In Gaza, Hamas is exploiting the pause in fighting to regroup, while Israel faces critical decisions on security and rebuilding efforts. In Judea and Samaria, an October 7-style attack was thwarted, highlighting the ongoing threats across multiple fronts.

  • Israel's senior middle east analyst matti shoshani, who will
  • 00:04:25.681 --> 00:04:29.618
  • Review what's happening in the middle east. in our
  • 00:04:29.618 --> 00:04:33.922
  • Neighborhood. a war zone in the gaza strip, been under fire by
  • 00:04:33.922 --> 00:04:41.430
  • Hamas terrorists. you don't have time to sit and drink your
  • 00:04:41.430 --> 00:04:45.200
  • Coffee and wake up in the morning and get ready for the
  • 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:47.936
  • Day and prepare. so sometimes i woke up at two in the morning
  • 00:04:47.936 --> 00:04:51.740
  • After an hour and a half of sleep, and you need to wake up
  • 00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:55.911
  • Immediately and do your job and do it to perfection. or people
  • 00:04:55.911 --> 00:04:59.982
  • Die.
  • 00:04:59.982 --> 00:05:01.216
  • >> you literally have your life on the line. you don't know what
  • 00:05:01.317 --> 00:05:03.952
  • Corner you turn and somebody has got a gun pointed at you.
  • 00:05:03.952 --> 00:05:11.026
  • >> so in order to wake up, i just took a vinegar pill and i
  • 00:05:11.026 --> 00:05:14.797
  • Really felt the energy levels go up faster. the clarity of mind
  • 00:05:14.797 --> 00:05:19.001
  • That doesn't usually happen immediately when you wake up in
  • 00:05:19.001 --> 00:05:21.704
  • The morning. and i don't remember taking much stuff with
  • 00:05:21.704 --> 00:05:25.074
  • Me into the gaza strip. i had my sleeping bag, a flashlight, and
  • 00:05:25.074 --> 00:05:29.278
  • The vinegar bottle. so that's what i had with me.
  • 00:05:29.278 --> 00:05:33.115
  • >> you're a young person. you're very healthy, but you still
  • 00:05:33.115 --> 00:05:35.918
  • Think that vinegar was helpful to get you to even a higher
  • 00:05:35.918 --> 00:05:40.122
  • Level of performance.
  • 00:05:40.122 --> 00:05:41.357
  • >> it's helping me to exceed my normal abilities. so let's say,
  • 00:05:41.457 --> 00:05:45.260
  • You know, i'm at 100%, and that puts me at 120. with raising
  • 00:05:45.260 --> 00:05:50.199
  • Three kids, you need to be sharp to make the right decisions.
  • 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.435
  • >> raising three kids may be equal to combat.
  • 00:05:53.435 --> 00:05:57.005
  • >> a lot harder, a lot harder. listen, i'm still taking vinegar
  • 00:05:57.005 --> 00:06:00.175
  • Every day because i want to be there with my kids when they
  • 00:06:00.175 --> 00:06:03.479
  • Grow old. i want to be able to dance at their wedding and carry
  • 00:06:03.479 --> 00:06:06.682
  • My kids and my grandkids for years to come. and this is the
  • 00:06:06.682 --> 00:06:10.219
  • Time to start. i mean, when you're young.
  • 00:06:10.219 --> 00:06:22.898
  • And now we'll turn to tbn, israel's senior middle east
  • 00:06:22.998 --> 00:06:26.168
  • Analyst matti shoshani, who will guide us through what's
  • 00:06:26.168 --> 00:06:29.838
  • Happening in our neighborhood, the middle east, and how trump's
  • 00:06:29.838 --> 00:06:33.509
  • Plan for clearing up the gaza strip is set to operate. take it
  • 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:38.147
  • From here, matti shoshani.
