Transcript [00:04] Hey everyone. In this video, we're going [00:06] to deal with the question, what is going [00:08] on with Kamas and the Iran war? How is [00:11] it affecting them? Now, obviously, [00:13] they're in a tight spot because they're [00:16] we think of them as an Iranian proxy. [00:18] They were part of the axis of [00:20] resistance, which is the Iran proxy [00:22] network, [00:24] Iraq, Houthis, Hamas. On the other hand, [00:28] they're als one of their main funders [00:29] has always been Qatar and the Kamas [00:32] leadership is housed in Qatar. The [00:34] Qataris and the Iranians both the main [00:37] patrons and funders of Kamas throughout [00:40] all the negotiations, the hostage [00:42] ceasefire negotiations over the last few [00:44] years. It was always Qatar who was [00:46] representing Kamas in those [00:47] negotiations. So you could imagine that [00:49] with the Iranian regime shelling Qatar, [00:53] uh Kamas is in a tight spot. besides the [00:55] fact that like which way this thing goes [00:57] and and whether or not the regime falls [00:59] obviously has a lot of implications for [01:02] them and most people have forgotten [01:04] about them amidst everything else going [01:05] on. And we're going to get into all of [01:07] that in this video. But uh just before [01:10] we get to that, I just want to remind [01:12] you again about the Israel under fire [01:14] campaign at israel365charity.com. [01:17] Israel365.com.

[01:55] Okay, let's get right to this this whole [01:57] story. So the first story here this is [02:00] from a few days ago. Hamas urges Iran to [02:03] stop targeting neighboring countries. [02:04] Okay, this was Hamas on Saturday called [02:07] on Iran to refrain from targeting [02:09] neighboring countries while affirming [02:10] Thran's right to defend itself against [02:14] Israel and United States. You see, [02:15] they're already threading the needle. [02:16] Iran has a right to defend itself, but [02:18] stop attacking neighboring Arab [02:20] countries. quote, "While affirming the [02:22] right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to [02:24] respond to this aggression by all [02:26] available means in accordance with the [02:28] with international norms and laws, the [02:30] movement calls on the brothers in Iran [02:32] to avoid targeting neighboring [02:34] countries." In other words, they're [02:35] telling Iran how to fight the war. [02:37] Listen, we're we're on your side, but [02:39] but just stick to attacking the [02:41] Israelis. You know, that's what Kamas is [02:44] the position they're trying to stake [02:45] out. Kamas, that's the text of the kamas [02:48] statement. And then it goes into how [02:50] they fought this war with um uh [02:55] Hamas, which fought a devastating [02:56] two-year war with Israel and Gaza, also [02:58] called for the international community [03:00] to work towards halting the war. The [03:01] group previously, here's the key, the [03:04] group previously condemned the killing [03:06] of Iran's Supreme Leader Alami on the [03:09] first day of the war as a heinous crime, [03:11] openly acknowledging his long-standing [03:13] support for the Palestinian movement. [03:15] and and they and they made a in that [03:17] statement they said that Kamay provided [03:19] all forms of political diplomatic and [03:21] military support to our people, our [03:23] cause and our resistance. That's what [03:25] they said about that. And you know, so [03:29] so to give a little bit more of the [03:31] background of what it is we're really [03:33] dealing with here, meaning the so the [03:36] statement that we see here from kamas is [03:39] really the asking Iran to stop attacking [03:43] neighboring countries, but at the same [03:46] time affirming Iran's right to defend [03:47] itself and that previously they had put [03:50] out supportive statements from Iran [03:53] speaks to the pressures that they're [03:56] under, right now. And I found a great [03:58] piece of analysis, [04:00] an explainer really. It even says [04:02] explainer in a publication I never I [04:04] usually never go near, the Palestine [04:06] Chronicle, extremely anti-Israel, as you [04:08] can imagine. But