Five years later, Victor Davis Hanson takes a hard look at real aftermath of Floyd's death on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ There was $2 billion in damage. There was a police precinct burned to the ground, in Minneapolis. There was a federal courthouse that was burned. There was a historic St. John's Church—across from the White House—that was torched. A mob tried to go into the White House grounds and reach the president.” “And the country now is learning it's lessons. It's trying to find a sober solution. A reaction. I think they're trying—we're trying to come to a conclusion. Why in the world did we go completely collectively insane?” (1:27) Background on George Floyd (2:49) The Aftermath and Riots (5:00) Systemic Racism and Anti-Racism Movement (5:55) Impact on Universities and Society (7:01) Current Reflections and Conclusions (8:55) Closing Remarks and Call to Action

Sorry, Harvard, but we're not going to give you billions of taxpayer dollars, no questions asked.    The Trump administration is set to eliminate its remaining government contracts with Harvard University, totally over $100 million, reports the New York Times. This comes off the heels of the administration's commitment to also prevent the once prestigious university from enrolling foreign student.    The federal government does not have an obligation to blindly give a private university billions of dollars of taxpayer money, just like immigration officials are not forced to automatically give visas to foreign nationals, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “I think the argument from the administration that maybe our right-wing friends are missing is not that the Trump administration doesn't have a right to go in and micromanage. They're just saying, ‘I don't really wanna give Harvard any money. They've got $53 billion. They're private. They're not public institutions. But you know, if they ask us and they want money, then we have to look at why we would give it to them.'    “And it's kind of like Mr. Smith coming from Korea or Mr. Jones coming from Sweden. We look at them and we don't really think they add to the Americans. So, we don't have an invitation.'”    

Virginia's November gubernatorial election is touted as a major barometer for how the electorate feels about the party in power in Washington, and national money for both parties is already pouring into the state. Two polls are showing two very different results in the race, yet the media is touting the one where the Democrat is far ahead. The Daily Signal asks founder of VirginiaFREE, Chris Saxman, how the race is really shaping up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson unpacks South Africa's racialist policies and its attempt to leverage U.S. generosity while showing open hostility. “ T his is not the South Africa that we used to know. But it was running on the fumes of Mandelaism. At the United Nations, it's hostile to the United States. It takes advantage of the free trade agreement to run up a $9 billion surplus….It shows no gratitude. It attacks us.” 00:00  The Ambush That Wasn't 00:11 The Real Reason Behind the Meeting 00:37 South Africa's Controversial Stance 03:21 Trump's Response to Ramaphosa 04:37 The Broader Implications 06:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Last week's killings of two Israeli embassy employees in the name of “Free Palestine” is just another sad example of how the Left has lowered the bar for the justification of political violence.    Endemic antisemitism continues to spread on college campus across America because the people responsible, DEI proponents and recipients, feel that they are untouchable, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “So, that is one thing that's happening. And that makes violence more permissible. The other is this endemic antisemitism. Let's be honest. It's not some cowboy in Wyoming in 1950 that doesn't like Jews. We're talking about two nexuses that come together and promulgate antisemitism. The one is wealthy people in the universities—many of them DEI, but not all—who feel that it's either en vogue or, as DEI people, they cannot be criticized as victims for victimizing others, meaning foreign students from the Middle East. And in that cauldron, it becomes permissible to say, “Globalize the intifada,” “River to the sea,” the eliminationist rhetoric about Israel, storm a library, chase Jews into a library, damage the president's office, rough up a Jewish kid on campus. It was all acceptable. There were no consequences. That's why those three college presidents either were fired or had to resign.” 

