 7 massacre can never happen?His plan reportedly envisions encouraging the jihadi Gazans to voluntarily emigrate, establishing a dedicated government ministry, negotiating with destination countries, and providing financial assistance for relocation.I support putting voluntary Gaza emigration on the table.But Israel cannot wait seven years.In this video, I explain why I believe the United States should use its enormous leverage with Egypt to push Cairo to open the Rafah crossing to Gazan civilians who voluntarily want to leave the war zone.Get civilians who want to leave out of the battlefield. Allow the IDF to defeat the remaining Hamas and jihadist forces. Permanently demilitarize Gaza. Maintain Israeli security control so Gaza can never again become a terrorist army sitting alongside Israeli communities, and make Gaza Jewish again.For decades Israel was sold different versions of the same failed strategy: withdrawals, deterrence, economic incentives, stronger fences and “managing Hamas.”October 7 shattered that conception.The Gaza debate must now be about solutions that prioritize Israeli lives and prevent another massacre, not rebuilding the conditions that produced October 7.Ben-Gvir has started an important conversation.Now Israel must decide how quickly it is prepared to act.Gaza emigration. Rafah. Egypt. Hamas. October 7. Israeli security. The future of Gaza.Watch, share, and join the conversation.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

This other week, the jihadi village of Qusra was back in the news with the same dishonest script: Jews blamed, “settler extremists” accused, Jewish self-defense treated as the scandal. That framing is a lie. Jihadis attacked Jews. Jews retaliated. The media and too many Israeli officials still blamed the Jews.In this video Avi Abelow breaks down what the headlines refuse to say about Qusra, Judea and Samaria, hilltop youth, illegal Palestinian Authority construction, and the collapse of deterrence after Oslo.First, young Jews are filling a vacuum the IDF left open. A healthy nation does not need civilians to impose a price on attackers. That is the army's job. But restrictive rules of engagement taught the jihadi population a dangerous lesson: attack Jews, then watch the Jewish response become the international story. Deterrence has to come before the next ambush, not after it.Second, this is a 30-year land war the Palestinian Authority has been winning. With European Union money, the PA spreads illegal building onto empty strategic ridges overlooking Jewish communities and roads. The house outside Qusra was not a random home. Whoever holds that mountain holds eyes on Jewish life below. Hilltop farms and outposts exist because someone finally moved to stop that takeover.Third, U.S. citizenship is being used as a weapon against Israel. The builder's American passport pulls in the U.S. embassy and turns a local clash into pressure on Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria, even under a pro-Israel administration. Israel should say the truth out loud instead of issuing vague apologies.Fourth, the Palestinian Authority is not a peace partner. It fields more than 60,000 armed, U.S.-trained men. Hamas sent a few thousand on October 7. Pretending the PA is a municipal police force is denial.Qusra is not a story about a few angry kids on a hill. It is a story about missing deterrence, a land war we will not name, foreign-passport lawfare, and a generation of Jews who will not be sitting ducks.Stick with Pulse of Israel for the full story.

The IDF Chief of Staff just approved a million-shekel package for a senior official who should be facing prison, not retirement. Thankfully, the Finance Ministry and Defense Minister have stopped the package for now, and hopefully for good.Former Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi admitted leaking the Force 100 video — a spliced, edited smear that painted IDF soldiers as criminals in the middle of a war for Israel's survival. That leak was not a clerical error. It was a weapon. It handed our enemies a propaganda gift, fueled UN resolutions against Israel, and helped the global machine that already wants Jews to look like the villains.The soldiers of Force 100 paid the price. They were branded as rapists. They lost jobs. Marriages collapsed. One of them took his own life. And the official responsible? The army let her walk away with no real punishment and a million-shekel send-off.The moment the story broke, her colleagues in the legal system and the Supreme Court did not rush to expose the truth. They rushed to block a real investigation. Every serious attempt to get to the bottom of the leaked video has been delayed, smothered, or shut down. That is not how a healthy country protects its fighters. That is how a closed caste protects itself.Tomer-Yerushalmi sat at the meeting point of two elites: the General Staff culture that briefed against Netanyahu, pushed a hostage deal at any price, and never warned the prime minister in the hours before the Hamas invasion — and a legal system that too often acts as if it is the real government. The leaked smear fit a campaign: damage Israel internationally, give Washington a reason to freeze weapons, and force a surrender deal that would leave Hamas standing.Then the same camp that spent two years trying to stop the war accuses Netanyahu of failing to win it. That is not leadership. That is hypocrisy.Our soldiers deserve the truth. Investigate this to the end. No more cover-ups. No more blood libels from inside our own institutions.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Brigadier General (res.) Oren Solomon is an October 7 hero. On the morning of the massacre he left home in the Gaza envelope with his son, not as a deployed unit but as a father and a fighter. They reached the Nova music festival area and Highway 232 and fought Hamas terrorists face to face for hours. With a handful of police officers they delayed the assault, blocked routes, evacuated civilians under fire, and helped save lives while the official army's response was hours away. Solomon does not speak in slogans. He describes what he saw, what he did, and what the official story left out.This interview is the full account. First the battle: the rockets, the terrorists on the roads, the festival turning into a killing field, a son who left his infant daughter at home and still went into the fire. Then the second war, the investigation. After the fighting, Solomon was asked by his commander to lead the Gaza Division's probe into the October 7 failure. He says he found paralysis at the top, a cover-up of command responsibility, and inquiries that would not give the Israeli public the answers it deserved. Then he was shut down. A military police case was opened against him. His home was searched. His role was ended. The case against him was later closed for lack of evidence. His conclusions still have not been published, as the IDF legal staff together with the Supreme Court put a stop to it.Don't miss this must-see interview. Watch, share, and demand the full October 7 investigations be released.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Could major change finally be coming to Washington's Middle East policy?According to reporting cited by Laura Loomer, senior State Department officials reportedly want U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Syria envoy Tom Barrack removed, and Barrack has allegedly been called back to Washington for “consultations.” Israel Hayom quoted Loomer citing a State Department source saying, “We want him gone so badly.”There has been no official announcement that Barrack has been fired, so hope must not be confused with confirmed fact. But his own statements raise serious questions about whose interests he has been advancing.Barrack declared that America's interests and those of Syrian ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly al-Qaeda commander Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, are “exactly the same today.” He described Sharaa's vision as “soft Islam,” while pressuring America's Kurdish allies to surrender their autonomy to Damascus.Barrack has also repeatedly promoted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He argued that America should give Erdoğan the “legitimacy” he needs and supported reconsidering Turkey's participation in the F-35 program, despite Turkey's purchase of Russia's S-400 system and Erdoğan's support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.Barrack even referred to Israel as “occupying” the Golan Heights, despite President Donald Trump's recognition of Israeli sovereignty there, before later walking back his remarks.American diplomats must pursue American interests, not legitimize jihadists, excuse Erdoğan's ambitions, abandon Kurdish allies or pressure Israel for defending itself.President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio understand the threat posed by jihadist ideology and the Muslim Brotherhood network. Hopefully, they are now asking whether Tom Barrack belongs in such an influential position.Watch, share and help expose the truth. America deserves diplomats who put America first, and America's genuine allies deserve nothing less.Strengthen your faith in Hashem and stand with Pulse of Israel.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