this is actually a [04:10] phenomenal piece. I mean, it's really it [04:12] it really lays out very clearly the [04:15] tight spot that that Hamas is in. So, I [04:17] just want to go through it. [04:20] On March 13th, it says, "Why did Hamas [04:22] suddenly urge Iran not to target [04:23] neighboring countries?" On March 13th, [04:26] International Coupuds Day, Hamas [04:28] delivered one of its strongest messages [04:30] of solidarity with Iran since the [04:31] outbreak of the USIsraeli war against [04:34] the Islamic Republic. Okay, that was the [04:36] day before they asked them to stop [04:38] striking other other nations. Statements [04:40] from the movement and from Abu Oda, the [04:43] spokesperson of the Adin al- Kassam [04:45] brigades, that's the military wing of [04:47] Hamas. They praised Iran's missile [04:49] strikes against Israel and framed them [04:52] as part of the broader general [04:54] confrontation tied directly to [04:56] Palestine. Okay. They said that the that [04:59] the air strikes by Iran brought joy to [05:01] the hearts of our oppressed people while [05:04] emphasizing that the regional war cannot [05:06] be separated from the struggle over [05:07] Jerusalem and al Axad. So they're trying [05:10] to put themselves back into the center. [05:11] Jerusalem, Al Axa. Let's remember they [05:14] named their attacks on October 7th. The [05:16] October 7th attacks have a name. Hamas [05:20] named them. Meaning on the Israeli side, [05:22] the war is called Swords of Iron. This [05:24] war the the war against Hamas. Kamas [05:28] called it the the um Al Axa flood. Al [05:31] Axa is the is the Temple Mount [05:33] Jerusalem. They named the October 7th [05:35] attacks after um after the Temple Mount [05:40] Jerusalem. So that's what it's all about [05:41] for them. But only so on on April on May [05:45] I'm sorry on March 13th. Okay. So on [05:48] that was a few days ago on March on [05:51] sorry why do I keep saying yeah March [05:52] 13th they praised Iran for firing [05:57] missiles at Israel and and uh basically [06:00] put out a supportive statement a [06:02] supportive statement for the regime. But [06:04] only a day later on March 14th, Hamas [06:06] issued a new statement that appeared to [06:08] introduce a significant caveat. While [06:11] renewing its condemnation of the [06:13] US-Israeli aggression against Iran and [06:15] reaffirming Tehran's right to respond, [06:17] Kamas also called on the brothers in [06:20] Iran not to target neighboring [06:22] countries. At first glance, the message [06:24] might appear contradictory. How can a [06:26] movement that openly praises Iran's [06:28] military [06:30] military actions simultaneously urge [06:32] them to refrain from striking US [06:34] military bases in regional states? Now, [06:37] they're not only striking US military [06:38] bases, they're also striking civilian [06:40] targets, but the Palestine Chronicle [06:42] doesn't want to say that. The answer [06:44] lies not only in not in ideological [06:46] inconsistency, but in political [06:48] geography. Hamas today operates across [06:51] multiple arenas inside Gaza, across the [06:54] the Palestinian territories and within a [06:56] wide diaspora leadership. So here here's [07:01] let's just jump down and they talk about [07:03] how they're trying to strike this [07:04] delegate this delicate balance. [07:08] Okay. Um the movement has long [07:09] maintained an internal leadership [07:11] structure rooted in Gaza and a political [07:14] leadership operating in exile across [07:17] several countries including Qatar and [07:19] Turkey. These external political [07:21] platforms are crucial for Kamas's [07:23] diplomacy, media engagement and [07:25] international outreach. So you see you [07:26] have you have the the foreign leadership [07:28] of kamas based in Qatar and Turkey uh [07:31] principally and then you have the Gaza [07:34] leadership of kamas in Gaza and they [07:38] cover different parts of what the [07:39] movement is doing but they also expose [07:42] the movement to political sensitivities [07:44] of hosts of host governments. When Iran [07:47] retaliate retaliates against the US or [07:49] Israeli positions in the