Israel and Iran are trading missiles. A hospital's been hit. Thirty injured. Israel's fired back — hard — targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Inside Iran? Chaos. Power's out. Hackers hijack state TV, urging revolt. And Donald Trump? He's green-lit Pentagon war plans — but is holding fire. For now.We've got The Telegraph's best on the ground: Sophia Yan in Beirut, Paul Nuki in Tel Aviv, and David Blair in the studio. Lebanon's on edge. Israel's braced. And the big question — will Trump strike? Or let Israel go it alone? The team also debates the broader stakes: Can Israel halt Iran's nuclear ambitions without American help? Could the regime in Tehran collapse? And what happens if Hezbollah stays silent? With so many moving parts, this episode dives deep into the decisions and dangers shaping what may become the defining war of the decade.https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

Five days in, Israel's battle to destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure continues. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched the campaign in the wake of a decision by the IAEA Board to censure Iran a resolution declaring that Iran is in breach of its non-proliferation obligations, one day past a Donald Trump imposed deadline of 60 days for Iran to agree to relinquish its uranium enrichment capabilities. Iran has responded with indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Can Israel destroy Iran's nuclear program? Is that possible without the United States? What role will the United States play? And can the Tehran regime survive? Haviv Gur is a veteran Israeli journalist who serves as Senior Analyst for The Times of Israel.

The current Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah war and the Biden administration's slow-walking of crucial arms to Israel has reignited the debate on US military aid to Israel on both the right and the left. Is it time to rethink Israel's dependence of US military aid? Can Israel be militarily and technologically independent? Has the relationship always been this way? To answer these questions, Caroline Glick sits down with the Director of the Churchill Program for Strategy, Statecraft, and Security at the Argaman Institute and an Expert at the Misgav Institute Dr. Raphael BenLevi.NEW: Receive Email Update with Caroline Glick publishes a new video or article https://go.jns.org/caroline_glick_rss_email_signupCatch every story from Israel and the Jewish World:Latest news: https://bit.ly/jewish_news_serviceSubscribe to our free newsletter: https://bit.ly/subscribe_to_JNSYou can join the fight against media bias!Donate here: https://bit.ly/Support-JNS

  US Election comments Listerner questions answered Mike Benz on the Tucker Carlson show Watch Here Donald Trump won the 2024 US Presidential election! Will the perturbed liberal celebrities actually move out of the United States now, or just blowing wind? Trump received help from Joe Rogan, Carlson Tucker, Elon Musk, Megyn Kelly & others. The FBI had many agent provocateurs in the crowd, dressed as Trump supporters, egging people on. The media has constantly attacked Trump, ignoring his accomplishments. What has Kamala done? People would have voted for Trump simply because they didn't want Kamala as their representative. Jim feels Biden's foreign policies were very bad, he's pretty close to being a Neo Con. Biden refused to negotiate on the situation in Ukraine. Why would Boris Johnson travel to Ukraine & have Zelenskyy cancel the Peace Treaty? Over $100 billion has been spent on the Ukraine war at this point without a Peace Treaty. Why? Jim listens to Scott Ritter & Colonel Douglas MacGregor, both are on Twitter/X. Len listens to US Economist Jeffrey Sachs & Mike Benz, former State Department whistleblower. Len explains the goal of Ukraine supporters to bankrupt Russia, pulling Russia into unnecessary war. FK threatened to "pull the plug" when there wasn't even a war going on to stop the Dimona project. Biden hasn't protested Israel's targeted genocide against Palestine, Jim feels Biden has been a failure in Israel & the Middle East, continuing to fund illegal wars. Israel has now expanded their war into Lebanon & Iran. Hezbollah has over 100,000 troops that are highly organized & they've stymied Israel's advance. Jim feels Trump doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time & runs off at the mouth. Trump makes inaccurate claims at time, his understanding of events & history is often wrong. Iran started to build their missile arsenal after being attacked by Iraq in the 1980's. JFK would say "we can compete with the Russians, we don't have to be enemies with everyone". Iran has 15,000 missiles! They are set to buy the latest generation fighter jet from Russia! Russia & China have both helped Iran build up their military & arsenal. Israel's F35 attack against Iran didn't go so well with Iran having fantastic radar & military. Israel is now fighting Hamas, Hezbol'ah & Iran. Can Israel win on all three fronts? Bill Clinton was sent to Michigan for the election, expressing his anti-Palestine views. Clinton was shut down when it was pointed out Israel had recently murdered 43,000 Palestine natives. Kamala Harris ended up losing Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania destroying the 'Blue Wall'. Kamala had the Clintons, the Obamas & celebrities going around the country to rally & she still lost. Jim feels Bernie Sanders would have beat Trump in 2016 if he had run instead of Hillary Clinton. A book should be written about everything that has happened to RJK Jr. over the past four years. Jim's protest vote went to Jill Stein, the Green Party's 2024 presidential nominee.  

Our cell phones are collecting way more data on us than we think, and it's shockingly easy for Big Tech, government agencies, and a wide array of bad actors to access it. Glenn speaks with Erik Prince, retired Navy SEAL and the founder of the private military contractor Blackwater, and Ryan Paterson, retired Marine and Big Tech insider, about their new venture, Unplugged, which aims to solve this massive personal security breach. Erik and Ryan explain how anyone who buys our data can learn our routines, discover who we are, and even know which side of the bed we sleep on: “It's worse than George Orwell even imagined.” Erik and Ryan also address excuses like, “They already have all my data,” or, “I have nothing to hide.” But first, Glenn speaks with Erik about his incredible backstory: Why did he, the son of a successful entrepreneur, become a Navy SEAL and start Blackwater? Erik also provides insight on the conflicts around the world: Can Trump stop the war between Russia and Ukraine? Can Israel free Iran from Islamist tyranny? Was America's war in Iraq for nothing? Is the Chinese Communist Party our greatest adversary? What did Trump's comments about “the enemy within” really mean? Plus, he shares his plan for how to make the U.S. military both less expensive and more efficient at the same time.   Disclaimer: Unplugged is a sponsor of "The Glenn Beck Program."   Sponsors: We live in crazy times.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates' weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. Rudyard and Janice open the show with the big news of the week: the death of Yahya Sinwar. How significant is his death to the current conflict? How will Israel's allies and adversaries take advantage of this moment to get a framework in place for Gaza's future? Can Israel convert their string of tactical victories to a strategic success? Meanwhile, with Iran suffering loss after loss and desperate to save face, it would be foolhardy to assume that because Sinwar is dead the danger is over. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn their attention to the US election. With only twenty days to go, their focus is on Donald Trump's fixation with tariffs that would likely become a key part of American fiscal policy should he win in November. Rudyard and Janice worry that his skewed understanding of tariffs will increase inflation and have devastating consequences on the American economy and particularly the working class he so famously champions.

Quando gli effetti economici della guerra arrivano a colpire la vita quotidiana della popolazione, cambia il sentimento nei confronti dei governi. Dati e opinione pubblica ci mettono di fronte anche obiettivi militari che ufficialmente non vengono dichiarati. Per scorgere questi cambiamenti è necessario intrufolarsi nei social, osservare dati che i governi ignorano, unire i puntini: i casi di Russia, Israele, Gaza e Sudan.

Others are just as sharp, but the interview is an entirely different experience. I feel silly being this dramatic, so forgive me; it just seems that what follows is the proper extended metaphor to describe our conversation. Rashid crackles with energy when he talks, just as if he were a fighter. Even if he's not using his fists, his cadence is like a boxer's and I had to roll with the punches. This was another great one, and as usual I bear very little responsibility beyond sticking it out in the ring. I'm going to resist the urge to make any more boxing comments and instead finish with this: Thanks for listening. - Robinson P.S. In a number of recent episodes I've mentioned Maui Nui Venison, which is a company operating out of Hawaii that manages the invasive deer population of Maui that is decimating the landscape. Instead of culling the animals and disposing of their bodies, the meat is butchered and sold. It is the only meat I eat, full-stop, and the ethical reasons are sufficient for this, but it is also the best meat that I have ever eaten. I reached out to Maui Nui and told them that I support what they are doing and would like to be of any help that I can. They gave me this coupon code—ROBINSON—which you can use for 20% off. I am not being paid for this in any way. I believe in what they are doing and I want this model to succeed. People are going to be eating meat for the foreseeable future and I would be happier if it was not factory-farmed meat. So please check Maui Nui out and give them a try! --- Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor Emeritus of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, President of the Middle East Studies Association, and an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from October 1992 until June 1993. In this episode, Rashid and Robinson discuss the history that culminated in October 7th, 2023, what has happened since then, and what might happen in the future. More particularly, they talk about Zionism, the Nakba, how Gaza was created, the war between Israel and Hamas, Egypt's role in the crisis, the question of genocide, and the future of Palestine.