For years, Israelis have been told to dream about peace and normalization with Saudi Arabia. Imagine Israel, Saudi Arabia and the moderate Sunni states standing together against their common enemy: the Shiite jihadi regime of Iran.But that dream may be turning into a strategic nightmare.The Middle East is shifting again. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, a nuclear country, are developing deeper security ties, while the possibility of broader regional arrangements involving Iran has reportedly been discussed. At the same time, Muslim governments, including countries that have relations with Israel, continue finding common ground in publicly condemning Israel.Israelis need to wake up to a fundamental truth about the Middle East: agreements are valuable, but unreliable long-term. Deterrence is indispensable.I supported the Abraham Accords, and Israel should pursue agreements with every Arab and Muslim government willing to work with us. But we cannot confuse today's shared interests with permanent alliances, or build Israel's survival upon diplomatic promises, in an Arab Muslim world educated on 1,400+ years of jihad.Iran was once Israel's strategic partner. Turkey once enjoyed close military relations with Israel. Today, both are our biggest enemies. Alliances change. Interests change. As Middle East expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar once told me: agreements in the Middle East are like “sand in the wind.”This is also why total victory matters.Israel has achieved extraordinary military successes against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. But decisive victory means creating a strategic reality in which every government in the region understands that attacking Israel carries an unbearable price, and that Israel is the strongest, most dependable power in the neighborhood.That is real deterrence.Make agreements. Celebrate normalization. Expand the Abraham Accords. But Israel must never surrender strategic territory, sacrifice defensible borders or entrust Jewish survival to international guarantees in exchange for promises of peace.The Jewish people returned home after 2,000 years to determine our own destiny.Strength creates deterrence. Deterrence prevents war. And a grounded, proud Jewish nation with strength, unapologetic about being back in our ancestral homeland, ultimately creates the conditions for real peace.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Israel recently did something that represents one of the most important national-security shifts since October 7.Early Tuesday morning, Israeli jets struck the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria, damaging the runway and storage facilities. The reason was simple: Israel had intelligence that Syria was preparing to allow Turkish forces to deploy there. Israel warned Syria repeatedly. Syria ignored the warnings. So Israel acted — before Turkey could establish drones, aircraft, weapons, or air defenses on that base.Prime Minister Netanyahu's office said Israel will not tolerate threats to its security. Netanyahu's message to Turkey was even shorter: “Don't.”This is huge not because Israel bombed another site in Syria. It is huge because of when Israel acted. Israel did not wait for the threat to become entrenched. Compare that to 2023, when Hezbollah erected armed tents along the northern border and Israel spent months pursuing diplomacy, afraid of escalation and international condemnation. That “avoid escalation, buy quiet” doctrine helped produce October 7.The strategic map is changing. Iran's Shiite axis has been badly weakened. Hezbollah is degraded. Assad is gone. But jihad did not disappear. Under Erdoğan, Sunni Turkey is filling the vacuum — NATO's second-largest military, a major drone power, a political patron of Hamas, and a backer of Syria's new jihadi-linked government. Israel cannot watch that power creep toward the northern frontier and ask later how it happened.U.S. envoy Tom Barrack called the strike an “unnecessary escalation.” Israel should coordinate with America. It cannot outsource its survival to diplomats whose priority is avoiding friction with Ankara. Real deterrence is not saying you don't want war. It is making the cost of threatening Israel so clear that the enemy decides it is not worth it.Preempting a threat may bring condemnation today. Allowing it to grow brings funerals tomorrow. May we never return to the fearful Israel of October 6.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

After 44 years, IDF soldier Yehuda Yekutiel Katz, HY”D, is finally home.Yehuda was only 22 when he fought in the Battle of Sultan Yacoub during the First Lebanon War on June 11, 1982. An Israeli armored force was caught in a deadly clash with Syrian forces in the Bekaa Valley. Twenty soldiers were killed. Dozens were wounded. Three young soldiers disappeared: Zachary Baumel, Zvi Feldman, and Yehuda Katz.For decades, their families waited. For decades, Israel searched.Zachary Baumel was brought home in 2019 after 37 years. Zvi Feldman was brought home in 2025 after almost 43 years. Now Yehuda Katz has been found, identified, and returned in a special operation led by IDF Military Intelligence and the Mossad.What other nation does this? Governments changed. Wars were fought. The Soviet Union disappeared. The Middle East was transformed. The Jewish people never forgot one missing soldier.Friends who served with Yehuda, and friends who learned with him in yeshiva, still remember saying goodbye when he left to defend the Jewish people. He never came home — until now.Israel has not revealed where his remains were found or how they were recovered. Amid the collapse of old regimes in Syria and the transformation of the northern arena, new intelligence opportunities emerged. We cannot claim to know Hashem's design. We can only say thank You.Thank You to the soldiers, intelligence officers, and Mossad operatives whose names we may never know. Thank You that the Katz family can finally give Yehuda a Jewish burial in the Land of Israel.His funeral procession is set to leave the yeshiva at Kerem B'Yavneh before burial on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Forty-four years after leaving yeshiva to defend Am Yisrael, Yehuda Katz is home.May his memory be a blessing.

Over the past few weeks, jihadis in Gaza launched kites that crossed the border and landed in or near Israeli communities. For years, similar kites were used as arson weapons, burning Israeli fields and nature reserves.This time, Defense Minister Israel Katz issued the policy Israel should have had years ago: “We view every launch as an act of war in every sense.” He instructed the IDF to respond immediately and forcefully to any kite, balloon, or drone from Gaza, with or without explosives. “A balloon is treated like a kite, and a kite is treated like a drone.” Most important: “We will not allow a return to the reality of before October 7.”That is the shift. A primitive weapon is still a weapon. A cheap kite is still an attack if it is launched from enemy territory toward Israeli civilians. For years Israel absorbed “small” terrorism: incendiary kites in 2018, Hamas-organized border riots labeled as protests, and legal distinctions that left soldiers hesitant while Hamas tested the fence. On August 21, 2021, Border Police officer Barel Hadaria Shmueli, HY”D, was shot through a firing slit at point-blank range during one of those riots.October 7 showed where that doctrine ends. Hamas studied Israel's restraint. It learned that rockets were treated as war, while kites, balloons, and fence riots were treated as disturbances. Then came the massacre.These latest kites may not have carried explosives. That does not make them innocent. Jihadi groups probe first, normalize the abnormal, then escalate. Katz's standard is how deterrence is restored: immediate consequences, not delayed investigations and international mediation.Israel's duty is to protect Jewish life, not preserve Hamas's ability to test the border. No more containment. No more “it's only a kite.” Stop the threat before it grows.Strengthen your faith. Share these truths.