region, the [07:51] missiles and drones pass through or [07:54] target US military bases in the Gulf [07:57] States and some of those Arab states [08:01] host kamas officials. It's referring to [08:03] Qatar here and this creates a difficult [08:04] situation for them. While the movement [08:06] cannot distance itself from Iran, [08:09] it's laboring to avoid indifferent to [08:12] the security concerns of the other [08:15] countries. Okay. So, and it says here, [08:17] the result is messaging that sometimes [08:19] appears layered rather than [08:22] contradictory. And then it gives us a [08:24] little bit of history. It says, "Kamas [08:26] has faced a similar strategic dilemma [08:29] before. During the Syrian conflict, [08:32] referring to the Syrian civil war and [08:33] the fall of the Syrian regime, the [08:35] movement found itself caught between [08:37] competing political pressures. At the [08:39] time, Kamas's leadership had long been [08:41] based in Damascus, benefiting from close [08:44] ties with the Assad regime in Syria and [08:47] Iran and [08:50] then as the Syrian war intensified, Arab [08:52] governments who were sympathetic and [08:54] supportive of the opposition began [08:56] pressuring Kamas to distance itself from [08:59] Assad. At the same time, the Syrian [09:01] government expected loyalty from the [09:03] movement. Hamas eventually took a [09:05] position that angered Assad, angered [09:07] Damascus and led to the relocation of [09:09] its leadership outside of Syria. Okay, [09:12] so its leadership then leave being in [09:14] Syria. Let me simplify this. The Assad [09:17] regime was um a protectorate in the in [09:22] in the last decade or so of its [09:23] existence of Iran. It was very much tied [09:25] in with the Iranizah axis as opposed to [09:29] the Qatari Turkish Sunni axis. [09:33] and Hamas was getting money from Iran [09:36] and they had their they had their [09:37] leadership based in Damascus under the [09:39] protection of Assad. So they were [09:41] entirely in that Iranian orbit. But the [09:46] Arab countries, the Sunni, I'm sorry, [09:49] the the Sunni the Sunni countries, uh, [09:52] Turkey and Qatar were pressuring them to [09:55] back away from their allegiance to Assad [09:57] because they were backing, Turkey was [09:59] backing the rebels against Assad, to [10:02] bring down the Assad regime, against the [10:04] Iranian access. So, kamas guys left and [10:07] from that point forward, their [10:09] leadership has been in Turkey and Qatar. [10:11] You see how this works? Now, the [10:13] leadership in Gaza, this isn't in this [10:15] article, but the leadership in Gaza, [10:17] like Sinoir, the Sinir brothers were [10:19] much more connected to the Iranians, [10:21] okay? And and whatever remains of Hamas [10:24] and Gaza is still has strong had had I [10:27] don't know what it is today. I don't [10:29] know what's left of it, but it had a [10:31] greater allegiance to the Iranian regime [10:34] than did the kamas leadership outside [10:38] of outside of Gaza. Now that doesn't [10:41] mean that they didn't have friendly [10:42] relations. Remember uh Ismael Haneia the [10:46] the political leader of Hamas living [10:47] outside who was living in Qatar was [10:49] actually assassinated in Tehran because [10:51] there were there were friendly relations [10:53] there. [10:55] Okay. [10:57] So, so when that happened, they lost [10:59] their base in Damascus and Iran [11:03] is of course extremely strategically [11:05] important for Hamas because they're the [11:08] ones who've been supplying them with [11:09] weapons and and uh and and supporting [11:12] them for so long. But so now Kamas is [11:15] kind of stuck. So let me let me just [11:17] jump down to the end here. Kamas's [11:19] attempt to navigate these competing [11:20] pressures is understandable, but it [11:22] carries risks within the broader [11:24] resistance camp. resistance camp means [11:26] Iranah that some voices particularly in [11:30] Lebanon have already expressed concern [11:32] about the tone of kamas's latest [11:34] statement right meaning their latest [11:37] statement calling on Iran not to target [11:40] neighboring countries is criticizing