It has been one year since the start of the war in Gaza. What started with an appalling crime was repaid with further crimes and relentless tragedy. This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, on the anniversary of the start of the war in Gaza, we look at three aspects: health, justice, and future.What is state of healthcare in Gaza? How much aid is getting in? What disease are spreading? What toll has 12 months of brutal conflict had on people's mental health?What is the state of the international criminal case against the leaders of Hamas and Israel? What is the timeline for international litigation? Can Israel be protected by its allies? Is the ICC still a deterrent?What will the 'day after' in Gaza look like? Who will pay for the reconstruction, and will the situation every be suitable for reconstruction? And who will govern Gaza in the future. Joining us to look back over the past 12 months and the future ahead, we have three guests.

Reminder: Please like and subscribe to my channel. Halfway Through a 2 Year War? That's what Kenneth Abramowitz, author of “The Multifront War” discusses as he joins Rose. The organizations and countries that hate Jews hate God and they hate the rule of law. After all, Jews and Christians created  the  Judeo-Christian values and beliefs we practice. Iran leadership hates Americans and Christians as well. The War in Israel 2 Years and no more predicts Kenneth Abramowitz Netanyahu speech at UN as massive attack on Hezbollah being prepared. Is there opportunity for Lebanon to begin again as a sovereign state? Can Israel save the Arabs in Gaza from Hamas, Arabas and Christians in Lebanon from Hezbollah, and the Iranian people from the Iranian death cult running the country. Israel is essentially saving America from the existential risk from Iran.   For more information and to order the book; “The Multifront War” https://savethewest.com  Rose's Sponsors: Please Support!!! www.mypillow.com Promo Code: ROSE www.patriotmobile.com/rose www.americansforprosperity.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rose-unplugged/support

What drew me to establish a friendship with Mark Kennedy, a Jewish political guru, through Facebook, was his well-informed, almost insider-esque, take on all things foreign policy and politics. For years, Mark and I would talk about U.S. politics, the Middle East, and all other hotspots world-wide, to the point where I knew I had to have Mark on as a featured guest on the Taking Back the Narrative podcast. Join us as we weave from where things stand in Israel today - from the North, Gaza, Eilat, hostage rescue progress, to Iran. We also broach the uncomfortable discussion of how much did Israel know before the Jewish genocide - the military, government, and the absolute brainwashing within the Arab occupier populations in both Gaza and in Judea & Samaria for nearly 80 years. Is there a Fifth Column in Israel?Can Israel sustain being a democracy? Why Tikkun Olam has long been bastardized. And of course, Mark expertly shares his insight on the upcoming American election, and how Jews are part of the political shift back towards President Trump in America.

Savage criticizes Harris for her lack of attachment to policies and labels her the "Queen of in Between." He blasts the Biden Administration's incompetence and reveals that Jill Biden is operating as the de facto president. He shares his concern about the influence of social media, the dangers of ultra-tolerance, and the potential destruction of civilization. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual guidance and support during challenging times, particularly under the Biden Harris administration. He then discusses the Middle East and the war in Israel. Can Israel avoid a large-scale ground war or is it inevitable? He reflects on how we arrived at this point and turns to the Bible for insight. He references a book he wrote called "The Savage Republic" and quotes a passage about God distinguishing between holy and profane. He declares the Biden Administration the most profane administration in American history with many dangerous social and political leftists surrounding the President. He reads a paragraph from the book, discussing how the sexual liberation movement led to crime, disease, drug use, open borders, and closed minds. He then draws parallels between Hitler's emergence and the current political climate in America, warning that the internationalists or socialists, represented by figures like Kamala Harris, will destroy everything worth living for if they win the election. He exposes socialism as the philosophy of failure and equity's origins from Robespierre and the French Revolution. Savage argues that he'd rather be oppressed in capitalism than starved by socialism.

After two days of unprecedented attacks on Hezbollah's old-school communications devices, we ask how Iran's subsidiaries might react. Can Israel's actions be forgiven as an act of war when it knew there would be civilian casualties? And does a failure to make an impact with previous revenge attempts by Hezbollah leave them with no choice but to start a war?

Fifty years after the Yom Kippur War, Israel's vaunted military and intelligence establishment again failed to protect the Jewish state. What must it do to regain its reputation and deterrence? Former Israeli deputy national-security adviser Chuck Freilich joined Bret Stephens for a conversation on his recent SAPIR article, "Can Israel's Intelligence Services Be Saved?"

TNT Radio host Patrick Henningsen speaks with award-winning Yemeni journalist Yousef Mawry, about how Ansar Allah (aka ‘The Houthies') have significantly raised the military stakes in the Middle East deterring Israeli economic trade, as well as U.S. and British naval dominance in the region. We talk about Yemen's new hypersonic missiles and its accuracy against naval vessels in the Red Sea and beyond. This also changes the balance of power away from Western-allied Gulf powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE in favour of Iran and its Axis of Resistance cohort. Will this be a game-changer going forward?

What is the IDF's end game with Hezbollah? Can Israel really fight a two-front war on its Southern and Northern border? Is avoiding a full-scale with the Iran-backed militia even desirable?Journalist and author Caroline Glick discusses all this with the Herut Center's CEO Amiad Cohen. He argues that Israel must take back all of southern Lebanon while seeking to prevent a Groundhog Day situation with Hezbollah. Anyone trying to make sense of the North needs to listen to this! 

Can Israel overcome the mounting threats it now faces? Savage explores this controversial subject and more in a prescient monologue. He shares a Jewish mysticism story about a Rabbi and his son who received apparent curses from sages that were actually blessings in disguise. He encourages listeners to learn to decipher their negative experiences as hidden blessings. He emphasizes that not all Jews, including those in the Biden Administration, truly understand or accept the concept of God. It is essential not to condemn all Jews, or any group, based on the actions of a few. He discusses the concept of equality in Judaism and the importance of recognizing the basic equality of all people despite their differences. He draws on historic parallels to understand the current conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians. As records have been manipulated and destroyed in the past, the progressives are also rewriting history before our eyes. Weaving the political and the spiritual, Savage speculates on the future of Israel and the fate of the United States in this exceptional broadcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Can Israel truly receive a fair trial according to the moral standards of the West if Western civilization is fundamentally rooted in a Christian worldview? Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Professor Jeremy England to discuss his recent piece, Live by the Law or Die on the Cross, and the extent to which Israel could hope to survive and thrive as a Jewish state in a Western-led global order inherently based on a Christian ideological paradigm.

Can Israel ignore the pressure?Young people outraged by the graphic images of the Rafah tent fire that killed dozens of civilians out in the streets of Paris and Marseille, this as Ireland, Norway and Spain recognize a Palestinian state and international courts mount cases over the war in Gaza.  A war that could last another seven months, says a top official in Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Fact is, Israeli citizens are also traumatized by October 7th and its aftermath but not seeing the same images as the rest of the world on their social media feeds. Then there's Israel's biggest backer, with a Biden administration that so far refuses to say that Israel's operation in Rafah crosses its red lines and a Republican opposition that is 100-percent behind Netanyahu. In past Middle East wars, it is often the US that has been the one to call time. Why after nearly eight months, is this time different? Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown. 

Dr. Owen Strachan is joined by Ryan Helfenbein, the VP for Communications at Liberty University and the Founding Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center, to discuss the anti-Israel protests that have swept over college campuses. What's behind these protests? Can Israel be criticized without being antisemitic? How does wokeness factor into what we're seeing? Dr. Strachan and Mr. Helfenbein answer these questions and a lot more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Biden administration and international public opinion up the pressure on Israel to suspend its campaign against an enemy sworn to destroy it, the right of the Jewish state to defend itself seems to be challenged. Can Israel finish the job against Hamas? Will Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain in office despite fierce domestic criticism? What are the wider geopolitical issues at stake? On this episode of the Potomac Watch podcast, policy analyst Reuel Marc Gerecht tells Gerry Baker why an occupation of Gaza by Israel is likely necessary, how pro-Palestinian voters in the United States have influence over Joe Biden's policy decisions, and why Iran and questions about its nuclear program continue to linger over the entire war.

Yesterday, David French published an article in The New York Times comparing Israel's war in Gaza to the U.S. war in Iraq. Can Israel learn from our mistakes? Boyd breaks down French's article and how The New York Times is thinking about this issue.

Today's disagreement is about the relationship between Israel and American Jews. To have this conversation, we've brought together two prominent American Rabbis with two very different perspectives on the current conflict. The GuestsRabbi Stuart Weinblatt founded Congregation B'Nai Tzedek in Potomac, Maryland in 1988 and is the Senior Rabbi there. He is the Chair of the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition and has previously served as the President of the Rabbinic Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America, and the Director of Israel Policy and Advocacy at the Rabbinical Assembly. Rabbi Matthew Soffer is the Senior Rabbi at Judea Reform Congregation in Durham, North Carolina. Previously, Rabbi Soffer served at Temple Israel in Boston, where he led the nationally influential Riverway Project and Ohel Tzedek, the synagogue's social justice wing. Today we ask a wide range of questions relating to the war in Gaza and Zionism more broadly: Is the war in Gaza a just war? How does one balance the particularism of Jewish peoplehood with the universalism of Jewish teaching?How should advocates of Israel be publicly speaking about Palestinian suffering? Can Israel defeat Hamas? If so, at what cost?Two quick notes:This is the first of what will hopefully be many conversations on Israel/Palestine and the broader conflict. Our goal is to give voice to a wide variety of stakeholders and perspectives.Disagreements are live and feral and unpredictable. In my conversation with the Rabbis, there are times where I cross over into being more of a participant than a host. This happened organically. It's not our core model. But it's honest and real. And it's representative of many of the conversations that are taking place right now. Show NotesGeneral atmosphere in Israel [05:09]Feelings of moral confusion vs moral clarity [06:44]What is the cost of defeating Hamas?