Caroline Glick delivered a powerful speech at our fourth annual Pulse of Israel conference at the Begin Center in Jerusalem, explaining what she sees as one of the most overlooked stories of this war: how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu transformed Israel's darkest moment into an extraordinary geopolitical opportunity.We had originally invited Prime Minister Netanyahu himself to address our conference. He was scheduled to participate, but at the last minute was unable to make it. Instead, he asked his close adviser Caroline Glick to speak in his place, and she delivered a message everyone needs to hear.After the Simchat Torah, October 7th massacre, Israel appeared more vulnerable than at almost any moment in its modern history. Hamas attacked from Gaza, Hezbollah opened another front from Lebanon, Iran and its proxies threatened Israel across the region from multiple fronts, and enormous international pressure mounted on Israel to stop the war without any semblance of victory or even deterrence.Yet Netanyahu ensured that Israel fought back.Glick explains the strategy behind Netanyahu's leadership and how Israel gradually transformed the strategic reality of the Middle East, degrading Hamas, delivering devastating blows to Hezbollah, confronting Iran directly, and demonstrating that the Jewish state would no longer simply absorb attacks from Iran's ring of fire.But her message goes beyond military achievements.She explained Netanyahu's secret behind the strategy that led Israel to fight the war while withstanding the tremendous international pressure - the economy.For decades, Israel repeatedly won on the battlefield only to surrender strategic achievements under diplomatic pressure. The lesson of this war is different: military victories must be translated into lasting geopolitical victories, that are only attainable with a strong economy.Whether you support Netanyahu or criticize him, Caroline Glick's analysis of Netanyahu's policies, what has happened since October 7th, and where Israel goes from here, is essential viewing.Am Yisrael Chai!

This is the story of a nation, but a personal story.Our first grandchild is here, and she is a beautiful little princess! Thank you Hashem!After being blessed with four boys, Hashem decided it was finally time to bring a little princess into the Abelow family. The emotions are impossible to describe.Yet this birth represents something even greater than an extraordinary personal family celebration: our granddaughter is the fourth generation of the Abelow family blessed to live in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.For thousands of years, generations of Jews lived in exile, wandering from country to country, enduring persecution and Jew-hating antisemitism while never abandoning the dream of returning home to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.I was blessed to be born and raised in the United States, arguably the greatest home the Jewish people ever experienced in exile, and I will forever be grateful for that. But I was even more blessed to make aliyah and come home to Israel, brought here by my parents, who have now become great-grandparents!Today, our children are building their own Jewish families here. Our granddaughter will grow up in the land where her ancestors dreamed of living. She will not merely learn about the miraculous return of the Jewish people to our homeland.She is the return.Four generations back home, and, God willing, this is only the beginning.Welcome to the world, our precious granddaughter. May Hashem bless you to grow surrounded by Torah, family, Jewish faith and love. May you grow into a proud Jewish woman and witness the continued redemption of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.Am Yisrael Chai, from generation to generation!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Did you hear the latest manufactured scandal? MK Tzvi Sukkot destroyed a Palestinian Authority monument that glorifies the terrorist Yaman Faraj, a jihadi terrorist responsible for multiple attacks that have killed and injured dozens of Jews. Of course MK Sukkot did the right thing. The outrage that followed only exposes the complete moral inversion we are living in, and the urgent need for stronger leadership.Journalist Elhanan Gruner reported the monument to the IDF back in early July after ice cream was handed out to village children in Faraj's memory at the monument. The Judea and Samaria Division commander promised to handle it. Days later the IDF claimed they couldn't find it, while soldiers on the ground had already located the monument and were begging for permission to destroy it.Prime Minister Netanyahu then criticized Sukkot for “taking the law into his own hands.” That response is exactly the problem. He should have said to the world: 'You are upset about a monument celebrating a terrorist? Be upset about the daily terror and the PA's pay-for-slay system funded by international money. Of course we will destroy these monuments. This is not a bureaucratic 'taking the law into ones own hands' issue, it is about removing evil.'Remember the hypocrisy. Progressive activists across America toppled, defaced, and destroyed hundreds of historic monuments and statues with barely any lasting internal or international outrage. Yet when a Jewish MK removes a monument that celebrates the murder of Jews, the world and even parts of Israel's leadership erupt in condemnation. That double standard is not accidental. It is the moral inversion at the heart of this conflict.Israel must implement the Rudy Giuliani methodology of rule. Terror monuments are the broken windows of this war. Leaving them standing signals weakness. Destroying them signals that the rules have changed. MK Sukkot did not incite terror, leaving the monument intact and criticizing his actions do.Three years after October 7, these symbols still stand while our enemies laugh at our hesitation. The younger generation that fought this war already understands the difference between legalistic caution and moral clarity. The question is whether our leadership will catch up.Destroy the monuments. Speak the only language the enemy understands.

Israel just held important Likud primary elections, yet hardly anyone outside Israel, and even many people inside Israel, heard about them.These internal elections matter because Likud members help shape the party's future list of Knesset representatives. Unlike many Israeli political parties, where candidates are selected internally by a small leadership circle, or just by the party leader, the Likud gives registered members a meaningful opportunity to influence who represents the party and what ideological direction it takes.As members of the Likud party, I was blessed to vote together with my parents. For me, this was much more than a political moment. It was another expression of Jewish history and our family's active participation in the Geulah, the redemption process unfolding before our eyes.Years ago, after witnessing the disastrous Oslo “peace” process, I realized that protesting from the sidelines was not enough. Inspired by Moshe Feiglin and his Manhigut Yehudit movement, tens of thousands of idealistic Israelis entered politics to influence the Likud and the State of Israel from within.Did we achieve everything we wanted? Absolutely not. Politics involves power struggles, international pressure, compromise and plenty of disappointment. Netanyahu and the Likud are not perfect. But without religious, Zionist and values-driven Israelis getting involved, Israel's political direction would be far worse today.Faith in Hashem is essential, but faith does not mean passivity.We must trust Hashem while accepting responsibility for the tools He places in our hands. We must pray, vote, organize, influence and help shape Israel into the truly Jewish state it is destined to become.I encourage everyone to stop sitting on the sidelines and merely complaining. Join a political party in Israel. Influence its leadership. Help choose its representatives. And if you are not yet living in Israel, come home and take your place in this extraordinary process.We are not merely watching Jewish history.We are helping make it.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Jared Kushner, representing the United States government, recently met in Egypt with Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas's overall leader, a former deputy to Yahya Sinwar who was connected to preparations for the October 7 massacre.Al-Hayya did not condemn October 7. He praised it as a “military accomplishment” and “source of pride” to be passed down through generations. This is the Hamas leader Kushner reportedly said had spoken “all the right things.”To Kushner's credit, he demanded that Hamas surrender its weapons, relinquish control of Gaza and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure. Yet Hamas's public statement did not explicitly promise disarmament. Instead, Hamas demanded that Israel stop fighting, withdraw from Gaza and permit reconstruction.Pressure Israel first. Trust Hamas later.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected that dangerous sequence. He insisted that Hamas surrender every weapon, dismantle its tunnels and completely demilitarize Gaza before any Israeli withdrawal or reconstruction.Israel tried withdrawal and promises in 2005. We destroyed 21 thriving Jewish communities and expelled nearly 10,000 Jews from Gaza. Instead of peace, Gaza became an Iranian-, Qatari- and Turkish-backed terrorist state that eventually launched October 7.Washington must also confront the influence of Qatar and Turkey, regimes closely associated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. A 1991 internal Muslim Brotherhood memorandum, later introduced as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial, described a “civilization-jihadist process” aimed at undermining Western civilization from within.This is not only Israel's battle. Sunni and Shia Jihadis chant “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” because Israel stands on the front line of the same civilizational struggle.President Trump should not pressure Netanyahu to trust Hamas. America should support Israel in defeating Hamas, retaining the security control necessary to protect Jewish lives and ensuring that October 7 can never happen again.Strengthen your faith.