Donald Trump is the first U.S. President in over 30 years who is seriously talking about reducing the country's budget deficit, trade deficit and yes, the national debt, which has ballooned to over $37 trillion.    However, he must follow a specific formula, otherwise, it will end in tragedy, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”     “Jermone Powell, the head of the Fed, will not lower interest rates even though there's been a good jobs report, a good inflation report, a good corporate profits report. GDP is gonna be evaluated, apparently, upward and there's been low energy cost. That mortgage is still 4.25% Fed rate to 4.5%. And that means mortgages are still 6.5%, 7%. And that housing market is slowing as a result.   “So, you've got to get that down. And the way Trump has to do it is just two ways: Either cut the budget or raise taxes—which will strangle the economy—or continue the tax cuts. And hope two things: that the tax cuts—the extension—will prime the economy, along with cheap interest rates.   And the question that we all have now: Is cutting taxes on tips, is cutting taxes on Social Security, is cutting taxes on first responder, etc.—all of which Trump has mentioned—is that really stimulus as opposed to, say, accelerated depreciation investment for businesses? I don't know the answer. But I do know, as a historian, that if you do not cut the deficit and the national debt and you have bond raters like Moody's or the Fed that will not lower interest rates, you're going to be in a crisis.” 

CNN's Jake Tapper helped promulgate one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. Just because he decided to write a book four years later saying everything to the contrary doesn't change that. Nothing will, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “For the last four years, again and again and again, if anybody questioned the obvious mental decline of Joe Biden—his cognitive difficulties—Jake Tapper, and went on CNN, Jake Tapper tore them apart. “The locus classicus was Lara Trump, who said that he's obviously—as early as 2020—in decline. And he suggested that she was berating him for a childhood stutter, which was absolutely ridiculous. “Why didn't Jake Tapper write this a year ago? Because he knows what would've happened. Somebody in the White House would've called up and said, ‘Tapper, no one from CNN is gonna get a seat at a press conference. There's not gonna be any CNN interview.'  “So, he backed down. And now in a very cowardly fashion, now he comes out and he is blaming the White House cover-up. But what he doesn't tell us is the White House cover-up would have been impossible had not CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS all conspired with the White House staff to downplay—not just downplay Biden's cognitive decline but attack people.”

Symbolically, the closure speaks volumes. Victor Davis Hanson walks us through the troubling legacy left behind at the FBI HQ on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, was the head of the Special Counsel's Office. Remember that? And he had the dream team—the all-stars, a hunter/killer team—with the Left. He was almost giddy about that they were gonna get Donald Trump on Russian collusion.  “ That same office then gave us Christopher Wray. Why was he spying on parents at school board meetings? Why was he spying on what they called ‘radical-traditional Catholics'?

On today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson,” Hanson says that Trump is promoting security through economic cooperation and criticized the neoconservative legacy of endless wars. “ What Donald Trump is trying to say is: Let's just not get into politics. Let's not get into offending foreign leaders. … Not to lecture them, but to create economic matrices, nexuses, in which people find that it's in their vested interest to profit rather than to kill people. “ What he's emphasizing is that there is a common bond in the world. And that common bond is in the heart of everybody. They want peace and they want prosperity and they want security. That's not necessarily antithetical or exclusionary of freedom because, obviously, economic ability—the ability to make money and the ability to be secure—often has an element of what? Freedom.” 0:00 Trump's Middle East Tour 1:00 Criticism of Prior Administrations 1:54 Trump's Foreign Policy Approach 3:40 Specific Global Conflicts and Solutions 5:27 Criticism and Comparison with Biden's Policies 7:46 Conclusion

There are more mysteries than answers surrounding the Biden team. Why did Joe Biden's medical team announce right now—on the eve of the release of “Original Sin”—this shocking story that the president, who just left office 100 days ago, was suffering from a very seriously rare, malignant form of prostate cancer, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “President—he was vice president, he was president, now he's an ex-president. They are accorded the best, most comprehensive diagnostic medical care in the world. Isn't it true that Joe Biden would've known about this? We just had a report—right before he stepped down, in the summer of 2024—an exhaustive medical report, that he was fine. But he is trying to tell us, or sadly, his team is trying to tell us that, just in a matter of nine months, he developed a prostate cancer unknown to all of his doctors. Unknown—that didn't appear on any of his diagnostic tests.”