Eylon Levy is the leading Israeli government spokesperson. You will have seen him doing media hit after media hit, fiercely defending Israel throughout the Israel-Hamas War. But you will not have seen him like this.We sit down together at the historic Jaffa Hotel Chapel in Israel for a deeper dive, a closer examination of what he's been saying. It was an opportunity to better understand the mind of the Israeli government through the mouth of one man.How did the October 7th Massacre happen? How did a country with the most stringent security in the world be so overcome? Can Israel actually win this war? Is pulverising Gaza actually a sensible strategy?Can an idea - the Islamist-Nationalist ideology of Hamas - actually be defeated? It is an idea reinforced with every victory of Israel, much like a Chinese finger trap, the more you struggle against it, the tighter the grip. Does Israel care what the world thinks? Does Israel need America and Britain? I tried to reach the Eylon beneath the government veneer - he is, after all, a Londoner like me. What does he make of the future of Britain?N.B.

What does a new phase in Israel's war on Gaza entail? Its army is pulling some troops from the strip. It says it's adopting more targeted operations against Hamas. Can Israel still achieve its objectives in the war?   Join Host Elizabeth Puranam Guests: Andreas Krieg - Assistant Professor, Defence Studies Dept., King's College London.

Where is the ongoing war in the Middle East headed? Can Israel survive when it seems the whole world is lining up against it, and many chant “from the river to the sea” – meaning there can be no Israeli state – drive all Jews out, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. In what way will events in the Middle East affect you and your family? Can you know? And what about Europe, where there still is a very real war being waged by Western nations against Russia and its allies: China, North Korea, and Iran. Is it possible to know the future? If so, how? And what should we watch for in 2024? At the beginning of each year, we here at Tomorrow's World give you trends to watch in the coming year and beyond. Our predictions come from an ancient source that has proven to be accurate and reliable. That source is the Bible, where God makes this bold statement to the skeptic – Isaiah 46:9-10: I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” (Isaiah 46:9-10) That is a bold statement. Is it true? On today's program you may be shocked at how precise and accurate Bible prophecy is regarding what you are seeing right now in the Middle East. And the Bible shows that events in that part of the world will affect the rest of the world. To complement this program, we are offering you our free resource, The Middle East in Prophecy, so be sure to have writing material available so you can take down our contact information to receive your free copy of The Middle East in Prophecy. I'll be back in five seconds to reveal what the Bible foretells about Jerusalem, about the Jewish state called Israel, and how all of this will affect you and your loved ones. Stay with me as we explore – 2024 in Bible Prophecy.

For an update on Israel's ground offensive in Gaza, AKA Israel's War on Terrorism, host Cliff May is joined by FDD experts Jonathan Schanzer — FDD Senior Vice President for Research and author of Gaza Conflict 2021: Hamas, Israel and Eleven Days of War — and FDD Senior Fellow Jacob Nagel, who previously served as Israel's National Security Advisor under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.They unpack IDF findings from inside (and underneath) the Shifa hospital complex in Gaza. They discuss the broader challenge that Israel faces with Hamas' expansive network of underground tunnels lurking beneath even more hospitals and other civilian infrastructure all over Gaza — how deep are they? Can Israel actually destroy every single one of them? Is it where Hamas is hiding hostages? They explain why Qatar has yet to broker a "deal" between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and why relying on Qatar for that in the first place was "ridiculous" — one of our experts even shares what he thinks is Israel's most promising course of action to secure hostages.