I'm back in IDF reserve duty, helping protect the Jews who live in the Judean Hills while Israel's war against jihad continues.One of our newest assignments is particularly meaningful: protecting a brand-new Jewish community taking root on an undeveloped hilltop. Just weeks ago, caravans arrived and the first families moved in. Today, it is a dirt road, temporary homes and open hills. God willing, it will eventually become a thriving community of approximately 250 families.We are not merely guarding caravans. We are witnessing Jewish history being made.Children will grow up here. Synagogues and schools will be built. Families will celebrate weddings and britot. One day, residents will look at photographs of these first caravans and say, “That was the beginning.”This new community is part of an unprecedented wave of Jewish development throughout Judea and Samaria advanced by the current Israeli government, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich playing a central role. More Jewish communities mean greater Jewish continuity, stronger security and hundreds of thousands more Jews eventually living throughout Israel's biblical heartland.Standing here also exposes the lie that Jewish “settlements” are created by throwing Arabs out of their homes. Look around: open land, barren hills, a newly prepared road and brand-new caravans. Jewish families are not taking over an existing village. They are building something new.Judea and Samaria overlook Israel's narrow coastal plain and population centers. After October 7, allowing another jihadist terror state to rise on these strategic heights would be suicidal. Strengthening Jewish communities here protects all of Israel.Our ancestors prayed for 2,000 years to return. Today, a Jewish soldier in a Jewish army is protecting Jewish families rebuilding the hills walked by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David and our prophets.We are not merely studying Jewish history anymore.We are making it.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by an international mainstream media outlet about Israel, the “palestinians”, Judea and Samaria, and the war over our homeland.And they came with plenty of tough questions.The premise behind all the questions: the familiar international narrative portraying the “palestinians” as the perpetual victims and Jews living in our ancestral homeland as the supposed religious fanatics violating international law.I welcomed the questions because they gave me an opportunity to present a perspective their audience rarely gets to hear: the unapologetic Jewish and Israeli truth that is never heard.I was actually serving on IDF reserve duty at the time of this interview, defending our people while simultaneously being asked to justify why Jews live in Judea and Samaria and why Israel acts as it does.I tried to challenge the premises behind the questions and explain the reality so often missing from international coverage: Jewish history, our indigenous connection to this land, the security reality Israelis face, the ideology driving our enemies, and why understanding the conflict requires first understanding who the enemy is and what they actually want.They never sent me the final televised program, so I still don't know what portions of my answers ultimately made it to air.Fortunately, I recorded the entire interview myself.So now you can watch the conversation uncut and judge my answers for yourself.Did I answer their questions effectively? What would you have answered differently? And which response do you think was strongest?I genuinely want to hear your feedback in the comments.Please watch, share, and help us get the Jewish perspective mainstream audiences so rarely hear out to the world.Am Yisrael Chai!

As fighting with Hezbollah returned days ago, something extraordinary is happening in Lebanon that deserves far more attention.For decades, Israel fought the same disastrous cycle: defeat our enemies militarily, face international pressure to withdraw, trust international guarantees, watch the terrorists rebuild, and eventually fight another war.Today, that paradigm is beginning to change.Hezbollah continues to demonstrate why Israel can never withdraw from southern Lebanon while the terrorist organization remains armed. Yet the critical development is diplomatic: the United States is increasingly placing responsibility on Hezbollah to disarm rather than demanding that Israel withdraw first.That is a HUGE shift.Israel learned the hard way what happens when we surrender strategic territory based on international promises. We withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, while Hezbollah built an enormous terrorist army under UNIFIL's watch. We withdrew from Gaza in 2005, uprooting nearly 10,000 Jews and destroying 21 Jewish communities. Hamas responded with rockets, terror tunnels and ultimately the October 7 massacre.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has helped change the diplomatic equation: Hezbollah must be dismantled and southern Lebanon demilitarized before Israel can be expected to withdraw.Is this the decisive victory Israel ultimately needs? No. Hezbollah remains dangerous, Iran continues orchestrating terror across the Middle East, and Israel must ensure that its northern communities can never again face this threat by remaining in our Jewish tribal lands of Dan & Naftali in Southern Lebanon forever. But we should recognize a historic diplomatic achievement when we see one.For perhaps the first time, the international expectation is shifting from "Israel must withdraw and trust us" to "the terrorist organization must disarm first."That is a paradigm shift worth protecting.Israel must continue learning the lessons of October 7: no more blind faith in international guarantees, no more surrendering strategic security for temporary diplomatic promises, and no return to failed assumptions.Peace in this region comes through strength, deterrence and ultimately decisive victory.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The latest “settler violence” story from Qusra is another dangerous example of how the Palestinian Authority's misinformation machine is manipulating American officials, international media and even genuine friends of Israel.The incident did not occur deep inside a peaceful Arab village. It unfolded on Jabal Ein Aneva, strategic high ground between Migdalim and the Shilo bloc that the Palestinian Authority has reportedly been working to seize through illegal construction and the creation of facts on the ground.Qusra also has a documented history of terrorism and violent attacks against Jews. Yet that critical context disappeared as Jewish shepherds and families at Tel Talfiot were immediately portrayed as violent extremists and “terrorists.”Even U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee initially repeated this framing before walking back his remarks. Huckabee is a true friend of Israel, but that makes the contaminated information reaching the Trump administration even more alarming.Who benefits from this misinformation?The Palestinian Authority benefits by turning its strategic land grab into a story about Jewish aggression. Qatar also benefits by driving a wedge between Israel and its strongest American supporters, particularly Christians and conservatives. Qatar, a leader of the global Muslim Brotherhood, has hosted Hamas leaders, supported Muslim Brotherhood networks and invested heavily in influence throughout Washington.The same propaganda pattern appeared in the false Taybeh church story: accuse Jews first, generate international condemnation and allow the facts to arrive only after the damage has been done.Criminal violence should always be investigated, regardless of who commits it. But automatically blaming Jews while ignoring ongoing, daily, jihadi Muslim terrorism, illegal PA construction and the strategic battle for Area C is not justice. It is moral inversion.The “settler violence” blood libel does not endanger only hilltop youth. It delegitimizes every Jew living in Judea and Samaria, and ultimately every Israeli.Watch, share, and demand the full truth before another manufactured narrative endangers Jewish lives.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