One of the most important reasons President Donald Trump won in 2024 was his very convincing case that the Biden family was corrupt.    The president should act swiftly and make certain to an already hostile media that Qatar's gift, the ‘palace in the sky', is in keeping with ethical standards, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “It would be very wise—because Trump is at a critial point in his administration where he cannot bleed anything—to have an informal ethics adviser, in my opinion. And just to reassure this predatory media—not that you have to cater them or not that you have to listen to them—but just someone in the administration, an ethics czar, that advises all of the Trump family and associates to make a firewall between them and presidential assistance.”

Gaza will never become an independent nation, Israel Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter says.   “There's not going to be an independent sovereign state other than Israel west of the Jordan River,” Leiter told The Daily Signal.   “There could be all sorts of autonomous arrangements,” he said, “but there's not going to be an independent sovereign Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. It's just not going to be.”   The nation of Israel extends from the Joran River west to the Mediterranean Sea to form the narrow country that is roughly the size of New Jersey. Since Hamas launched its attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, pro-Palestine protesters in America and round the world have chanted, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” referring to Palestine fully occupying the land between the Joran River and the Mediteranea Sea, in turn eliminating the nation of Israel.   Following Oct. 7, there is a “complete absence of bandwidth” in Israel for the creation of a Palestinian state next to Israel. There is, however, a great deal of interest in Israel to expand partnerships with nations in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, according to Leiter.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Why did the DNC, White House staffers and even seasoned journalists lie to the American people when they decided to run cover for Joe Biden?   It's not enough just to say, “Politics. We want power.” What was the strategy to make you do something so egregious, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “The same existential is why do all these reporters say now, ‘We were in on the deal, we covered up for Biden'? ‘The Biden staff did it.' ‘No, the media did it.' But they all agreed that he was non compos mentis. He was cognitively challenged when he was nominated, when they cleared the nomination field out. They got rid of Buttigeig. They got rid of Elizabeth Warren. They got rid of Sanders. They all disappeared quickly.   “And then they used this waxen effigy as a veneer. But why? That was very risky to do that. They all tell us they did it but they don't tell us why… They saw this as a wonderful opportunity. Use Joe Biden and just have him come in three days a week, stumble through stuff, and then push through the most left-wing, nihilistic, destructive, socialist agenda in history.” 

Iran Thinks They Can Outlast Trump. Can They?    President Donald Trump embarked on his first major foreign trip to the Middle East this week, making stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.    The goal? Replacing “strife” with “money,” bring Iran into the fold, and drop hostilities towards Israel. An ambitious agenda, maybe too ambitious, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “And the subtext of all of these meetings were: We're going to replace strife with money. We're all gonna be profitable. And we have to bring the cause of all of this trouble, Iran, into the fold of the Middle East and drop the hostility to Israel. Notice, of course, that he didn't go to Israel, although he was trying to elicit support for the continuation of the Abraham Accords with Saudi Arabia and Qatar.   “This is very ambitious but it's also very dangerous. Donald Trump thinks he can cut a deal with Iran so that they would do essentially three things: They would give up their nuclear program; they would stop the subsidies to the terrorist surrogates of the Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis; and they would liberalize their society and reenter the family of nations.   I don't think that Shia theocracy feels that is their agenda.”   