It is wonderful to have you back with us. Thank you so much for your time today. (Brigitte Gabriel) I'm so delighted to be back with you, Peter.  So good, and I wish we were talking about a different subject rather than what is happening at the moment in the Middle East and Israel. But first, the viewers can find you @ACTBrigitte and they can also get you on your website brigittegabriel .com, just dot com at the end. And just in case our viewers haven't come across Brigitte before she's been with us before but she is national security analyst, New York Times best -selling author and chairman of Act for America and her latest bestseller is Rise in Defense of Judeo -Christian Values and Freedom. I want to get your thoughts on, I mean there's Hamas, there's Islam, there's the Israeli response, there's Benjamin Netanyahu's political legacy, intelligence failures, international political and media response, danger of spreading, etc, etc. There's so many pieces to this. Let's see what we can unpack in the next 45 minutes. Maybe start at the I mean, October the 7th, the worst attack, I think, in modern day Israel, over a thousand citizens murdered by Hamas on that day. What were your thoughts, I guess, whenever you first saw that breaking? What were your initial thoughts? Disbelief. If I can describe it in one word, disbelief. Watching Jewish people run for their lives, being chased by Hamas terrorists, watching Hamas holding girls, running with them, the girl on the motorcycle, kids running, Hamas parading women, girls, and trucks and Jeeps. I mean, it was disbelief that this could actually happen in Israel to Israelis on Israeli territory. The first question on my mind was, what happened to security? I mean, Israel is known for the intelligence. The intelligence failure was the first and biggest question that popped up in my mind. How could this be? The intelligence failure, how did it happen? I think a lot of people worldwide were in utter shock that this happened in Israel, that Hamas, was able to pull something like this. I mean, look, you and I know people. We have followed the Palestinian problem. We have followed Palestinian news. Nobody in Gaza can pull this off. This is not brains that put this together in Gaza. So, immediately, we knew that, you know, as a terrorism analyst who's been following this for years, I knew that Iran was behind it. I mean, being born and raised in Lebanon, following the progression of Hezbollah in Lebanon, growing, becoming an army, becoming a major army, a structure, discipline, training, all provided by Iran, funding provided by Iran. I knew that Iran was going to be behind the Hamas massacre. So these are all the questions that immediately came to my mind. But again, the word disbelief is what me and many other people across the globe probably felt at that moment. Yeah, there's so many questions, and you're right. One of the reasons I really wanted you on, Brigitte, because you're having grown up in Lebanon, understanding the regional side, understanding the religious context, and now obviously living in America and seeing it from a U .S. perspective. So you bring a fascinating myriad of thoughts to this issue and you're right. My first question was how has this happened? How did the Israeli government, the intelligence services, Mossad known throughout the world for how lethal they are, for how well they conduct, for, you don't know what's going to happen until it happens and then this happens. And my thoughts were actually, if I was an Israeli citizen, I would feel fairly unsafe because that trust in those institutions seems to have gone. Is that a kind of a fair assessment? I think what led to this, this is a great lead into what led to this, because this is what happens when you take your eye off the ball. This is what happens when you start bickering with each other, forgetting that, and this applies to Israel and America, by the way, because we are experiencing the same type of division in America. But in Israel, for the last year, the Jewish people in Israel, the Israelis have felt such division. The country was so totally divided at each other's throat. They forgot that they are actually persecuted by everybody around them. Everybody around them wants their annihilation. And the Jewish people and the Israeli people in Israel forgot that you need to always be united when it comes to your security. I think their hatred towards Bibi Netanyahu, their hatred towards different aspects of government, the right versus the left, the left versus the right, the religious bloc versus everybody else. I think that division and remember I mean I heard even reservists were refusing to show up even to the reserve in the last year in Israel. So there was many problems leading to this. And this goes to show you that we are fighting an enemy who is determined to wipe Israel off the map. Just because Israel was distracted and the Israelis were distracted, bickering with each other over the court system, over the voting system, over the right versus the religious, versus the liberal, versus the left, and everybody's fighting amongst each other, Hamas did not lose sight of its goal. The Palestinians have never wavered in their hatred towards Israel. And no matter how much they bicker with each other, the Palestinians, they are united on one thing and one thing alone, and that is the killing of all the Jews and driving them into the sea. So what happened on October 7th was a wake -up call for Israelis. I think every Israeli that was living in Israel on that day, including those Jews who were visiting from all over the world, Because remember, you know, this was a holiday, Simchat Torah. Everybody was visiting with their families. They were celebrating the holiday in Israel. This is a time when everybody visits Israel. And I think this was a wake -up call for the Jews worldwide to realize anti -Semitism is real. It's not just little pockets here and there. Oh, maybe it's on the rise. I think what happened on October 7th showed all the Jews worldwide, including Israelis, that the people worldwide hate you, they are on the streets demonstrating all over the globe. Sydney, Australia, New York, Canada, whatever country, France, England, whatever country around the world, they are demonstrating against you. And this is why the Jewish people worldwide need to be united on one thing, and that is their security and preservation of their life, their faith, their state, their unity, no matter what happens, no matter how much they bicker with each other on other things, they should never take their eyes off of the security of the State of Israel. You're right, because no other country has to fight for their survival and be prepared at every, every single day. Can I ask about the response? So the response from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been full fury, and rightly so. What is your kind of assessment as you look at that military response? Because it's a dangerous situation going into Gaza. And I think in the past, Israel have failed to deal with this. So, I mean, as you look at the military situation, how do you see that? I think good for them for showing up in force. I think this time Israel knows this is an existential threat. This is not just words like it used to be in the past. Look, Israel has never been in this situation before. I mean never Israel, before Israel when it was attacked it dealt with countries, you know, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, they were countries recognized on the world stage, right now Israel is dealing with Hamas which is a group of militia funded by Iran on the southern border and the northern border They're dealing with Hezbollah, which is not a country. It's a terrorist organization operating within a country. They have actually taken control of Lebanon, but Hezbollah is not a country and Hamas is not a country. But they are both funded by Iran, which is an Islamist country. Devoted for the wiping, for wiping Israel off the map and so good for Netanyahu for showing full force. Look, I am pro Netanyahu. because Netanyahu understands this threat. I'm not pro person per se whether in America or in Israel. So the people come and go, it doesn't matter who's serving in whatever position right now, they come and go. I started my organization Act for America in the United States, President George Bush was in power. Bush came and left, Obama came to power. Obama came and left, President Trump came to power. Got framed and left, President Biden is in power. In one year, we will no longer have President Biden in power and somebody else is going to come. So I do not look at the person in power. I look at the policies that they support and Netanyahu from the beginning all along throughout all his political career. He is a national security hawk. He is somebody that the enemies of Israel fear because they know they cannot push Netanyahu. They cannot manipulate Netanyahu. They cannot intimidate Netanyahu, the same way people throughout the world knew that leaders, corrupt leaders that they could not intimidate or or put fear into the heart of President Donald J. Trump in the United States. They did not know what he would do if he was attacked. And the same thing with Netanyahu. So I do support Netanyahu's full force going into Gaza. Good for him to doing that. And I hope that they will not have a ceasefire. Yes, there's a lot of destruction. Look, it's collateral damage. You know, Israel did not ask for this. The Palestinians asked for this. Remember, Peter, Israel left Gaza in 2005, and they took out every single Jewish person out of Gaza. I mean, remember the fights in Gush Katif when even the Jewish people did not want to leave and the Israeli IDF turned against its own people, kicking and screaming, dragging them out, taking them, evacuating Gaza in order to turn Gaza to the Palestinians. Israel not only took the Jewish people who were alive out of Gaza, Israel went in and dug the bodies out of the Jewish cemeteries of the people who were buried in Gaza because they knew what the Palestinians are going to do to the cemeteries. You and I know what they do. They have no respect for anything. So by the end of 2005, there were no Jewish people alive or dead in Gaza. Gaza could have been an oasis. Gaza could have been Singapore. The Palestinians had an opportunity after opportunity to build Gaza to become Singapore, to build Gaza to become a commercial centre. They have received billions of dollars from the world, but they did not do that. Instead, Hamas invested in building tunnels, billions of dollars that went into the Palestinian authority that Hamas siphoned. Their leaders got rich, they built tunnels instead of investing in their own people, and now they are paying the price. And that's exactly why you are seeing the level of destruction in Gaza, because Israel is not only trying to destroy the building above ground, the majority of the threat, the main threat is what's underground. And in order for you to destroy the tunnels underground, Israel has to use the force that it is using and we are seeing the level of destruction that we are seeing. And Israel has to see this through, ignoring all calls for ceasefire from anywhere else in the world. No one else in the world is calling for ceasefire, Peter. Lives in Sderot. Live in Jerusalem. They don't. So, they need to allow the people who live in these areas, who are under the attacks of Hamas, to be able to defend themselves. Of course you hear some from the international community saying those poor Palestinians living in Gaza, they're pawns of the Israelis, they are suffering under the Israelis, they have nothing, they live in a open prison and yet when you look at the international community, you're right the money that's gone in but also what has happened, I think, is a fault of the west, because the west have seen the people there living under Hamas and haven't thought of doing a thing about it. So, I mean, how do you see that? Because there are people there, but that narrative that, oh, it's all the Israelis' fault, and yet you're right. Those living there have had, certainly the government have had, every opportunity to build something special and prosperous. Look, Peter, everybody that's about, oh, the poor Palestinians, you know, Hamas is bad, but it's the poor Palestinians who are paying the price. Who do you think Hamas is? Hamas did not fly in through the breeze and latch on some tree or latch on some hospital. Hamas are the Palestinians in Gaza. They are a part of the Palestinians in Gaza. They are elected by the people in Gaza. You know, I speak in my first book titled Because They Hate. I talk about when Hamas did the first election in Gaza. Remember, Israel pulled out. They left everything to the Palestinians. So the Palestinians had their own election, their first election. One of the lady that was elected, her name was Om Nidal. She became known as the the Om Al Muqawama, the mother of the resistance. And the reason why she ran, the platform she ran on is because she has video. She sent three of her sons to die as suicide bombers. She actually, part of her campaign was showing videos of her standing next to her sons putting their suicide belt on. Sending them to Israel to blow themselves up and they did blow themselves up and they did die and they did kill Israelis. So she ran on the platform. I already gave three sons. I have another seven to give. That's why she was elected as a member of the government in Hamas. And that's just the first example in 2006. Who do people think Hamas is? Hamas are the Palestinians living in Gaza. And that's exactly why, you know, they teach Hamas controls the ministry of education. Hamas controls the ministry of health. Hamas controls the ministry of defence. Hamas control the ministry of communication. They control everything in Gaza. And who do you think works in these people? What do you think, Hamas are like five people that just parachuted into Gaza? They are all the Palestinians living in Gaza. This is the reality that the world has a very difficult problem time accepting. And here's another thing about the poor Palestinians. Where are the Palestinian voices that when the Hamas terrorists went into Israel on October 7th and kidnapped, okay, we do not want to get into the details about massacring the babies, cutting off the heads, raping women. Burning babies in ovens, etc., etc. Let's talk about the women and the children that they kidnapped and took back to Gaza. Where are the Palestinian voices saying you can't kidnap a six -month -old baby from his mom? You can't kidnap a two -year -old little girl. You can't rape women. We are mothers. We are wives. We are grandmothers We are women, you know, you can fight man to man, but you cannot rape women. You cannot kidnap children Where are the voices of the Palestinians mothers nowhere to be found as a matter of fact? What we saw was basically the girls that Hamas took as hostage, raped, and dragged as dead after they killed in the streets of Gaza, that girl was being kicked, shoved, dismantled, instead of the people saying, no, we don't do this to dead people, especially naked Jewish women being paraded down the streets. Instead, they cheered them on with such glee, with such pride. Even the Palestinians in Gaza who were part of the Hamas massacre on October 7th. I mean, who can forget the guy calling his father, Father, put my mother on the phone. You're going to be so proud. I killed with my own hands 10 Israelis. I just couldn't wait to tell you so you can be proud of me. Who are these people? These are the people of Gaza. These are the Palestinians in Gaza. This is a reflection of a decayed society from the inside. Their end goal is destruction. They celebrate murder and cutting people off and kidnapping people and raping people. They celebrate it as a joyful act. Not even the Nazis rejoiced like that. While the Nazis wanted to kill their enemies, they did not send their own children to die and then celebrated their death just to kill their enemies. The Nazis did not do that. The Nazis knew they were doing something wrong. That's why they did it in secret. That's why they shot people in the back so they don't have to look them in the eye when they kill them. It's totally different with the Palestinians. So for all the people who are crying about the poor Palestinians in Gaza, oh, the poor Palestinians paying the price, the Palestinians in Gaza are Hamas. You make your bed, you lay in it. Yeah, and it's shocking when you see that celebration of evil, the celebration of murder, the joy. It's moronic, really. Yeah. But also, when you were speaking, I was thinking, actually, there are probably many people in Gaza who know where these people are being held, these hostages, and yet there's no rush to free them or to release them. And the international community talks about a ceasefire, but release the hostages, then by all means we can have some kind of conversation, but the call of the international community is for a ceasefire. It's actually not for the release of the hostages at all. And that's really surprised me. Right, they want the ceasefire basically for the Palestinians and Israel should not have a ceasefire. Look, last time when Israel got into a war with Gaza and they had a ceasefire, Hamas kidnapped a soldier. To this day, he has not returned back to his family. That's what they do when there's a ceasefire. The international community who is calling on a ceasefire, for what? So Palestinians can escape, so they can leave. If the Palestinians can leave in four hours, which is now the pause that they're talking about, don't you think Hamas fighters can escape as well? And Israel knows this, the reality on the ground. You know, very different than the young American nitwits demonstrating on the streets, the college kids who do not know their own history in the United States, let alone the history of overseas and the Palestinian -Israeli conflict. And that's exactly why they take to the streets, they are demonstrating for the ceasefire. The ceasefire will hurt only Israel. And actually, instead of preventing bloodshed, it may prevent bloodshed in the short term. Long term, it's going to create even more bloodshed because it's going to empower Hamas. Hamas is going to dance a victory lap, hey, look, we forced the Israelis to cease fire. We are successful against our enemies. We are getting our demands. We get to keep the hostages. We don't have to give anybody back. And we get to have a ceasefire. And meanwhile, Hamas is going to use the ceasefire to move locations, to give a rest to their soldiers, to whatever it is, take a nap, move their ammunition, it all benefits Hamas, not Israel. And right now Israel needs to take care of Hamas, period. When you look over at the West Bank, you kind of see how, although it's supposedly the same Palestinian people group, and yet they don't have the same desire to murder or kill. There is that tension, of course, but actually it's amazing when you see two groups that call themselves the same, and yet one is hell bent on murder, and the other actually complains, but actually accepts that they are living beside a neighbour who they have issues with, but they get on with life. One side can get on with life, the other side can't, and that kind of contrast of the same supposed people group is quite intriguing. Well, here's the intriguing part. The people in Fatah and the Palestinians in the West Bank are looked at as a sell-out to Israel. They're not trusted by Hamas and the people in Gaza. And actually what's so interesting, Peter, is in the last six weeks. There is such infighting. This is what the media is not talking about. I think they are up now to 200 people killed in the West Bank, Palestinians on each other because the Palestinian people want the Fatah leaders to join Hamas the Palestinian people in the West Bank are now saying to each other, if you have a rifle, because you know a lot of them have rifles that they shoot at weddings and celebration. They're saying if you have a rifle you need to either use it or give it to Hamas. So don't fool yourself by thinking, oh, the Palestinian people in the West Bank are much nicer. The only reason they're much nicer is because they're not funded by Iran. They don't have a way to communicate with Iran to go kill the Jews. But rest assured, right now, they are empowered. They are inspired. They are excited. They are mobilized. They are thinking, how can we become like Hamas? How can we make a name for ourselves like Hamas? As the heroes, the brave, the Islamic fighters, instead of the cowards, the weak, the sell off to Israel. This is the talk on the Arab streets right now. And this is the talk on the Arab street, not just within the Palestinian territories, but throughout the Arabic world on the streets. Don't kid yourself. The Arabic streets are cheering Hamas because they all hate the Jews. It's not about the Palestinians. It's about hating Israel and hating the Jews. And I think a little history lesson here is very important. Remember, Peter. When the PLO was founded in 1964. When the PLO was founded in 1964, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, it was founded to wipe Israel off the map. At that time, Gaza was in the hand of Egypt with an Egyptian flag flying over Gaza, and the West Bank was in the hands of Jordan. A Jordanian flag was flying over al -Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. So when Yasser Arafat started the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization. He was not liberating Gaza or the West Bank. Those were Jordan and Egypt. So what was he liberating? He was liberating back to the line of 48, Israel proper. They did not want an Israeli state to exist in the Middle East. But most people do not know their history. Most people ignore history. The history is boring. It's not interesting, but you know, somehow it's fashionable today in any country in the West. Not just in our country, not to teach history. History is boring, so they ignore it. But that's the reality on the ground. They want to wipe Israel off the map. Fatah is no better than Hamas. Fatah is just weaker than Hamas. Meanwhile, the leaders of both organizations, the leaders of Fatah and the leaders of Hamas, are all mega millionaires, multi, multi, multi millionaires, from all the aid that has gone to the Palestinian Territory. They siphoned it off to their pocket and it didn't go to the poor people who needed it. It went to their pockets with all their banks in Switzerland and in Paris