According to explosive reports emerging from Washington and Israeli media, Israel passed on intelligence info to U.S. officials regarding an Iran assassination threat against President Trump during last month's NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. The reported operation to protect the President included extraordinary deception tactics, a possible surface-to-air missile threat, and intelligence that allegedly originated with Israel. If true, this story should reshape how Americans view Israel's role as one of the United States' closest strategic allies.In this episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow analyzes what these reports could mean for U.S.-Israel relations, the growing Iranian threat, and why this incident should force Washington to rethink its policies toward Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. If Iranian intelligence truly possessed highly detailed information about President Trump's movements—and if Israeli intelligence helped expose the threat—it highlights how closely American and Israeli security interests overlap in confronting common adversaries.This video also examines the broader strategic picture: Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, Turkey, and the proposed Gaza roadmap. Can governments that have supported Hamas be trusted to shape Gaza's future? Why does Israel continue warning the free world about the dangers posed by jihadist movements? And what lessons should President Trump draw from this reported assassination plot as he shapes future Middle East policy?While President Trump has made historic decisions benefiting Israel, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, standing firmly against Iran, and helping secure the release of Israeli hostages, Avi explains why this reported incident should serve as another reminder that Israel is not merely America's ally, but its frontline partner against common terrorist threats.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Trump's new 15-point Gaza roadmap has sparked headlines around the world—but is it really a path to peace, or a dangerous repeat of the mistakes that led to October 7?In this Pulse of Israel episode, Avi Abelow explains why Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was right to reject the proposal and why every Israeli must understand what is actually in this new plan. While President Trump has been one of the greatest friends Israel has ever had, moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, standing up to Iran, and helping bring our hostages home, friendship does not require silence when Israeli lives are at stake.The new proposal envisions a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a Palestinian technocratic government, Palestinian police, an International Stabilization Force, and international oversight, with Qatar and Turkey playing key roles in shaping the framework. Can Israel really entrust its security to governments that have supported Hamas for years?This video also examines shocking reports that Hamas terrorists have already begun testing Israel's resolve by crossing the "Yellow Line," stealing IDF equipment, and probing Israeli defenses while ceasefire restrictions limited the military's response. Have we learned nothing from October 7?Avi also explains why international guarantees have repeatedly failed, from the Oslo Accords, to UNIFIL in Lebanon, to the United Nations' inability to prevent Hamas from turning Gaza into a terrorist fortress. Israel cannot afford another experiment that leaves our security in the hands of others.The only lasting solution is one where Israel remains in Gaza forever, jihadis live elsewhere in the Middle East, ensuring that jihadis can never rebuild in Gaza, Israeli security remains in Israeli hands, and the Jewish people never again depend on international promises for their survival.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Israeli media has revealed a secret that was kept quiet for months: one Arab Muslim country advised another to sign an agreement with Israel only to “put it to sleep,” rearm, and prepare for the next war. Israeli journalist Tzvi Yehezkeli, who specializes in Islam and the Middle East, asks the only honest question: Is anyone actually surprised?He reminds us of a foundational Islamic precedent every Jew and Israeli must know, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.In 628 CE, while still weak, Muhammad signed a ten-year truce with the stronger Jewish Quraysh tribe at Hudaybiyyah. The terms looked humiliating. The pause allowed Mohammad to grow stronger. Two years later he broke the truce, marched on Mecca, and conquered it.That pattern never ended.Yehezkeli heard Yasser Arafat himself invoke Hudaybiyyah after the Oslo Accords, also recorded in a talk to a Muslim audience in South Africa that the agreement was not about peace but about buying time, land, and weapons. While Israelis sang songs of peace, Arafat brought armed men into Judea and Samaria. The Second Intifada followed.Would October 7 have been possible without Oslo? Without the Gaza withdrawal and the expulsion of nearly 10,000 Jews? Yehezkeli's answer is clear: no. Every ceasefire with Hamas followed the same rearmament logic. Yahya Sinwar and Arafat used the identical playbook.Even today's agreements with Arab states require open eyes, Egypt's military buildup, Jordan's instability, Turkey's ambitions. For jihadi ideology, “peace” is a temporary pause on the road to the final goal: the destruction of the Jewish state and the subjugation of non-Muslims according to Muhammad's path. No deal can be trusted. Israel always must be strong and prepared for the day any one of the Muslim states decides to break the truce, following Mohammad's ways.Western-minded Israelis keep hearing what they want to hear: quiet, routine, hummus in Ramallah. Our enemies hear something else entirely.It is time to stop thinking like Westerners and start thinking like Jews indigenous to the Middle East. The wake-up process is painful after 2,000 years of exile, but it is also the beginning of true redemption.Strengthen your faith. Share these truths.

Pulse of Israel usually is focued solely on Israel, but this about a non-Israel location has a deep connection to Israel and our Jewish story today.In this special episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow takes you on a journey through the breathtaking walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, revealing how a vacation became a powerful reminder of the miracle of modern Israel and why every Jew should appreciate the unique generation in which we live.Beyond the stunning medieval walls, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, sunset kayaking, hidden swimming coves, and one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities lies a remarkable Jewish story spanning nearly 2,000 years. Avi learned how Jewish merchants from the Roman Empire and later Sephardic exiles from Spain and Portugal helped transform Dubrovnik into one of the Mediterranean's greatest commercial centers, connecting Jewish communities across Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire.He visited one of Europe's oldest Sephardic synagogues and learned about the vibrant Jewish community that once flourished there before being nearly destroyed during the Holocaust under the brutal Ustaše regime. Today, only a handful of Jews remain, yet their story carries an important lesson for every Jew alive today.Walking those ancient streets, one realization became impossible to ignore. For almost two thousand years our ancestors ended every Passover Seder and Yom Kippur with the words, "Next year in Jerusalem." They dreamed. They prayed. They waited.We don't have to. Jerusalem is rebuilt. Israel exists. Making aliyah no longer requires a miracle, it simply requires making the decision to come home.As Jew-hating antisemitism rises across much of Western Europe and the growing red-green alliance increasingly threatens Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora, this video's message is not one of fear, but of opportunity. We are the first generation in nearly 2,000 years with the privilege of returning home freely, raising our children in a Jewish state, speaking Hebrew, living according to the Jewish calendar, and helping build the future our ancestors could only dream about.Join Avi as he explores Dubrovnik's beauty, uncovers its forgotten Jewish history, and explains why its greatest lesson ultimately points every Jew toward Jerusalem.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