the [11:42] Iranian regime [11:44] and there's some guys in Lebanon these [11:46] Shiites meaning that's referring toah [11:48] who are who are looking at kamas going [11:49] what are you doing we've been bailing [11:50] you out for years which is true if the [11:53] movement appears to soften its position [11:55] toward towards Iran under regional [11:56] pressure. It could revive old suspicions [11:59] that Hamas may again drift away from the [12:01] resistance axis during moments of [12:03] political stress, like they're not being [12:05] loyal. The Iranian regime stood with [12:07] them through tough times, and now [12:08] they're they're throwing them under the [12:10] bus. Such perceptions could weaken trust [12:12] among Kamas's most consistent allies. At [12:15] the same time, openly defying the [12:17] concerns of Arab host governments, [12:19] Qatar, Turkey, could jeopardize the [12:21] diplomatic platforms that kamas relies [12:23] on outside Palestine. The movement is [12:26] therefore attempting to walk an [12:28] extremely narrow political path. And [12:30] then look at this line. History suggests [12:32] that such balancing acts rarely remain [12:35] stable for long. As the regional war [12:38] intensifies, the pressure on kamas to [12:39] take clearer positions will likely grow. [12:44] Okay. So, you know, so that's uh that's [12:48] that's a great analysis of the tight [12:52] spot that kamas is in where it's like [12:55] it's it's kind of like a lose-lose [12:56] situation for them because they don't [12:58] know which way the wind is blowing. The [12:59] worst thing for like if it looks like [13:02] the regime is actually going to fall, [13:04] then they then they kind of have to [13:05] abandon the regime. And the Qataris are [13:07] looking at them going like, "Whose side [13:08] are you on here?" and and are the [13:11] Qataris still going to be willing to to [13:14] be the patron of Kamas when all is said [13:16] and done if kamas is still holding its [13:18] loyalty to the Iranian regime? So, [13:20] they're trying to look at which way the [13:22] wind is blowing in this and trying to [13:23] navigate this situation not working out [13:27] so well for them. Let's also add in the [13:28] fact that if they're too nice to Iran, [13:30] the Americans who've been, you know, who [13:32] have this board of peace and there and [13:34] those are the people that they need to [13:35] work with in terms of getting a piece of [13:37] the pie in Gaza as they've been trying [13:39] to do, they have to deal with the [13:41] Americans. So, Hamas is in a very very [13:44] tight spot. And the pressure isn't just [13:45] coming from the West or or from Qatar. [13:50] It's coming from [13:52] uh it's coming from from the rest of the [13:54] Arab world itself. And we see this here. [13:57] This is a very interesting piece in uh [14:01] that was uh translated by Memory, the [14:02] wonderful people at Memory. And this [14:04] came out today, the Middle East Media [14:06] Research Institute. If you follow my [14:07] channel, I mention them all the time. I [14:09] I have no affiliation with them other [14:11] than the fact that I'm a donor. Um and [14:13] and they just they just published this [14:16] very interesting piece. The editor of [14:17] the Saudi State Daily, so this is State [14:20] Media in Saudi Arabia in Arabic. The [14:22] editor of the Saudi State Daily wrote an [14:25] editorial [14:26] where he said, "The war against Iran is [14:29] the result of Kamas's strategic mistake [14:31] of launching the October 7th attack [14:33] against Israel." So this is, look at [14:34] this story here [14:36] in a March 10th, 2026 article. So this [14:41] is even before Hamas made these two [14:43] statements that I started with. But in a [14:46] March 10th, 2026 article, so this is a [14:48] week ago, Khaled al- Malik, editor and [14:51] chief of the Saudi State Daily, which is [14:54] also called Alazer, no connection, no [14:56] affiliation with the Qatari one, but [14:59] Khaled al- Malik, editor of the Saudi [15:02] State Daily, wrote that America's in [15:04] Israel's current war in Iran is the [15:05] result of Kamas's Iranbacked attack in [15:08] southern