Transcript [00:00] So, everyone's been talking about what's [00:01] going to happen next in the Gaza Strip [00:03] and uh, of course, the Americans, Jared [00:05] Kushner, Steve Whit, all of them, [00:07] they're putting forward these grandiose [00:09] plans with pictures of high-rise [00:10] buildings and hotels and all this [00:12] industry being built there. And um, and [00:16] meanwhile, Hamas is saying they're not [00:17] going to lay down their weapons. And [00:18] there's a whole question now they're [00:20] opening the border to Egypt. And there's [00:23] a lot of people in Israel justifiably [00:25] worried. What's what does that mean for [00:26] Israel's security? [00:29] And while while around the world, [00:31] everyone's kind of talking about, oh, [00:33] the war is over and everything's fine [00:35] now. We're now in the after the war [00:37] stage, but we're a little worried what's [00:39] going to happen with Hamas. Meanwhile, a [00:41] bombshell report on Israeli cable TV [00:45] news from the other day about the [00:48] current IDF plans that have been placed [00:51] in front of Prime Minister Netanyahu and [00:53] in front of the defense minister. Watch [00:55] this clip. This is Hal Beton Rosen. He [00:59] is a defense correspondent for Channel [01:02] 14 cable news in Israel. So, let's have [01:06] a look at at this and then we'll talk [01:08] about the report because this is huge. [01:30] Trump [01:32] deadline. [01:46] foreign. [02:38] All right, let's talk about what we just [02:40] heard from Hal Beton Rosen. And you [02:43] know, one of the things I'm trying to do [02:44] here uh with this uh with this channel, [02:47] and I'd like your comments uh you know, [02:49] please drop a comment about what you [02:50] think of this is to bring you what is [02:54] being said in Hebrew in Israel to the [02:57] Israeli public from Israeli media [02:58] because a lot of these stories, a lot of [03:01] a lot of what you know, the details that [03:03] we're hearing here don't make it out to [03:05] Western media. And the same goes really [03:07] for some of the Arab language media. I [03:09] don't speak Arabic but you know it's [03:10] very important to pay attention to [03:12] what's really what's being said. So let [03:14] me know if you find that type of content [03:16] helpful because uh I think it's very [03:18] interesting very important to understand [03:19] what's really happening. Okay. So what [03:21] does Halbon Rosen say here? Says that [03:26] according to Israel here's what's going [03:28] to happen next. Kamas there are three [03:31] options. Option number one is that the [03:33] the Trump 20point plan, the deal that [03:35] we're in, actually goes forward. And [03:38] that means that Hamas actually lays down [03:40] its weapons. Of course, this is highly [03:43] unlikely, but that's what the deal calls [03:45] for. That's what President Trump [03:46] continues to insist that Hamas agreed to [03:48] this, even though Hamas says they they [03:50] haven't agreed to it. That's a separate [03:51] issue. I'm going to make a separate [03:53] video about that. But option number one [03:55] is that the deal goes forward and Kamas [03:58] is disarmed. Uh and the expectation [04:00] there is that President Trump is now or [04:03] in the very in the very uh near term [04:04] going to give an ultimatum a dead a time [04:08] deadline to Hamas. They're expecting it [04:10] about to be about two months or maybe [04:12] 100 days and Hamas at the end of that if [04:15] they haven't laid down their weapons we [04:17] we then move to option two. Option two [04:21] is either of one of two things. Option [04:24] two is I'm sorry. Option two is um is a [04:29] limited military operation to go back [04:32] into fighting kamas and bring them to [04:34] the point of surrender okay of defeat [04:38] okay and then you know defeating kamas [04:40] that way which basically means a [04:42] resumption of the war let's understand [04:43] before this whole ceasefire before the [04:44] Trump 20point plan was announced uh back [04:47] a few months ago back in September uh [04:50] before that happened Israel was uh was [04:52] moving in they were in Gaza city if you [04:54] remember and and moving towards a defeat [04:57] of Hamas and then stopped. So the option [05:01] two is basically resuming that. Option [05:03] three is even more. Option three is [05:05] actually going in and conquering the [05:07] entire Gaza Strip, completely destroying [05:10] and removing Hamas. Not bringing them to [05:12] their knees, but destroying them and [05:14] taking over the Gaza Strip completely. [05:16] Then within option three, there are then [05:18] two possibilities of what happens next. [05:21] Uh, one option is that Israel imposes [05:23] military governance on the entire Gaza [05:25] Strip. Option number two is that after [05:28] conquering the Gaza Strip, Israel hands [05:30] it over to an international force that [05:33] it approves of. But either way you slice [05:35] it, here's the key