and in London and everywhere else. They are all rich so they have a vested interest in keeping the charade going. You touched on that hatred of Israel and I mean I very much see this and the media don't talk about it in the religious context, in the hatred that Islam has of the Jewish people and that eternal enmity or hatred has been there for 1,300 years plus. Of course, no one wants to talk about that because then you've got another issue that you have to deal with. If this is just land, then you can discuss that and carve a bit here, carve a bit there. But I mean, that conversation needs to be had and that's why I think actually you do have a stalemate because you've got the history of hatred and the only thing that seems to make the Islamic nations happy would be wiping Israel off the face of the earth. Exactly. Jew hatred in context of Islam. This is the subject that nobody wants to talk about because it's very uncomfortable. You know, two things people do not want to talk about, politics and religion. And when you're talking about the religion of Islam, you are talking about politics and religion mixed in one. Islam is a political movement cloaked in religion. So let's talk about Islam. You know, we all heard about the yellow star and you know, and people think that was a German invention. The yellow star was an Islamic invention in the ninth century, in Iraq by Khalifa al-Mutawakkil, the second Khalifa of Iraq who invented the yellow star to identify the Jews as they walk down the street because Jews under Islam are considered nahas. Nahas is an Arabic world that describes Filth, bodily waste, dogs, those are considered nahas. Jews are in the same category. So the Khalifa al -Mutawakkil invented the yellow star to identify the Jews when they walked down the street. So when they were walking down the street, if a Muslim man was coming, the Jew had to cross to the other side of the street as not to dirty the Muslim man who was of higher status, clean who was walking this way. That's why they invented the yellow star. Germany, Hitler copied the yellow star because Germany was working with the Mufti Hussain in Jerusalem, who flew to Germany, worked with Hitler, shared with them what the Islamists did to defeat the Jews. And that's how Germany came up with the yellow star and used it. And as a matter of fact, Hitler had a Muslim division headed by Mufti al -Husseini of Jerusalem who was advising Hitler on how to deal with the Jews. Wow, but expand because obviously Hamas, even in the name, is what Islamic resistance movement, it is purely Islam. And you can't, no matter how much the international community wants to get away from that they can't. And of course that is the fear that that religious context pulls other nations in. That is obviously the big fear. Well, look, other nations know this stuff. Don't you think Jordan knows this stuff? Don't you think Saudi Arabia knows this stuff? Why do you think in Saudi Arabia, people like you and me cannot visit Al -Harabayn, cannot visit Al -Kaaba, cannot visit the Medina? Why do you think that is? Because we are considered filth. We're not allowed because we are Christians and Jews. We are not allowed to enter those cities. Not even Donald Trump went there when he visited Saudi Arabia. Nobody can go there unless you're a Muslim. So it's not that they don't know that stuff. It's we on our side who are pretending this stuff does not exist because we are uncomfortable discussing it because it makes us uncomfortable discussing it. Nobody wants to talk about it because nobody wants to create ripples. It's time. This is why we talk about why Islam needs reforming and why these moderate leaders need to stand up and speak up. But the moderate leaders only stand up and speak up out of fear of Israel and out of respect for Israel. Sadat signed the peace treaty with Israel, not because he loved the Jews so much, but because after the 67 war and the 73 war, they realized they cannot beat the Jews. And if you cannot beat the Jews, okay, you have to live with them. We might as well live in peace. He realized, I'm not gonna spend the rest of my days fighting with Israel. And that's why Sadat said, let's sign a peace treaty. Jordan did the same thing. Jordan followed, not because they loved Israel so much, Because they realized look we have been involved with war with Israel and 57 and 67 and 73. We're not gonna be able to win against them. They are there to stay we might as well have peace. Notice today after all the problems. This is where you are seeing now more writers in the Arabic press. Writing whether in Egypt and Jordan if we would have known Israel could be defeated. Maybe we shouldn't have signed the peace treaty with Israel. People, you know, I know Israelis want to be tolerated. They talk about tolerance all the time. Oh, tolerance, tolerance is a major thing in the Jewish language. I would much rather be respected than tolerated because people tolerate you only for so long as long as they have to tolerate you. But when they respect you, tolerance becomes a side effect of respect because they're not going to want to mess with you. And so this is why, you know, this is an issue that more people need to be talking about. And this is why we need to stand with Israel. We need to support Israel. Israel is truly the front line on this war against Western civilization. Israel is the pinnacle. It's the tip of the spear. We need to realize that Iran, which calls Israel the great Satan. Remember, Israel is the little Satan. We are the big Satan. We are the end goal. Israel is just in the way in the Middle East. Iran wants to establish hegemony, and Israel is just an eyesore in its shoulder. Tell me, because those countries around, and you obviously have an understanding growing up in Lebanon, you look at Lebanon and Syria being countries in chaos, obviously Hezbollah based up there in the north in Lebanon, but then you've got also on the other side the kind of the economic side that Israel have normalized ties with countries, trade links, and the relationships with Egypt and Jordan are probably better than they have been in the past. And then of course, you've got Iran being the outlier that anything can happen there, literally. How does that kind of fit in that closeness with some countries and not wanting tension because realizing that money talks and other countries that are in a mess and therefore anything can spring up and spark things further? Well, peace leads to economic prosperity. Right now, the reason why they are making money with Israel in Jordan and in Egypt and in Qatar and in those areas that signed, like Dubai, and those areas that were involved in the Abraham Accord as well that Trump was trying to put together and bring together. Peace brings prosperity along with it. And when you don't have peace, you don't have the prosperity. And right now, even though we're talking about prosperity and economic cooperation, how many Israelis do you think right now would dare walk in Egypt wearing their yellow star? Any street in Egypt. How many Israelis do you know right now can go or will go vacation in Jordan and wear their yellow star and walk down the street? Zero. Zero. You and I know the truthful answer to that question. Zero. So, people have economic prosperity and they have peace with you when they respect you, when they perceive you as strong. Thankfully, that is holding in Jordan, that is holding in Egypt. Hopefully, it's going to hold in other countries as well. The reason in Lebanon and in Syria and those other countries, they don't have peace with Israel is because they've got Iran supporting them fight Israel. You've got Iran trying to build another counter power to America in the Middle East. So Iran is working with Russia, which is supporting Assad in Syria. Remember, Russia propped up Assad in Syria and kept him protected. He is still here. What was the last time we heard anything about Bashar Assad in Syria? Remember five years ago it was all the news. He gassed his own people. Speaking of gassing his own people, How come we were not seeing demonstrations in the streets in every major city across the globe about the six thousand Muslims in Syria who were gassed by their own leader Bashar al Assad. Well, where were those demonstrations? What those lives don't matter? Only Palestinian lives matter? You know, yeah, the double standard is mind boggling, but the reason why Hezbollah is empowered, Syria is empowered is because they are funded by Iran. And they will continue to be funded by Iran as long as America has a weak president like senile Joe Biden or Obama before him, who empowered Iran, who sent pallets of money to Iran like Obama in the middle of the night in cash on pallets landed at the airport. Biden, right before this whole brouhaha, gave $6 billion to Iran that now we're trying to pause and put a pause on so they cannot touch it. Why? That's exactly how Iran can use the money to fund terrorism. When you have a president like President Trump, who basically had Iran almost suffocating, he had tightened the rope around Iran's neck so much with the sanctions, they were on the verge of collapse. But unfortunately, you saw what happens with the election in the United States. We have now senile Joe Biden sitting at the White House. And again, Iran is back being empowered, courtesy of the Democratic Party in the United States. Well let me ask you about that international community response because it's been initially intriguing watching all the voices come out in support of Israel because you can't do anything else when you see what happened on October the 7th. We've then seen the massive demonstrations, we have them every weekend here in London, all over the world, we see it on social media. And there's that pressure on governments and it's intriguing to watch, obviously Biden initially coming on in support of Israel. That goes against the Democrat party. There'll be tensions there. How do you see kind of all that playing out? Actually, can I answer the thing about Biden, you know, going and supporting Israel, you know, which was against the Democratic Party? Okay, let's be clear. Biden was not there to support Israel. Biden was forced Israel to invite him, Blinken, showing up immediately in Israel, sitting with the War Cabinet for seven hours, trying to convince them not to go into Gaza, forced them to invite Joe Biden. Joe Biden went there because Joe Biden knew as long as he is in the Middle East, he is basically Hamas's human shield, which will stop Israel from invading Gaza. As long as Biden was in Israel, Israel was not gonna go into Gaza. And the reason why Biden was there is to tell Israel, look, we're not going to give you or stand with you or give you the bunker buster bombs unless you agree on humanitarian aid to Gaza and to allow the humanitarian aid to enter. Biden was not there to support Israel. Biden was there to twist Israel's arm to agree to the Biden handlers, because Biden doesn't have a brain, it's whoever handling Biden, telling Biden that, you know, we need to send support for Hamas. We need to allow these trucks to enter and give gate to Israel. And they told Israel, we are not going to give you bunker busters unless you agree to that. Knowing that they had Israel by the you know what. Israel needed the bunker busters because that's the only way they can bomb the tunnels before they go into Gaza. They needed to be able to block and destroy those tunnels before they enter Gaza on the ground. And that's why Biden was there. Biden was not there because he loves Israel. He wants Israel to be strong. Biden was there for a reason, and the reason was more to benefit Hamas than to actually benefit Israel. We've seen the same from the media initially, as what else could you do, in these pictures from the seventh but then I've certainly witnessed a slow change certainly in the UK looking at the European media all focusing on, well these poor people they're simply living their lives, they're in a hospital that gets attacked by the Israelis and the suffering in the pictures and that's coming out and Israel have always had a PR problem in the media always and you see this beginning to come out again. Yes they still and they still don't know how to defend themselves even though they've got a Hasbara department you know we're willing to get together and give some tips to the Israeli government on how to defend themselves, on how to do PR but they don't and look I have sent emails to Israel I have personally I have appealed to the Israeli government to release the footage, the Hamas footage of the massacres that they have done. Israel has not released it yet. The world needs to see the images just like ISIS. You know, Hamas recorded their atrocities just like ISIS used to record theirs. ISIS used to send theirs to Al Jazeera and Al Jazeera gladly aired it of the beheading of the 20 Christian cops on the shores of whatever they beheaded them, or whatever, massacres, burning a guy in a tank, a pilot. I mean, remember, ISIS used to brag about these things, and Al Jazeera was glad to show all these images. On the other hand, Israel is reluctant to release the Hamas footage. Shooting the rape, shooting the cutting of a mother's stomach and getting the baby out. I mean, it is horrific images that the world has not seen yet. So this is exactly what gives the Palestinian a way out to saying, oh, it's ill horror. It's all hearsay None of this happened. This is all Israeli lies. Meanwhile Israel's killing all these Palestinians, which is absolutely not true. I mean the Palestinians who are the Ministry of Health are broadcasting information out the, exaggerated beyond exaggeration. I mean they're talking about that 30,000 people dead in Gaza so far and all the wounded and injured. Really? There are 3,000 hospital beds in Gaza. So where are the rest? Where are they? Show us images. Okay, so 30,000 people died. Where did you bury them? Where are they? Where did you bury them? I mean, you know, the numbers don't add up. The Gazans are not talking about how many Hamas soldiers have died. So far from the beginning of this war, we have not heard about one Hamas soldier dead. Really? With all the bombing, not one soldier dead? What about the heads of Hamas that died? Not one? We hear it from Israel when they kill somebody, but we don't hear it from Hamas. So we know the numbers are lying. Israel needs to come out and show the world the footage that they have, the monstrosities that Hamas committed against Israel, perpetrated against Israel. And I think if Israel does that, we will see a little bit of a change on the world stage with the sympathy. But Israel is not releasing those messages and all they're hearing is from the Palestinians saying this is all lies, nothing really happened. Otherwise Israel would have showed it. You know, Israel talks about beheaded children. We haven't seen anything yet. They've got to show it. And so that's the problem. And again, the media is always on the side of the Palestinians because the Palestinians scream and yell and talk about feelings while the Israelis are about logic. Israelis talk about legal stuff. You know, resolution, you know, UN article resolution 242, article one and two, they send you these big generals who speak with heavy accents, while the Palestinians, on the other hand, talk about. Oh, the poor old woman sitting in the hot sun in Gaza at a cross point for eight hours. She was about to faint and pass out because the bloody Israelis wouldn't let her pass. So the Palestinians talk about human suffering. They paint images with their words, while the Israelis talk about resolution 242, article one and two. That's how Israel loses the PR relationship, the PR relation. Let me finish off on kind of how this plays out. I mean, can you defeat Hamas? Obviously Netanyahu, this is his third time as PM. He has been a fixture on the Israeli political scene since what, the mid 90s? Probably before then, but Prime Minister since 96 in three spells. I mean, he's fighting for his legacy as well. And I'm wondering, it actually is, is it achievable to destroy an enemy that not only has absolute hatred for you, but also has spent so long preparing for this. And Israel thought when they pulled out of Gaza in 2005, they thought that's it. We're now out of this, but now they've been sucked back in. So, kind of as you look ahead, BB's legacy, but also is it possible to actually get rid of this neighbour that is always on the edge of attacking? You cannot get rid of an enemy that doesn't fear you. Back when Israel actually fought wars to win wars, not caring what the UN thought, not caring about the world media, back when Israel won 67, back when Israel won 73, the whole world was on the side of Israel. Israel fought a bloody war without caring what the UN thinks of Israel. So when Israel fought wars to win wars the people respected Israel when the new Israeli population started fighting wars thinking. Oh is the UN gonna like us? Oh my gosh. We know that you're gonna say bad things about us. Oh my goodness. What is America gonna think about us and the new generation wanted to live in a place? Oh, we don't want to fight wars anymore. We want to leave, you know. We want to have peace with them, this whole new weak generation who thought we can have peace with our enemies because, after all, we're all wonderful, and we all want to have a party, and we all want to go to concerts. And of course, Palestinian children would love to attend concerts as well. And of course, Palestinians want to live in peace as well. The Israeli side forgot what it's like. Because they had moved so far away from the Holocaust, they forgot how much people hated them. And when people hate you so much, I think this was a wake -up call to Israel to realize people really want to kill you, and not only kill you in Israel. They want to kill the Jews anywhere else in the world. They hate the Jewish people. When you see people in America screaming death to the Jews, when you see people in Australia screaming, annihilate the Jews, when you hear people from Europe on the streets, you know, less than 100 years since the Holocaust, screaming, kill the Jews. The Jewish people worldwide need to realize we have to create a country where we have to fight to survive, period. It's about us. It's not about anybody else. People in Australia do not want to kill the Americans. They're not saying kill all the Christians. They're not saying wipe the Buddhists off the map. They want to wipe the Jews off the map. So we need to defend ourselves. And so, for Netanyahu. Netanyahu's legacy is going to be, he fought as hard as he can for Israel. It's the weaklings in Israel who got so distracted and the little minutiae about whatever. And I'm not familiar with the politics inside Israel. You know, obviously I'm an outsider. I have no idea what they were fighting about. You know, we hear on the outside they were fighting over the judges and the judicial system, but obviously we're not members of the country. We do not know the intricacies of the inner fighting or the disagreements within whatever country. But when you look at the big scope, when you look at the world picture, at policies, like I mentioned to you at the beginning of this interview, I don't vote for a man, I vote for policies. Because like I said in the beginning of this interview, when I started my organization, George Bush was in power, Obama came to power, Trump came to power, Biden is in power, Biden's going to go, whoever else is going to come to power. I look at policies, not the man. The man going to come and go. And what Israel needs is a man who is willing to fight for the security and safety for Israel. Forget the name. Look at the policies. Are the policies good for Israel's survival? Is Iran going to fear an Ahud Barak or are they going to fear Netanyahu? Is Iran going to fear a lefty controller of Israel or as a right wing war hawk controller of Israel. You have to think through your enemy's eyes in order to secure your own safety. And so the only way Israel, Israel is going to be judged, not Netanyahu as a leader, but Israel, Israel's leadership in general, because Israel is a democratic nation and it's more than one man. It's a leadership. They elect their representative. And so Israel is going be judged whether the Jews took their eye off the ball and became too weak and too gullible to think they can have peace with people who repeatedly say, we hate you, we want to kill you and the Jews are not listening to those and they are not hearing the lessons of history, believe those who say they want to kill you because they usually follow through that's how history is going to judge Israel, not Netanyahu as a person, but Israeli leadership in general. Brigitte Gabriel, I love having you on. Your insights on not only Islam, but the region in the Middle East is phenomenal. I love the work that ACT for America do, actforamerica.org, one of the premier grassroots organizations in America that will show the viewers and listeners how to get involved and how to really make a difference. So thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you for having me with you. And I encourage everybody, If you love Israel, if you agree with my point of view and the way I was discussing, please go to actforamerica.org and join us. We work on national security policy, and we believe Israel is a part of America's national security. That's how we were able to censure Rashida Tlaib. We led the charge in censuring Rashida Tlaib in Congress. We led the charge in isolating the support for Israel from the big bill in finance to make sure Israel gets the support. If you are a lover for Israel, please go to our website, actforamerica.org. Take action on our Act Now National. We have many bills right now to support Israel and the Jewish people and Israeli policies. Please take action. If you are an American watching us right now, anywhere in the world, please take action on our Act Now campaign and go to actforamerica.org. Thank you so much, Peter, for having me with you. It's always such a pleasure to be with you. I love having you on and it's perfect that you've left the viewers with something they can actually do because I think often people feel maybe powerless in situations and it's great that this, at the finishing this interview, they can go and they can go to the website and they can actually sign up and make a difference. So thank you for what you do and Brigitte, thank you for your time today. Thank you, my friend. Have a great day.