Israel on October 7th, 2023. [15:12] The reckless attack, he argued, enabled [15:14] Israel and the US to systematically [15:16] dismantle the entire Iran-headed [15:18] resistance axis and launch a major [15:20] military action against Iran itself. So, [15:22] here's here's some excerpts from the [15:24] piece. Really worth reading. US [15:26] President Donald Trump is saying that he [15:27] will be involved in the selection of [15:29] Iran's new president in accordance with [15:31] American criteria, that the US will [15:34] seize control of Iran's oil like it did [15:36] in Venezuela, and that he does not rule [15:37] out dismantling Iran into smaller [15:39] states. I'm not saying with certainty [15:41] that Trump can indeed do this after the [15:43] war is over. But at the same time, it [15:45] cannot be ruled out that he has a plan [15:47] to implement this given Iran's expected [15:49] defeat in the widescale attack against [15:52] it as evidenced by the facts on the [15:53] battlefield. US control of Iran's oil is [15:55] one of Trump's goals. But his foremost [15:57] objective is to give Israel a prize for [16:00] its participation in the war by [16:02] weakening Iran so much that it will need [16:04] a long time, even decades to return to [16:07] what it was. meaning this this this [16:09] editorial is not even anticipating the [16:11] fall of the regime since the October 7th [16:14] adventure carried out by the Palestinian [16:17] kamas. It's namely its attack on Israel [16:19] and abduction of dozens of Israeli [16:21] soldiers. It's obviously it wasn't only [16:23] soldiers. The region has undergone [16:26] changes that benefit Israel. Hamasbalah [16:28] and the militias in Syria have taken [16:30] blows. the Iraqi uh uh that's the Iraqi [16:35] terrorist groups have come under threat [16:37] and now Iran is at the epicenter of the [16:40] war. It is important to note that what [16:42] Hamas did on October 7th has brought [16:44] destruction upon several countries [16:46] causing the death and injury of [16:48] thousands and subjecting these countries [16:50] to Israeli control every time they [16:52] showed any resistance in order to avoid [16:54] occupation and a repeat of the attacks. [16:56] And here is the punchline of this. The [17:00] lesson. This is the lesson we must [17:01] learn. When decisions of war and peace [17:04] are no longer made by the state, but [17:06] rather by reckless militias and [17:08] semi-military groups that are not part [17:10] of the state institutions, the result is [17:12] what was reaped by Hamas and other [17:14] Palestinian factions, then by the [17:16] militias and the countries neighboring [17:18] Israel and now by Iran as well. Meaning [17:20] they're calling out the whole thing of [17:22] kamas andbah, all these non-state actors [17:25] when they make decisions about war and [17:27] peace. when they launch in October 7th. [17:29] This is the result. Our region is [17:31] currently ex currently experiencing pain [17:34] and losing territory due to the [17:36] miscalculations of Iran and its proxies. [17:39] It began in Gaza, continued in Lebanon [17:41] and Syria, and now has reached Iran, and [17:43] perhaps it will later reach Iraq, too. [17:46] This is despite the fact that the Saudi [17:47] kingdom and other countries warned [17:49] against what is happening today and [17:51] advised the use of logic, dialogue, and [17:53] diplomacy to resolve disagreements. Wow. [17:57] Let's and let's remember this is Saudi [17:59] Arabia. This is state media meaning an [18:02] editorial like this by the editor of the [18:05] Saudi state daily. This is a position [18:08] paper. Look, think of it as a press [18:09] release from the kingdom. It is a [18:11] position paper of the Saudi government [18:13] saying pointing the finger at Hamas and [18:16] saying this is all your fault and this [18:18] is all Iran's this is the fault of you [18:20] and Iran and this whole axis of [18:22] resistance and the whole thing bringing [18:25] all this destruction and and all of the [18:27] results of this it's it's pointing the [18:29] finger at them. So, you know, if you go [18:31] back to before this war where the Saudis [18:33] are advocating