There is an opportunity for the Middle East to be defined “by commerce, not chaos,” President Donald Trump said speaking at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.    The president is using the universal language of economic prosperity as he visits Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates this week - reminding the Middle East it can “exports technology, not terrorism.”    Trump has finalized multiple deals since the trip began, including “an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” according to the White House. Trump also announced a $600-billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S., mainly in areas of energy and technology.    In addition to his economic strategy, Trump continues to remind the Middle East why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and to call for a deal between the U.S. and Iran that not only prevents the further development of Iran's nuclear program, but also stops Iran from funding terrorism.    Speaking in Qatar on Wednesday, Trump said Iran “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.” On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we breakdown what you need to know about Trump's historic visit to the Middle East, and discuss if there is any hope for change in Iran.    Also on today's show, the far left has a fashion issue - they don't want to accidentally be mistaken as MAGA by what they wear. What to do? Dress messy instead, according to The New York Times.  The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: https://secured.dailysignal.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It's time to sett the record straight on “The Media.” More than 100 days since starting his second term, and the corporate media has nothing good to say about President Donald Trump, and his administration.  Elon Musk received negative coverage 96% of the time on evening news, according to an April study conducted by the Media Research Center.  Why did the media go from loving Sen. John Fetterman to questioning his mental competency? Bottom line: What the corporate media, most namely ABC, NBC and CBS, labels “the truth” is wholey dependent on whether it benefits the political Left, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Elon Musk, according to the Media Research Center, has had 96% unfavorable coverage in our American media. What did he do that was so wrong? He rescued astronauts who were stranded in space. Tesla has revolutionized the electric vehicle industry. Social media is open and free, due to his acquisition of X. Starlink has more satellites—that private entity that he created—it has more satellites than the governments of the United States, all of the EU countries, and China combined. It is the world's methodology of accessing high-speed internet from remote places or anywhere. So, what has he done wrong?

In this eye-opening episode of The Daily Signal podcast, Rob Bluey interviews Chris Iacovella, CEO of the American Securities Association. Iacovella recently testified before Congress about a disturbing financial reality many Americans are unaware of. Iacovella explains how Wall Street exploits multiple loopholes that allow companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to access American capital markets, despite laws prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies. Key points discussed: How American investments are unknowingly funding CCP activities, including the internment of Uyghurs, PLA weapons systems, cyber attacks against the U.S., and what the State Department has classified as genocide The "Variable Interest Entity" loophole: Americans who think they're buying shares in Chinese companies like Alibaba are actually only purchasing rights to a contract with a Cayman Islands company that contracts with the mainland Chinese company The "Passive Index" loophole: Asset managers include mainland Chinese companies in index funds sold to U.S. investors, allowing these companies to access American capital without complying with U.S. laws and regulations Bipartisan legislation from Rep. Andy Barr and Sen. John Cornyn aimed at identifying Chinese companies with ties to the military or specific technology infrastructure Why China's economic competition is fundamentally unfair: "When you have slave labor, no environmental laws, no OSHA laws, and no labor laws, of course it's going to be cheaper" Iacovella also explains the mission of the American Securities Association as a non-Wall Street trade association representing approximately 100 member firms across the country. Its mission is to "promote investor trust and confidence and to facilitate the flow of capital to small businesses across America."

Canadian nationalism might have won the battle, but Trump will win the war.    Earlier this week, newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a liberal, voted the White House.     Mark Carney ran a campaign emphasizing Canadian nationalism, which successfully won him the election.    However, nothing will negate the undue stresses Canada's NATO spending shortfalls and trade surplus have on its relationship with the U.S. Now, President Trump is taking him to task, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”  

Last week, Germany's domestic intelligence agency classified the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), which came in second in the recent federal elections, as a far-right “extremist organization.” Today, the agency lowered AfD's designation, still allowing surveillance, but under “stricter judicial oversight”, according to Politico.    In less than a decade, Germany went from being the “Powerhouse of Europe” to embracing an all-out strategy of “national suicide.” How and more importantly, why did this happen, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words?”   “Twenty years ago German physicists were the top in the world—nuclear physicists. They would start investing again in nuclear power. They would start up natural gas generation. Wind and solar would be integral, but a small part, because they would need reliable, cheap energy to compete on the world market. They would join the United States and look at China and say, "This is intolerable, this system of mercantilism." They would close their borders. They would go to an assimilationist model and require immigrants that came legally to fully become Germans. They would do all of that. But instead, when one party is advocating much of what I just talked about, they demonize it because it's out of the norm. And the norm, unfortunately, in Germany today is national suicide.”