Since Hamas carried out the 7 October attacks on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people, Lebanon has been on edge, closely watching Hezbollah. The group has intensified its attacks on Israel, which is retaliating. But both sides have apparently taken steps to avoid a dangerous escalation, and most strikes have been limited to the border area. This, however, could change. After meeting Blinken, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel “refuses a temporary cease-fire that doesn't include a return of our hostages,” referring to some 240 people Hamas abducted during its attack. He said Israel was pressing ahead with its military offensive with “all of its power.” On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, the global community is very much on edge right now, and for good reason. Hamas has proven themselves to be a very tricky adversary, and indeed did more damage to Israel in a single day than any other day since the Holocaust. Can Israel beat Hamas? Sure, they can, but it will take time. Hezbollah on the other hand, is much more powerful than Hamas, with 100 times the munitions provided to them from Iran and Syria. A two front war for Israel against both Hamas and Hezbollah would require the participation of the United States who is already in position, but where does that take us? It delivers us right to the doorstep of the front lines of the end times! All this and more on today's Prophecy News Podcast.

Ezekiel 17 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 Then this message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, give this riddle, and tell this story to the people of Israel. 3 Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: “A great eagle with broad wings and long feathers,    covered with many-colored plumage,    came to Lebanon.He seized the top of a cedar tree4     and plucked off its highest branch.He carried it away to a city filled with merchants.    He planted it in a city of traders.5 He also took a seedling from the land    and planted it in fertile soil.He placed it beside a broad river,    where it could grow like a willow tree.6 It took root there and    grew into a low, spreading vine.Its branches turned up toward the eagle,    and its roots grew down into the ground.It produced strong branches    and put out shoots.7 But then another great eagle came    with broad wings and full plumage.So the vine now sent its roots and branches    toward him for water,8 even though it was already planted in good soil    and had plenty of waterso it could grow into a splendid vine    and produce rich leaves and luscious fruit. 9 “So now the Sovereign Lord asks:Will this vine grow and prosper?    No! I will pull it up, roots and all!I will cut off its fruit    and let its leaves wither and die.I will pull it up easily    without a strong arm or a large army.10 But when the vine is transplanted,    will it thrive?No, it will wither away    when the east wind blows against it.It will die in the same good soil    where it had grown so well.” 11 Then this message came to me from the Lord: 12 “Say to these rebels of Israel: Don't you understand the meaning of this riddle of the eagles? The king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took away her king and princes, and brought them to Babylon. 13 He made a treaty with a member of the royal family and forced him to take an oath of loyalty. He also exiled Israel's most influential leaders, 14 so Israel would not become strong again and revolt. Only by keeping her treaty with Babylon could Israel survive. 15 “Nevertheless, this man of Israel's royal family rebelled against Babylon, sending ambassadors to Egypt to request a great army and many horses. Can Israel break her sworn treaties like that and get away with it? 16 No! For as surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, the king of Israel will die in Babylon, the land of the king who put him in power and whose treaty he disregarded and broke. 17 Pharaoh and all his mighty army will fail to help Israel when the king of Babylon lays siege to Jerusalem again and destroys many lives. 18 For the king of Israel disregarded his treaty and broke it after swearing to obey; therefore, he will not escape. 19 “So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will punish him for breaking my covenant and disregarding the solemn oath he made in my name. 20 I will throw my net over him and capture him in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and put him on trial for this treason against me. 21 And all his best warriors will be killed in battle, and those who survive will be scattered to the four winds. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken. 22 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take a branch from the top of a tall cedar, and I will plant it on the top of Israel's highest mountain. 23 It will become a majestic cedar, sending forth its branches and producing seed. Birds of every sort will nest in it, finding shelter in the shade of its branches. 24 And all the trees will know that it is I, the Lord, who cuts the tall tree down and makes the short tree grow tall. It is I who makes the green tree wither and gives the dead tree new life. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I said!”