for a Palestinian state [18:36] and we're kind of getting into the sort [18:38] of pro- Hamas camp in the, you know, [18:41] when it came to Gaza, look at where [18:43] things are right now for Hamas. I mean, [18:46] this is this is severe. So, Hamas is [18:48] trying to, you know, to salvage [18:50] something. So, while this whole war is [18:52] going on, this is an amazing story. Just [18:54] today, it it's there's this story that [18:57] broke. No one's noticing this. It's not [18:59] a headline that kamas has held [19:01] consultations in Cairo to revive the [19:03] Gaza agreement. While Israel is [19:05] preoccupied with the war in Iran, Hamas [19:07] has kicked off consultations in Cairo to [19:10] overcome obstacles in implementing the [19:12] second phase or the next phase of the [19:14] Gaza ceasefire agreement. Experts told [19:17] Ashark al-Saswat, that's this uh what [19:20] we're reading now, this is an Arab [19:21] language daily that's really out of [19:23] England, that kamas officials are [19:25] seeking new ways [19:27] forward that would set the agreement on [19:28] the right path, put a stop to Israeli [19:31] violations, and reach solutions to daily [19:33] crisis caused by the Israeli siege on [19:36] the enclave. Kamas officials held a [19:38] series of meetings with Egyptian [19:40] intelligence members and United Nations [19:41] envoy Nikolai Maladinov that tackled [19:44] political and field developments in Gaza [19:47] reported Egyptian and Qatari media. [19:50] Okay. Two sources close to Kamas told [19:52] Ashar Alaswat that the movement's [19:55] delegation was uh okay was led by this [19:57] guy. It doesn't really matter. says, [19:59] "The sources reveal that kamas [20:00] disarmament is on the table, but [20:02] discussions will be resumed once once [20:05] Palestinian police and international [20:06] stabilization forces are deployed. Now, [20:08] suddenly kamas is willing to talk about [20:10] disarmament. They're scared out of their [20:12] minds." Three sources told Reuters on [20:14] Monday that envoys from US President [20:16] Donald Trump's board of peace have met [20:18] representatives of kamas in Cairo in an [20:21] effort to safeguard the Gaza ceasefire [20:23] under serious strain since the US and [20:25] Israel began bombing Iran. [20:28] Okay. Um [20:30] and then following that it was announced [20:32] that Israel would reopen the border [20:33] crossing. Um and maybe that was a and [20:36] then there's speculation about whether [20:37] that was the result of the meeting in [20:39] Cairo between Hamas representatives and [20:42] the Americans. [20:45] The sources said the kamas [20:46] representatives warned the board that [20:48] movement could that that the movement [20:51] could back away that kamas could back [20:53] away from its previous promises under [20:55] the Gaza ceasefire if Israel maintains [20:57] new restrictions imposed on Gaza during [21:00] the Iran war. And then it says that [21:02] there there's expected to be more [21:04] meetings later this week and Israel [21:07] continues to eliminate kamas members uh [21:10] in the Gaza Strip. Okay. So they're [21:12] they're scrambling scrambling to revive [21:16] something of this kind of peace deal [21:18] before the dust settles on the fall of [21:20] the Iranian regime so they could [21:22] possibly salvage something and and and [21:24] keep themselves going. And as for this u [21:28] statement that they made that I opened [21:30] up with about how kamas urged Iran to [21:32] stop attacking Gulf states uh according [21:35] to wet based on Israeli sources [21:40] um Israeli officials said kamas issued [21:43] the statement following explicit [21:45] explicit pressure from Qatar. According [21:48] to Israeli sources, Hamas received [21:49] signals from Qatari officials warning [21:52] that if it did not publicly condemn [21:54] Iran's attacks on the Gulf States, Qatar [21:56] could halt financial assistance to the [21:58] terrorist group and expel senior kamas [22:00] leaders from Doha. Just think about [22:02] that. Because Hamas was was had the [22:05] previous day put out a statement [22:07] favorable [22:08] to uh to Iran and they had praised Ali [22:12] Ki. [22:14] Now, Qatar said to them, "If you don't [22:16] condemn them, we're going to cut off [22:18] your funding and kick and kick all the [22:20] Kamas leaders out of Doha." Right now, [22:22] Iran is being decimated. If Hamas loses [22:24] Qatar, too, they have nobody. They [22:27] basically don't exist. Remember, Kamas [22:28] is just it's a terrorist organization. [22:30] Two principal sources of funding, Iran, [22:33] Qatar. If Iran's taken off the table, as [22:35] it looks like it is, they have no [22:36] ability to fund anything right now. If [22:38] Qatar abandons them, then then they're [22:41] just a bunch of thugs running around in [22:43] Gaza with nothing behind them, [22:44] especially if they get expelled from [22:46] Qatar. [22:48] Um, [22:50] at the beginning of the war, Kamas [22:51] condemned the killing of Iran Supreme [22:53] Leader. And then after his death was [22:54] announced, they praised him, right? And [22:56] then, uh, there was a this month, [23:00] however, Arab media reported an unusual [23:02] breakdown in communication between Kamas [23:04] leadership and the IRGC. [23:08] and they're not sure if the disruption [23:10] is the result of the fact that the IRGC [23:12] guys they were communicating with are [23:13] dead or if the IRGC just stopped taking [23:16] Hamas's calls. And then yesterday or [23:19] today, Kamas condemned the killing of [23:21] Alila Reani. That's the guy that's the [23:23] guy who was really running the Iranian [23:25] regime, the top adviser who was killed [23:27] yesterday. And so Kamas put out a [23:28] statement. So they're still hedging, [23:30] they're still meaning they condemned uh [23:33] Iran, they called on Iran to stop [23:34] attacking their Arab neighbors. But when [23:36] the next senior leader in in Iran was [23:39] killed, they condemned that, too. So, [23:41] they're still playing both sides. And [23:43] meanwhile, in terms of what's going on [23:45] in Gaza, the IDF is not only operating [23:47] in Lebanon and Iran, they are still [23:50] demolishing terrorist infrastructure in [23:53] Gaza, weakening Kamas, weakening their [23:55] infrastructure. IDF says it has [23:57] demolished 5 kilometers of Kamas tunnels [24:00] in Gaza over the past two weeks. It [24:01] takes a long time to demolish these [24:03] things. There's hundreds and hundreds of [24:04] kilometers of tunnels. There's still a [24:06] lot left to do and the Israelis are [24:08] still working steadily to to um to [24:12] demolish all the terrorist [24:13] infrastructure. So there's an update on [24:15] where Hamas is right now with the Gaza, [24:18] you know, the Gaza situation is kind of [24:20] on hold and which what type of solutions [24:24] become acceptable or become realistic or [24:27] reasonable for Gaza is really going to [24:30] be an interesting subject when this war [24:33] comes to an end because whether there's [24:37] still an Iranian regime, how the Gulf [24:39] States and the Saudis behave towards [24:41] Israel and towards America [24:44] If there is no more Iranian regime [24:46] anymore, how this war turns out, there [24:48] is so and what happens in Lebanon, is [24:50] there still a if there's noisbah and [24:52] there's no Iranian regime, I mean, [24:54] what's kamas anymore? You know, and the [24:56] Qataris are looking at them sideways [24:58] going like, do we still want to be with [24:59] them? Especially if the Americans are [25:01] bailing out the Qataris right now. So, [25:05] uh Kamas is is is panicking as they [25:08] should be. And uh you know, just one [25:11] more subplot going on on the sidelines. [25:14] And uh that's what I'm trying to do here [25:15] on this channel, keep you informed about [25:16] everything that's going on. Please uh [25:19] drop a comment, please like, share, do [25:21] all that great stuff. And uh again, I'm [25:23] so grateful for the rapid growth of this [25:26] channel. It really encourages me and [25:27] shows that there's a that there's a lot [25:29] of need for this. A lot of people who [25:31] are hungry for real information and good [25:32] analysis coming out of Israel. So I [25:35] appreciate it. Thanks for watching. [25:37] Thanks for sharing. God bless.