I recently walked through two beautiful European cities with deep Jewish history. The synagogues still stand. The stories are remembered. But the Jewish communities themselves have largely disappeared. Hardly any Jews remain.In one of those cities, a local Jew was upset to see me wearing my kippah in public. “Why stand out?” he asked. He wasn't afraid for me — he was afraid for himself and the consequences he would face. Christians walk freely with their symbols. Muslims do the same. For Jews, hiding identity is treated as normal. That should never be accepted as normal.A Jewish restaurant in Montreal was just burned down. The arsonist was caught on camera. Authorities are investigating it as a hate crime. Across North America, Europe, and Australia, antisemitic attacks keep rising. Jewish schools need heavy security. Synagogues look like fortresses. Many Jews now hide Jewish symbols in public. Just a few years ago this was unnecessary. Today the warning signs are unmistakable. Jewish history is repeating itself.Yet at this exact moment, so much of the Jewish conversation is consumed by the latest blood libel: so-called “settler violence.” Analysis of the UN's own OCHA database shows that the vast majority of listed incidents do not involve Jewish settlers attacking anyone. The data includes jihadi attacks on Israelis, security-force incidents, property disputes, and more. After filtering, only a small fraction remains — and even that is heavily manipulated. The narrative redirects attention away from the real threat: a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that massacred Jews on October 7 and continues to target Jews worldwide.While Jews are attacked in Montreal, New York, London, Paris, and Sydney simply for being Jews, the focus stays on blaming Jews in Judea and Samaria. The greatest response to rising antisemitism is not more security systems. It is aliyah. It is returning home to Israel — the only place where Jewish identity is the air we breathe and the national calendar we live by.For 2,000 years Jews ended the Seder with “Next year in Jerusalem.” That prayer is no longer a dream. It is an airline ticket. History is speaking again. The question is whether we are ready to listen.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

On October 7, Hamas terrorists invaded Kibbutz Be'eri. Avida Bechar held the safe-room door shut as jihadis tried to break in and murder his family. He stopped them from entering, but could not stop the bullets that killed his wife Dana and teenage son Carmel, who bled out in front of him. Avida was shot and lost his leg. He and his daughter survived. Few Israelis have paid a heavier price.When Avida speaks, every Jew and every Israeli should listen.After the recent murder of two Jews near the Arab village of Tel in Judea and Samaria, Avida asked the question Israel still has not answered nearly three years after October 7: “The question isn't who is to blame, but what have we learned from this attack?”For decades Israel measured success by tactical wins — terrorists killed, rockets intercepted, temporary quiet. October 7 exposed that approach as bankrupt. Avida says the only language jihadis understand is permanent loss of land. After October 7 the jihadis in Gaza should lose Gaza. After the Tel attack, the village that produced the killers should no longer exist.“We never even defined what victory is. We never defined who the enemy is,” Avida said. “We have an incredible generation of fighters. Just define clear missions for them and let them win.”Terrorists are not the full enemy. Hamas is not the full enemy. The enemy is a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that has been massacring Jews since long before 1948 in 1929, 1936, and in Khaybar in 628 CE. That is why protesters across the West still chant “Khaybar, Khaybar ya Yahud.”Avida's most painful words: “My biggest problem is that my son, my wife, and thousands of others will have died for nothing.”That fear must drive us. Israel cannot keep fighting the same enemy from the same territory under the same rules. Victory means the enemy permanently loses the ability to attack again.Listen to the survivors. Define the enemy. Define victory. Stop the denial.Israel must be the model for the freedom-loving world in putting a stop to the evil jihadi Islam in our midst.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Michigan primary results reveal a deeper truth many refuse to face. Abdul El-Sayed's victory is not just a progressive win or a milestone for Muslim representation. It is another data point showing the steady rise of political influence tied to a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology inside America. Regardless if El-Sayed wins the general election or not against the Republican, this is a dangerous precedent that will repeat itself more and more.For decades, leaders of major American Muslim organizations have openly stated their goals. CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad said Islam is not in America to be equal but to become dominant. Nihad Awad spoke of building an “army” of professionals to deliver dozens of members of Congress. ISNA figures have talked about establishing Allah's rules in all lands and changing the American Constitution. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum, entered into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial, called this work a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” aimed at destroying Western civilization from within.These are not fringe statements. They come from the institutional networks that shape American Muslim political life. The same ideology produces chants of “Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud" celebrating the Muslim massacre of Jews back in 628 EC, celebrations of October 7, and the refusal to clearly condemn jihadi violence.El-Sayed's primary win, like the rise of figures such as Mamdani in New York, is a symptom. The larger reality is a supremacist jihadi political-religious ideology embedding itself in American elections, media, academia, and institutions. America still has no serious legal tools to address citizenship for those who openly advocate replacing the Constitution with Sharia or supporting the subordination of non-believers.Citizenship must not be an irreversible entitlement for those working to overthrow the constitutional order. Deportation of those advancing jihadi ideology is a national security necessity, not bigotry. The Michigan primary is a warning. Americans must wake up before the window closes. In Israel we face the same enemy with clearer eyes. America still has time, but only if it stops denying the threat.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