takeaway. [05:38] All this talk about, oh, the war is over [05:39] and we're moving to the peace stage and [05:41] now we're going to reconstruct Gaza. All [05:43] of that talk is very nice, but in the [05:47] end of the day, Israel's primary [05:49] objective since October 7th is the [05:51] complete destruction and dismantling of [05:53] Hamas. That is the prime military [05:55] objective of the war. There was also a [05:57] second objective which was to get all [05:59] the hostages back. That's that's been [06:01] completed. But that does not change the [06:03] fact that it is an absolute necessity [06:05] and has bipartisan support, bipartisan [06:08] acrosstheboard support in Israel, left [06:10] to right, that it is an absolute [06:11] necessity to destroy Hamas, to wipe them [06:14] out. And what's more, if the Israeli [06:17] government would stop short of that, [06:18] that would be the end of their political [06:20] careers because it is such a a consensus [06:22] issue in Israel that we must go in and [06:24] completely destroy Hamas. So even though [06:26] there's all this talk about moving to [06:28] the next phase and the war is over, [06:30] understand that from Israel's [06:31] perspective, from operational plans that [06:34] are being approved and put in front of [06:35] the prime minister and the defense [06:36] minister, the plan is to resume [06:39] hostilities to go back in and destroy [06:43] Hamas. So that's huge. Now I want to [06:45] share with you a second clip. Uh and [06:47] this is Lieutenant Colonel Amit Yagur. [06:50] He was a senior senior officer in [06:54] maritime intelligence and part of the [06:56] inner circle leadership uh of uh of of [07:00] the idea of the Israel security [07:02] apparatus. He's now retired and he is [07:04] one of the most astute minds in my [07:07] opinion when it comes to uh Israeli [07:09] defense and security and geopolitics [07:11] and he he gave a very interesting [07:14] interview. This is a couple minutes [07:15] longer than the than the previous clip. [07:18] Very much worth watching. Let's take a [07:19] look at Amitur and then we'll come back [07:22] and we will talk about what we just saw. [07:48] Middle East. [08:12] I'm sure [08:46] Washington Post [08:52] Sunrise. [09:02] Foreign [09:12] speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. [09:26] ischech. [10:31] Troopchech. [11:14] Can [11:38] I feel [12:01] Trump [12:08] Washington. [12:35] Okay. [13:02] Okay, let let's unpack now what we just [13:05] heard there. Okay, this is uh this is [13:06] really significant. So what he's saying, [13:10] you know, near the beginning of the [13:11] interview, you know, he was talking [13:12] about what's going to happen next and [13:15] you know, and and the Trump plan and she [13:16] and she interjected and said, "Whatever [13:19] happened to the plan that Trump talked [13:22] about a year ago when when he and BB [13:24] first met at the beginning of this whole [13:25] thing where he talked about removing the [13:29] the Gazin population because that's [13:31] really what Israelis would love to see. [13:34] that was uh you know if the if the [13:36] gazins move to other countries they'll [13:37] have a better life we'll have peace here [13:39] that's the real solution to all of this [13:41] and and she's saying we're not hearing [13:43] about that and he basically said wait a [13:45] second pay attention to the big picture [13:49] of course that's not mentioned in the [13:50] plan but look at how this plan plays out [13:54] in order to rebuild Gaza he pointed out [13:57] that a few months ago when the when this [14:00] Trump plan for Gaza was first announced [14:02] and it was first put in the Washington [14:03] Post [14:04] it mentioned there and this was [14:06] mentioned by Jared Kushner in his WEF uh [14:10] presentation in Davos the other day. [14:12] Gaza is uninhabitable right now. Most of [14:14] the urban areas in Gaza, they're [14:16] destroyed. That vast tunnel network [14:18] that's that was a terrorist network that [14:20] snaked under hundreds and hundreds of [14:22] miles of tunnels snaking under all the [14:24] urban areas in the Gaza Strip had to be [14:26] dismantled and destroyed. Almost all the [14:28] buildings in Gaza were used for military [14:31] purposes and ended up getting destroyed [14:33] in in this war. There are unexloded [14:36] ordinances and pieces of of of [14:39] military equipment and destroyed [14:41] buildings. It's a dangerous place and it [14:43] is objectively uninhabitable. So, when [14:46] you look at these plans to rebuild it [14:48] and clean it up and and and build [14:50] high-rise buildings and resorts and [14:51] whatever other fantasies they have, in [14:53] order to do any of it, the basic [14:55] prerequisite is to clear it and and [15:00] rebuild it. In order to do that, you [15:02] have to move the population. They can't [15:03] stay there. So, the Americans and the [15:06] Board of Peace and all these [15:07] technocrats, what they're currently [15:09] doing is building a large temporary [15:12] city, temporary city in Rafa. Now, [15:16] here's the big piece. That's on the [15:18] Israeli side of the yellow line. And [15:20] they're going to be evacuating the [15:22] people. That's the plan to New Rafa to [15:25] live in this temporary area that is [15:27] going to be civily governed by this [15:29] board of peace technocrats. And it'll [15:31] have some civil services and education [15:33] and medical services, whatever. Okay. [15:35] But it's going to be under Israeli [15:36] control. [15:38] And also, the Rafa crossing will be [15:40] open. And you'll also have a lot of [15:42] Gazins who will who will be leaving [15:45] Okay. And that's in the TW in the Trump [15:47] 20point plan. It says any anyone who [15:49] wants to leave will be able to leave, [15:51] but no one's going to be forced to [15:52] leave. Great. So, you'll have a lot of [15:53] people you'll have a bunch of gazins [15:55] leaving. You'll have a lot of them [15:56] moving into this tent camp. But all of [15:59] those people who move out of the urban [16:01] areas over to the Israeli side in order [16:04] to facilitate the reconstruction and [16:05] rebuilding will be leaving Kamas [16:09] controlled areas. And kamas's number one [16:12] source of power is control over the [16:15] population. If the population leaves, [16:17] there's they're they've got nothing [16:19] left. So in any event, the transfer of [16:23] the population itself is going to is [16:27] going to lead to this again to a lot of [16:29] migration, but also to the de facto [16:33] dismantling of whatever is left of [16:35] kamas. It's a fascinating point. [16:39] and and therefore people in Israel, [16:42] nationalists in Israel, people on the [16:43] right who are worried about Hamas still [16:45] being in control, who view this this [16:48] reconstruction project as a threat. What [16:51] Amit Gur is pointing out is it's not a [16:53] threat. It actually facilitates some of [16:56] the things that are most important to [16:57] Israel's security, which is the removal [16:59] of the of the Gazin population from [17:01] kamas control and potentially also a [17:03] large number of them immigrating [17:06] elsewhere. That is an amazing amazing [17:08] point. Now, at the end of the video, the [17:10] last couple minutes, this is [17:12] fascinating. We'll end with this point [17:14] [cough] where he points out that this [17:17] whole issue in the Gaza Strip where you [17:18] see like, you know, the Saudis backed [17:20] off of normalization with Israel and [17:22] they're insisting on on a on a [17:24] Palestinian state. And you had the whole [17:27] uproar when Trump announced that it [17:29] would be the best thing for the [17:30] Palestinians to move them elsewhere. And [17:32] the whole Arab world was like, "No, no, [17:33] no, no, no." He's saying there's a [17:35] larger struggle going on in the Middle [17:37] East right now between the what he's [17:39] calling the old Middle East and a [17:41] potential new Middle East. And the new [17:43] Middle East is like the UAE alliance [17:45] with Israel and and uh and you know the [17:48] Abraham Accords and moving past all [17:51] these you know all this old Islamism and [17:53] the old conflict and trying to destroy [17:55] the state of Israel and all of that. And [17:57] that's where the fall of Iran is so [17:59] critical also. So if Iran the Iranian [18:01] Muslim regime falls and it becomes a [18:04] secular pro-western state, the new [18:07] Middle East is winning. And this and [18:09] there's a lot of actors like the Turks [18:11] and the Saudis and the Qataris who have [18:13] an interest in maintaining the old [18:15] Middle East. And critical to maintaining [18:16] the old Middle East is keeping the [18:19] Gazins there, keeping the Palestinian [18:21] issue as an open sore, as a thorn in the [18:24] side of Israel um into the future. And [18:28] by the way, I'll add in that Lebanon [18:30] also fits into this struggle where you [18:31] have the Lebanese government which is [18:33] ostensibly secular and supposed to be [18:35] disarming. [18:37] But you know and and they're you know [18:40] and that the question of which way [18:41] Lebanon goes. Are they going to be part [18:43] of the new Middle East or are they part [18:45] of the faction that's clinging to the [18:47] old Middle East? So a lot of really [18:48] interesting stuff in there. Um and it [18:51] gives us a sense of some of what to look [18:53] for in the coming days and weeks ahead. [18:56] So again, please like and subscribe and [18:58] do all that great stuff if you're [18:59] enjoying these videos and make sure to [19:01] check out the content on Israel 365 uh [19:04] YouTube channel. But also, please drop [19:06] me a comment and let me know if these [19:08] like clips from Israeli media is [19:10] something that you'd be interested in me [19:11] continuing to do because I I I think [19:13] it's really important stuff. All right. [19:15] God bless.