Israel is engaged in a war it doesn't want and not of its making.A quiet Shabbat morning, also the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah where Jews celebrate finishing reading the Torah and then start to read it again, “In the Beginning”, was shattered by a mass invasion of Hamas terrorists, smashing through the concrete border wall, paragliding into Israel, before rampaging through a music festival killing 260, machine gunning people at the bus stop and in their own homes in Sderot and on kibbutzim. Gruesome videos and pictures swiftly circulated on X, horror one can never unsee.The elderly and babies slaughtered, women raped, bodies taken in to Gaza paraded and desecrated, mothers with children in their arms abducted are all now hostages in Gaza's terror tunnels and tower blocks.Depravity and barbarism reminiscent of the European Holocaust and Russian pogroms. How did Israel's famed security services miss this evil plan fermenting?Can Israel contain this war to just one front? Or when Benjamin Netanyahu says retaliation will change the Middle East does that mean going to the source of this terror, Tehran? Is the long anticipated attack from Hezbollah about to happen? And what catastrophe would this wrought on Israel's towns and cities? How will Israel prevail? These are questions for Israel's former deputy national security adviser, Chuck Freilich, author of "Israeli National Security: A New Strategy for an Era of Change" and his latest, "Israel and the Cyber Threat: How the Startup Nation Became a Global Cyber Power", MirYam Institute's in-house military analyst, Yaakov Lappin and hosted by MirYam Institute CEO, Benjamin Anthony. Support the show

Israel has launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, and there are preparations for a potential ground offensive. The Israeli military has issued an ultimatum, calling for the evacuation of 1.2 million civilians in northern Gaza, urging them to relocate to the southern part of the region.On our show, Dev Goswami and "Def Savvy" Abhishek Bhalla delve into the strategic implications of Israel's decision to launch a ground invasion. Israel's challenge lies in fighting a war in a densely populated area like Gaza, with a high risk of ambushes and booby traps. Drawing parallels with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, they highlight the increased risk of ambushes when transitioning from open areas to urban settings.The discussion also revolves around how Israel, with its professional military, will contend with Hamas, a terrorist organization with a well-established military network. Can they simply bomb the ground tunnels that Hamas operates from? But the identification of these tunnels poses a significant challenge.Can Israel fight the war tactically? Can Israel win the war just by the ground invasion?And regarding the halo around Israeli security forces, we also discuss Fauda; why is it that such a series is mostly celebrated in India and not so much by the western media? Tune in to find out!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Nitin Rawat

From LibertyNation.com: A new war breaks out, or new hostilities in a long-simmering one. Can Israel prosecute an effective war and not kill a staggering number of innocents? If not what should they do? Also – what's the truth abou the charge Hamas beheaded children? We discuss that and more with LN's Dave Patterson, LN's National Security Correspondent, and Tim Donner our Senior Political Analyst.