On a trip to Panama a few months ago, Avi Abelow was blessed to sit down with Rabbi Laine of Panama City, Panama, for a fascinating and extremely practical conversation about his book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.”Marriage is one of the greatest blessings in life, but even the strongest marriages can go off track every once in a while. Daily pressures, work, children, responsibilities, communication challenges and simple misunderstandings can slowly create distance between a husband and wife, even when both deeply love each other and are committed to making their marriage work.That is what makes Rabbi Lane's approach so valuable.In this interview with Avi Abelow, Rabbi Laine breaks down some of the fundamental differences between men and women and explains how understanding those differences can completely change the way spouses communicate with and understand one another.Sometimes what one spouse intends as love, concern or help is interpreted completely differently by the other. Instead of assuming bad intentions, understanding how men and women often think, communicate and process emotions differently can help couples stop unnecessary arguments before they begin.Think of it as a GPS for marriage. Sometimes you make a wrong turn. That doesn't mean the journey is over or the marriage is broken. You simply need to recognize where you are, recalculate and get back on the right road, together.This conversation is filled with practical relationship and marriage advice that I believe can benefit newlyweds, couples who have been married for decades, and everyone in between.A strong marriage requires work, understanding, patience, communication, and a willingness to continue learning about your spouse.I highly recommend watching this interview, sharing it with other couples, and purchasing Rabbi Lane's book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.” The book can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/GPS-Happier-Ma...There is always more we can learn about becoming better husbands, better wives, and building stronger, happier marriages.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Another President Trump announcement about his ambitious plan for Gaza, and worrisome updates from the new Gaza peace council.In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why he believes the latest proposal to disarm Hamas, establish a new Palestinian government in Gaza, deploy an international stabilization force, and eventually withdraw the IDF is built on a flawed assumption: that jihadist movements can be persuaded to abandon their ideology through diplomacy.Avi compares the proposal to previous diplomatic efforts involving Iran and argues that both rest on the belief that ideological regimes committed to Israel and the West's destruction can be negotiated into changing course. He discusses why, in his view, the conflict is driven by a deeper religious and ideological struggle rather than by borders or economics.The video also examines the historical record of international peacekeeping efforts, including the experience with UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, and asks whether outside forces have succeeded in preventing heavily armed groups from rebuilding.At the same time, Avi explains why he believes Prime Minister Netanyahu may publicly cooperate with aspects of the plan while privately recognizing its limitations. Preserving Israel's strategic relationship with President Trump and the United States remains a vital national interest, particularly after the successful return of the hostages.Ultimately, Avi argues that lasting peace cannot be built on wishful thinking. It must begin with a realistic understanding of the ideology Israel faces and a strategy that produces genuine deterrence and long-term security.Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation that deserves serious discussion.If you appreciate independent pro-Israel analysis that challenges conventional narratives, please Like, Subscribe, and Share this video.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

What are Jewish teens really being taught about Israel today? More importantly, what are they not being taught?I recently had the privilege of speaking to an incredible group of Ramah teens touring Israel, and I challenged them to experience this country in a way few Jewish educational organizations encourage.Israel is not just another destination to visit. It is the birthplace of the Jewish people, the setting of the Bible, and the foundation of Jewish identity. Every Jewish holiday, every biblical story, every prayer comes alive when you understand that it all happened here, in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.We also discussed a reality many young Jews rarely hear about: the ongoing security challenges Israel faces, the ideology driving jihadist terrorism, and how media narratives often distort the daily reality on the ground. From misleading headlines to selective reporting, too many people leave Israel with an incomplete picture of the challenges, and miracles, that define life here today.My message was simple: don't spend your trip seeing Israel as just another beautiful place. Walk this land knowing it is your land. Connect every mountain, valley, and ancient stone to your own Jewish story. When you strengthen your connection to the Land of Israel, you strengthen your Jewish identity.The response from these teenagers was inspiring. Their thoughtful questions, openness, and enthusiasm reminded me just how hungry the next generation is for honest conversations, meaningful Jewish education, and a deeper connection to Israel.This is the conversation more Jewish youth deserve to hear. This is why we want the Pulse of Israel to reach every Jewish teenager we can.If this message resonates with you, please Like, Subscribe, and Share. Together we can strengthen Jewish identity, inspire the next generation, and ensure that more young Jews experience Israel not simply as tourists, but as returning home.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Stop Letting the Media Tell You Who the Hilltop Youth AreFor years, the media has portrayed Israel's hilltop youth, settlers and pioneering families as extremists, while ignoring the daily reality they face.After speaking to nearly 300 American Jewish teenagers touring Israel, I was struck by one recurring question: "What about settler violence?" Almost no one asked about the constant jihadist terror, attempted infiltrations, arson attacks, rock-throwing, shootings, agricultural theft, or the indoctrination that fuels violence against Jewish communities. That disconnect reveals just how powerful today's media narrative has become.In this video, Avi Abelow explain why so many young Jews arrive in Israel already viewing fellow Jews as the problem and why that narrative collapses once you understand the security reality in Judea and Samaria.Avi Abelow discusses the remarkable decision by District Court Judge Ron Solkin, who challenged the simplistic portrayal of the hilltop communities. In his ruling, he described the daily threats faced by these families and wrote that people living under such conditions cannot be judged "under laboratory conditions, beneath an air conditioner and fluorescent lights." His words highlight the importance of understanding context before rushing to judgment.This isn't about claiming every action by every individual is justified. It's about recognizing that truth requires context, and that context is too often missing from media coverage about the Jews who live in Judea and Samaria.The young men and women building communities on Israel's strategic hilltops are continuing the Zionist pioneering tradition that has protected Israel's borders for generations. Whether you agree with every policy or not, understanding their reality is essential before forming an opinion.Watch, share, and decide for yourself whether you've been shown the full picture.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Twenty-one years after Israel dismantled 21 thriving Jewish communities in Gaza and expelled nearly 10,000 Jews from their homes, the conversation has come full circle. What was presented in 2005 as a path to peace instead paved the way for our jihadi enemies to turn Gaza into a terror launching pad, with years of rocket fire, and ultimately the horrors of the October 7 massacre.This week, fifteen thousand Israelis marched toward Gaza with a clear message: the time has come to rebuild Jewish communities in Gaza, beginning with northern Gaza. The march reflected a growing belief among many Israelis that lasting security requires more than military victories.In this video, I explain why I believe true victory over Hamas and jihadist terror requires more than eliminating terrorists and destroying tunnels. Military achievements alone cannot prevent future attacks if hostile forces can eventually return and rebuild. History in both Gaza and southern Lebanon has shown what can happen when security vacuums are created.I also share my personal memories from the 2005 disengagement protests, including Kfar Maimon and the marches toward Gaza, and how this new movement is fundamentally different. Instead of trying to prevent destruction, we are now marching with the mission to rebuild.I discuss why civilian communities, together with the IDF and full Israeli sovereignty, are the only long-term strategy to prevent another October 7. I also examine recent statements by Israeli ministers regarding the possibility of rebuilding communities in northern Gaza and why many believe this would represent a decisive turning point.If you care about Israel's future, Zionism, Jewish history, Middle East security, and the lessons of October 7, watch this video and join the conversation.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

When the media talks about Judea and Samaria, the headlines almost always focus on "settler violence." But what if they're ignoring the far bigger story?In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why the hilltop youth are among the unsung heroes protecting Israel's future, the Jewish people and the frontline for the whole freedom-loving world against jihad. 16, 17, 18 year old, and young families who put their lives on the line to be shepards and hold on to the land of Israel, instead of trying to get famous on TikTok? What an unbelievable generation of youth.Following a devastating weekend of terror arson attacks that destroyed homes in Chavat Gilad and targeted Jewish communities across Judea and Samaria, together with ongoing rock attacks, shootings, livestock theft, and illegal construction surrounding Jewish communities, Avi asks a simple question: Why does the media spend so much time demonizing the young Jews living on Israel's front lines instead of highlighting the daily terrorism they face?These young pioneers are not chasing comfort or social media fame. They are choosing to build farms, raise sheep, establish communities, and maintain a Jewish presence in strategic areas that many believe help prevent illegal encroachment and strengthen security for nearby communities. While not every action taken by every individual should be beyond criticism, Avi argues that their overall contribution to Israel's security and Zionist mission deserves far greater recognition than it receives.The video also examines the broader debate over deterrence, media narratives, security policy after October 7, and why many Israelis believe Judea and Samaria remain one of the most critical fronts in Israel's struggle against jihadist terrorism.Watch, share your thoughts, and decide for yourself whether the hilltop youth deserve condemnation, or gratitude.