In 2022, first time mothers averaged an age of 27, up from 21 in 1970, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With more women waiting to get pregnant, there is an increased need for resources and tools on staying fertile and overcoming fertility challenges in women's 30s and 40s. Grace Emily Stark, editor-in-chief of Natural Womanhood and a fertility instructor, says there are three things all women can start doing today to increase their chances of getting pregnant in the future. First, and arguably most important, according to Stark, is tracking your cycle, and not just on a mobile app. Because the health of a woman's menstrual cycle is directly tied to her overall physical health, Stark argues women can't afford to be ignorant about their cycle and what is, and is not, normal. Next, what we eat and drink can play a direct role in the body's ability to maintain a healthy cycle and in turn get pregnant. There is no reason any women should be drinking soda or using tobacco products, according to Stark. A low sugar and low carb diet with lots of healthy fats, protein, and fiber is the best way to ensure your body is prepared for pregnancy. Finally, Stark recommends consistent low intensity exercise for maintaining a healthy cycle and getting pregnant. High intensity exercise, like CrossFit, can place excessive stress on a woman's body, which in turn affects her hormones and her cycle, Stark explains. Today, the moment a woman can't conceive, much of modern medicine advocates for IVF, but as Stark explains on “Problematic Women,” it is important to first understand why your body is struggling to conceive, and to know the wide range of natural tools and resources available to increase fertility.

Mainstream media would have you believe that Trump's first 100 days were a failure—despite securing the border and strong economic gains. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the polling regarding Donald Trump's early 2025 presidency on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” and asks the question: Were pollsters reflecting public opinion, or manipulating it? “There were analyses after each of the 2016, the 2020, and the 2024 elections about the accuracy of polls, post facto, of the election. And we learned that they were way off in 2016. They said they had learned their lessons.  “They were way off in 2020. They said they learned their lesson. And they were way off in 2024. And why are they way off? Because liberal pollsters—and that's the majority of people who do these surveys—believe that if they create artificial leads for their Democratic candidates, it creates greater fundraising and momentum.   “ If you look at the polls that were the most accurate—Mark Penn was very accurate. He's a Democratic pollster. But especially, the Rasmussen poll and the Insider Advantage and the Trafalgar poll. … They have Trump ahead by anywhere from two to three points after 100 days.”

After 100 days in office, how popular is President Donald Trump?   “47% of likely U.S. voters either strongly or somewhat approve of President Trump,” according to a poll conducted by Rassmussen Reports last month.    The biggest surprise? Over a majority of Hispanic voters, 58%, approve of President Trump, which is greater than his support amongst white (47%) and black (41%) voters.   Democrats told us that closing the border, and deporting illegal aliens, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deeply unpopular within the Hispanic community and would sink Trump's favorability.    But, it actually has the opposite effect, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

President Donald Trump is right to believe that Iran is in a historically vulnerable position right now.    The Assad regime is kaput. Hezbollah's effectiveness has been dramatically reduced since Oct. 7. Hama is living underground among the rubble of Gaza.    However, even with a maximum pressure campaign, oil embargoes, domestic instability, two things will never change:    You can't trust a word that comes out of the Iranian regime's mouth, and their legitimacy hinges on acquiring nuclear weapons, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “The pressure is all on Iran. Militarily. Diplomatically. Economically. Socially. Culturally. What do I mean by that? Culturally, there is about 30% to 40% of the country are non-Farsi Persian speakers. And they're very restive, angry. Power outages. The regime is unpopular. It's diverted billions of dollars to these terrorist appendages that now didn't pay off, that they're defunct.    “And so, Donald Trump thinks that he, with this maximum pressure, putting this crushing oil embargo—which by the way, Joe Biden lifted—that he can bring them to negotiations one last time.   “Personally, I don't think he can. Nothing that that regime has ever said is accurate. Nobody in the MAGA movement wants an optional war in the Middle East. But they will have nuclear weapons, perhaps in a year. So, what is the likely scenario?”