Israel is heartbroken, the house of Israel is heartbroken. Israel is at war again fighting genocide. It's resilient people are traumatised by shock, horror and grief. A quiet Shabbat morning, also the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah where Jews celebrate finishing reading the Torah and then start to read it again, “In the Beginning”, was shattered by a mass invasion of Hamas terrorists, smashing through the concrete border wall, paragliding into Israel, before rampaging through a music festival killing 260, machine gunning people at the bus stop and in their own homes in Sderot and on kibbutzim. Gruesome videos and pictures swiftly circulated on X, horror one can never unsee. The elderly and babies slaughtered, women raped, bodies taken in to Gaza paraded and desecrated, mothers with children in their arms abducted are all now hostages in Gaza's terror tunnels and tower blocks. Depravity and barbarism reminiscent of the European Holocaust and Russian pogroms. How did Israel's famed security services miss this evil plan fermenting? Can Israel contain this war to just one front? Or when Benjamin Netanyahu says retaliation will change the Middle East does that mean going to the source of this terror, Tehran? Is the long anticipated attack from Hezbollah about to happen? And what catastrophe would this wrought on Israel's towns and cities? There are 220 Israeli hostages. Is a ground invasion the answer? How will Israel prevail? These are questions for Israel's former deputy national security adviser, Chuck Freilich, author of "Israeli National Security: A New Strategy for an Era of Change" and his latest, "Israel and the Cyber Threat: How the Startup Nation Became a Global Cyber Power." This episode also includes moving testimony from Michal Maayan, speaking in New York as Israel's permanent deputy representative. Let's take a step back here, with someone I've come to know over the last couple of years, Chuck Freilich.

The Multipolarity group chat exploded over the weekend, as news of the Silicon Valley Bank implosion began to break. Andrew Collingwood is angry at what amounts to a subsidy for rich depositors. Philip Pilkington reminds us that simple deposit insurance could have solved this - and warns that this rule change is now effectively permanent. What does the world of banking look like, now that the rule: 'all deposits are covered at all sizes' has been instantiated into US orthodoxy? Back in Britain, a Defence Select Committee has heard that it will take ten years for the country to replenish the arms it has already sent to Ukraine. If our enemies won't wait, then surely now is the moment to do something no government has done in half a century - protect and develop British manufacturing? Finally, is Xi Jinping in line for the Nobel Peace Prize? As miraculous bolts from the blue go, the Iran-Saudi deal might be more than Nelson Mandela ever managed. If the Middle East's two duelling regional powers are actually making peace, then how will those left out of step by this reorientation fare? Can Israel still trust America? Or will it too have to carve a new, multipolar path.

Can Israel and Palestine find a way to de-escalate the violence that has flared recently? To discuss this further Pat spoke to Borzou Daragahi, International Correspondent for The Independent.

In the fallout of Israel's election, Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain navigate the strangeness of this moment for many in the liberal Jewish camp who are experiencing it as a moment of mourning. In this episode they ask: How do Jews who oppose the values of the coming governing Israeli coalition make themselves heard right now? Can Israel learn from Americans' experience under Trump? Is it possible to build bridges with extremists, and is it possible to separate peoples' ideologies from the candidates they support?

The decades old Israel-Lebanon maritime border dispute is top of the running order again - with the planned start-up of Israel's drilling for gas in their offshore Karish field. But the hum of escalating rhetoric from Iranian-sponsored Shiite terror group Hezbollah threatens war. Their leader Hassan Nasrallah has repeatedly said it and some of Karish sits north of Lebanon's claimed line. Western Europe needs Mediterranean gas since Russia invaded Ukraine. Germany and the like need to extricate themselves from Putin's weaponisation of energy. Can Israel avoid war to become a regional energy power? And what about the Iranian protests at the same time as America attempts to renegotiate the JCPOA deal in Vienna? Edy Cohen's a native Arab speaker, born and raised in Beirut, now living in Israel. He has over half a million followers across the Arab world. He tweets Israeli and Jewish perspectives to the Muslim neighbourhood, delving deeper than almost anyone. Edy deals in absolutes, in realpolitik and it's the second time he's appeared on Jonny Goulds Jewish State. Israel's Foreign Ministry establishment doesn't like him because his outreach is both powerful and unrestrained by the filter of diplomatic niceties. That's why I like him, that's why you reacted so positively to him – and that's why he's back. Welcome Edy Cohen back to our podcast!

Of the two neighboring Arab countries upholding their peace accords with Israel, Jordan is always of more concern to strategic planners in Tel Aviv and their Cabinet in Jerusalem. Egypt's mainland is far away across the Sinai Desert, and its regime seems relatively safe. But the Hashemite Kingdom has to contend with a Palestinian majority, cells of Jihadi groups, a vocal opposition to the economic policies of King Abdullah II, and security problems in nearby southern Syria. Israel has excellent working relations between its military and intelligence agencies and their Jordanian ones, and it has done its share to alleviate the chronic water problem from which arid Jordan suffers, but there is constant fear west of the river that the Hashemite dynasty is just one bullet away from being toppled - leaving Israel vulnerable along its backbone. Can Israel bank on the East Bank to remain quiet?

Can Israel incorporate the socio-economic features of the Shmita (Sabbatical) & Yovel (Jubilee) years? Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Shaul Judelman of Roots to talk about ways to apply the values of the Shmita year to a modern Jewish nation-state.

Can Israel conduct a military strike to eliminate Iran's nuclear program? What will it take for the country's leadership to reach such a decision? And what are the chances that the ensuing conflict with Tehran will include the United States? Former Israeli deputy national security adviser, Chuck Freilich, joins the podcast to discuss his recent article on the subject, and explains why a military strike is doable but should remain Israel's absolute last resort.  Also on this week's episode, we discuss the recent escalation in Gaza: over the weekend, two rockets were launched from the coastal enclave toward Tel Aviv; Israel blamed Hamas for the incident and hit targets in Gaza, while Hamas claimed it was an accident caused by stormy weather. Dr. Shira Efron of the RAND Corporation and Israel Policy Forum joins host Amir Tibon to discuss the economic and humanitarian situation in Gaza, and its impacts on regional security.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israel-Arab peace has long eluded Israel and its neighbors. But it seems that times are changning. On this one year anniversary of the Abraham Accords, learn how Israel is establishing peace with its neighbors. The negotiations with the Palestinians are another matter. Divided between the radicals of Hamas and the corrupt oligarchy of the PA, an Israeli Palestinian agreement seems as unlikely as any time in history. But what are Israel's options? Can they ride out the status quo? Can Israel's increasing normalization with its neighbors be leveraged to increase security and improve the quality of life for Palestinians. Tune in to find out.

Can Israel trust America after the withdrawal from Afghanistan? Jeremy Jones (AIJAC)

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the UN has agreed to distribute Qatari funds to the people of Gaza, in order that the money isn't diverted to Hamas' terror arsenal. Can Israel rely on the UN, the same body which turns a blind eye to the Hezbollah arms build up in Lebanon, whose UNHRC condemns Israel each and every time it meets, and whose UNRWA supplies Arab students with textbooks full of anti-Israel hate? On this week's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh predicts that at the end of the day, the money will no doubt end up in Hamas's coffers.

Israel has a new government in place, and it's confusing! Is the new prime minister liberal or conservative? The answer….is yes! Find out all the details on today's program.  At the same time, the United States is attempting to install an anti-Israel Consulate General in Jerusalem. And they are attempting to re-negotiate a deal with Iran, who just elected a “butcher” for their president.  Can Israel stand up to all of this pressure, and do what is necessary to keep their nation safe?  Support us at https://www.patreon.com/joshuaandcaleb or https://joshuaandcaleb.com/donate/.    Subscribe to the network free at https://joshuaandcaleb.com/ Purchase the book, Facing Jerusalem at https://facingjerusalemthebook.com.​​ Use promo code JOSHUAANDCALEB for a listener-only discount.  Check us out on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/JoshuaAndCaleb.

Members of the large evangelical Christian population in the United States have very often been vocal supporters of the Jewish State. But is that true for the younger generation? Can Israel count upon the support of millennial evangelicals? In the face of rising antisemitism, this question is extremely important. Join Scott as he speaks with Pastor Doug Reed and Rabbi Pesach Wolicki about whether this problem does, indeed, exist, what can be done to counter it, the need for greater and more effective social media activism, the beauty of Shabbat, and more.

Israel is rolling out Covid vaccinations faster than any other nation. Why are people blaming the Jewish State for the much slower roll out for West Bank Palestinians?

HARDTalk is in Jerusalem, an ancient city which arguably stirs more passion, argument and hostility than any other. Israel claims all of it as its eternal, undivided capital - a claim at odds with international law and much world opinion, but boosted by President Trump's decision to move the US embassy there. Stephen Sackur talks to Jerusalem's two term mayor Nir Barkat. Can Israel conclusively win the struggle for Jerusalem? Image: Nir Barkat (Credit: Getty Images)