The heartbreaking murder of Benaya Malat HY"D, the civilian security coordinator of Havat Gilad, should shake every Israeli to the core. Instead, many in Israel's political left and segments of the media rushed to recycle the same tired accusation: "settler violence." The newly released videos tell a very different story.In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why this tragedy exposes a far deeper crisis than a single terrorist attack. Jewish families hiking near Havat Gilad were attacked by jihadi Arab assailants. Benaya rushed to defend them and, as seen in the videos of the incident, repeatedly tried to avoid using deadly force, even using his rifle as a club rather than firing. Moments later, after his weapon was seized by the village Sheikh, he was fatally shot.Avi argues that this tragedy reflects a broader problem: Israeli soldiers, security personnel, and armed civilians often fear the legal consequences of using force in self-defense. He discusses concerns raised by reservists, elected officials, and others about Israel's current rules of engagement, the influence of military legal oversight, and whether existing policies discourage decisive action against imminent threats.The discussion also examines the continuing debate over security policy in Judea and Samaria, the lessons many Israelis believe should be learned from October 7, and the importance of restoring deterrence while protecting innocent lives.Whether you agree or disagree, these are questions that deserve serious public discussion—not slogans or political talking points.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Could Gadi Eisenkot become Israel's next Prime Minister? In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why he believes that would be a dangerous mistake.With election season approaching, many in Israel's political and media establishment are promoting former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot as a leading candidate for prime minister. But do his own recent public statements raise serious concerns about his judgment and approach to Israel's security?In this video, Avi examines two controversial interviews that he argues reveal a troubling worldview.First, Eisenkot's comparison of Yoseph Haddad—a proud Israeli Arab, former Golani soldier, and outspoken defender of Israel—with Mansour Abbas, leader of the Ra'am Party. Haddad forcefully rejected the comparison, emphasizing that beyond their shared Arab identity, they have fundamentally different values, records, and visions for Israel.Second, Avi discusses Eisenkot's reported support for allowing more than 100,000 Gazans to return to work inside Israel. In light of the October 7 massacre and reports that some Gazan workers provided Hamas with intelligence before the attack, Avi argues that such a policy reflects a dangerous misunderstanding of the security threats Israel faces.The video also looks at Eisenkot's record as IDF Chief of Staff, his departure from the emergency unity government during the war, and the broader question facing Israeli voters: What kind of leadership does Israel need after October 7?Whether you agree or disagree, this is a debate that will shape Israel's future.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The murder of Benaya Malat HY"D is another heartbreaking reminder of the reality facing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Benaya, 32, the head of security and agriculture for Havat Gilad, rushed to protect a group of Jewish hikers, including children, who came under attack from neighboring jihadi Muslims.What makes this tragedy even more painful is what the released video appears to show. Rather than immediately opening fire, Benaya and the other armed Jews, including IDF soldiers, attempted to de-escalate the confrontation. Benaya even used his rifle as a defensive tool instead of firing it. During the struggle, one of the attackers, the village Sheikh, grabbed his rifle and shot Benaya.Just days earlier, Havat Gilad suffered a devastating terror arson attack that destroyed homes and businesses. Now the community is mourning the loss of one of its protectors.This video raises difficult questions about self-defense, terrorism, security policy, and the continuing violence directed at Jewish civilians living in Israel's biblical heartland. It also highlights the dangers faced daily by Jewish families who simply want to live, work the land, and raise their children in peace.In this video, Avi Abelow explains why this attack should not be viewed as an isolated incident, but as part of the broader security reality Israel continues to confront. We also discuss what this means for the future of Judea and Samaria, Israeli security, and the ongoing fight against jihadist terrorism.If you believe more people need to understand what is happening on the ground in Israel, please like this video, subscribe to Pulse of Israel, and share it with your family and friends.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Since the beginning of Israel's war after the October 7 massacre, an extraordinary group of Jewish women in Panama has gathered every single Sunday to recite Tehillim (Psalms) for the people of Israel. In this special Pulse of Israel message, Avi Abelow thanks these inspiring women and explains why their prayers are part of a much larger story unfolding in Israel today.For the first time since the rebirth of the modern Jewish state in 1948, growing numbers of Israelis, including many who never considered themselves religious, are openly recognizing God's role in our national survival. While God performed miracles in every one of Israel's wars, something has changed during this war. The horrors of October 7, together with countless stories of miraculous survival from soldiers, civilians, and hostages, have sparked a spiritual awakening across Israeli society.Avi shares why this growing faith is transforming Israel from within and why strengthening Jewish identity may become one of the greatest victories to emerge from this difficult war. He also expresses heartfelt gratitude to Jews around the world whose prayers, unity, and unwavering support continue to strengthen the people of Israel.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

As Jews around the world mark Tisha B'Av and mourn the destruction of the First and Second Temples, something profound is happening in our time. We in Israel are no longer only remembering destruction. We are living the process of redemption.Just a few years ago, only a small number of Jews were allowed to ascend the Temple Mount at any given time. Jewish prayer and song were strictly forbidden. We were forbidden from drinking from the water fountains on the Temple Mount. Muslim rioters regularly harassed visitors and tried to block any strengthening of the Jewish connection to our holiest site in Jerusalem — Har HaBayit.That reality is slowly but steadily changing. More Jews are now ascending the Temple Mount in accordance with Jewish law. More are praying, singing, and reconnecting with the place where the Divine Presence once dwelled and will dwell again. The greatest shift, however, is not only in the regulations. It is in the consciousness of the Jewish people.An increasing number of Jews now understand that the rebuilding of the Third Temple is not a distant dream or purely religious aspiration. It is our national destiny. The Temple is far more than a house of worship. It is the national home for God's Presence among the Jewish people, the place from which we are meant to bring knowledge of God, morality, and holiness to all humanity.Just as we trust God's wisdom in the commandments of Shabbat and kashrut, we can trust His command to build His House in our homeland, in Jerusalem. Redemption is not a single event. It is a process, and by God's grace, we are privileged to be living through it.May we soon merit to see the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, the Third Temple, speedily in our days.If this message resonates with you, please like, share, and subscribe.