Why did Joe Biden let 10-12 million illegal aliens into the U.S.?   The Good News:   We've gone from over 120,000 people a month coming across the border illegally in April 2024 to fewer than 10,000 in April 2025.    The Bad News:   The Left operates under a simple principle: “It is lawful to be unlawful if you're Joe Biden—according to the courts—but it is unlawful to be lawful if you're Donald Trump. And the result is that we've got these 10 to 12 million people. Are we going to have an immigration hearing for each one of them? Or are we just going to pick people?”      

Whether you like President Donald Trump or not, he is embracing policies that BOTH Democrats and Republicans saw as the solution in the past.    Only difference is, today, Democrats are terrified that President Trump's policies not only the viable solution, but that they're actually going work, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “What's happening is we're watching the most dramatic counterrevolution in our history.   “This is more fundamentally changing than even the Reagan revolution that rebooted the American economy and won the Cold War. And it's even more—I don't know—more fundamentally transformative than the Roosevelt first 100 days when he took the country hard left with the New Deal.   “I really think [Democrats] have no alternative to addressing the debt, the budget deficit, the trade deficit. And there's only one pathway. And whether you like Donald Trump or not, or you think he's crude, he is embracing policies that in bygone days both Democrats and Republicans saw was the solution. And the Democrats are terrified that it is not only the viable solution…”

Pollsters, the media, and the institutionalized Left. What do they all have in common?  President Trump's first 100 days weren't as chaotic as they advertised. Now, they fear that the American people will see right through their deception, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “They polled over 2,000 people, but only 840 were identified as Trump voters. Shouldn't that have been half? So, what am I getting at? We're getting right back to what happened in 2016 when the polls were completely wrong. The same thing happened in 2020 when they overestimated Biden's strength by four or five points. And then, even in 2024, the NPR poll had—on the last day of the election—they had Kamala Harris winning by four points.”

The Democrat Party is undergoing a dramatic transformation before our eyes. With the 2024 election losses still fresh, the old leadership—Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Durbin—is facing a powerful insurgency from a radical new Left. From AOC and the Squad to activist figures like David Hogg, a new generation is rising—and the establishment is terrified. Victor Davis Hanson explores what this youth-driven movement means for the future of American politics on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   “ We're watching a metamorphosis of the Democratic Party that is out of power. The old guard: Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin—that old guard did not deliver the 2024 election.  “ The Republicans are not afraid. They're not afraid of the squad and the Jacobins and this new cohort, the David Hoggs of the world. But you know who's terrified of them? Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, because they don't know how to handle them.”

“I think in interim period Israel will apply a military occupation of it and rule Gaza to make sure that Hamas is indeed defeated, that there is no pockets of resistance and terrorism and guerrilla, etc.,” Conricus, the former International spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, told The Daily Signal at the Jewish News Syndicate International Policy Summit in Jerusalem. Once Hamas and its sympathizers are completely defeated in Gaza, “Israel will move out and then it will transition,” Conricus, who is also a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said. “It has to transition to local self-governance by Palestinians, not by Hamas, and not by corrupt Palestinian authority officials, but by local, vetted, non-terror-aligned Palestinians that have local standing in Gaza and that show that their trajectory, what they value, is the present and the future and that they want to build a different Gaza.” This plan will require patience, according to the former IDF spokesman, adding, “I don't think that we have any other options.” Conricus estimates it will take about five years to see positive change in Gaza, providing a “good plan” is in place with proper funding. “To think that this is a quick fix that can be done quickly would be naïve and misleading. That is not the situation,” he said. “There is a very bad situation that has been going on for many years and as such it will take many years to undo.” Learn more about your ad choices.