  • 00:06:38.147 --> 00:06:39.615
  • >> thank you. yael. now we turn to something completely
  • 00:06:39.615 --> 00:06:43.051
  • Different. the unexpected people affected by the shift of power
  • 00:06:43.051 --> 00:06:48.257
  • Here in the middle east. now, hold on to us just a second,
  • 00:06:48.257 --> 00:06:51.894
  • Because this is going to be a tiny bit complicated. so in a
  • 00:06:51.894 --> 00:06:54.997
  • Quick summary, over the last 15 months, israel, together with
  • 00:06:54.997 --> 00:06:58.167
  • The help of the us and to a lesser degree several other
  • 00:06:58.167 --> 00:07:00.836
  • Countries in this region, has pushed back hamas in the gaza
  • 00:07:00.836 --> 00:07:04.039
  • Strip, hezbollah in lebanon. we have seen the toppling of the
  • 00:07:04.039 --> 00:07:07.576
  • Assad regime, who was propped up by the iranians within syria
  • 00:07:07.576 --> 00:07:11.246
  • Proper. we've seen the russians push back in this region. we've
  • 00:07:11.246 --> 00:07:14.082
  • Had fighting against the houthis and direct strikes in iran. and
  • 00:07:14.082 --> 00:07:17.753
  • Who in the last couple of weeks is in the headlines stating that
  • 00:07:17.753 --> 00:07:20.756
  • They don't want to get involved in a conflict against israel.
  • 00:07:20.756 --> 00:07:24.059
  • You wouldn't guess, but it's the iraqi government. yes, yes, the
  • 00:07:24.059 --> 00:07:29.164
  • Iraqi government, which has largely supported and influenced
  • 00:07:29.164 --> 00:07:32.768
  • Heavily by the irgc, the iranian revolutionary guard corps, has
  • 00:07:32.768 --> 00:07:36.638
  • Been speaking up publicly for the first time in such clear
  • 00:07:36.638 --> 00:07:39.708
  • Words against conflict with the state of israel. and why are
  • 00:07:39.708 --> 00:07:42.945
  • They doing that? they'll reference the footage of what's
  • 00:07:42.945 --> 00:07:45.547
  • Been happening in the gaza strip and say, iran, iran, why would
  • 00:07:45.547 --> 00:07:48.684
  • You compel us to go down the same route as what you've done
  • 00:07:48.684 --> 00:07:52.120
  • To hamas, or you've done to others like hezbollah? they're
  • 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.823
  • Aware of the shift of power in the middle east. they're aware
  • 00:07:54.823 --> 00:07:57.759
  • Of the fact that the iranians that were once considered to be
  • 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.629
  • Almost this unstoppable force of evil has lost a lot of its
  • 00:08:00.629 --> 00:08:04.967
  • Foothold, a huge amount of its grip, a huge amount of its
  • 00:08:04.967 --> 00:08:08.070
  • Influence in this region. about 15 months ago, before october
  • 00:08:08.070 --> 00:08:12.007
  • 7th, if you asked yourself, what did iran have against israel and
  • 00:08:12.007 --> 00:08:15.410
  • The axis powers of israel? so that would be the us, the uk to
  • 00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:20.482
  • A lesser degree, and several other of the abraham accord
  • 00:08:20.482 --> 00:08:23.652
  • Countries in this region. the iranians had what they called
  • 00:08:23.652 --> 00:08:26.922
  • The doctrine of the circle of fire around the state of israel.
  • 00:08:26.922 --> 00:08:29.658
  • They had hamas, they had hezbollah, they had houthis.
  • 00:08:29.658 --> 00:08:32.995
  • They had the ability to launch intercontinental ballistic
  • 00:08:32.995 --> 00:08:36.031
  • Missiles directly against the state of israel. and almost all
  • 00:08:36.031 --> 00:08:38.834
  • Of that is gone now. and what we're seeing is and here's the
  • 00:08:38.834 --> 00:08:41.603
  • Key word in this entire segment, we're seeing the increase in the
  • 00:08:41.603 --> 00:08:45.574
  • Force of retaliation, or the force of israel's perception of
  • 00:08:45.574 --> 00:08:49.545
  • Power within the middle east at the expense of the iranians in
  • 00:08:49.545 --> 00:08:53.549
  • This region. and that's very important, because everything in
  • 00:08:53.549 --> 00:08:57.052
  • The middle east, and i dare say, everything around the world when
  • 00:08:57.052 --> 00:08:59.888
  • It comes to hard diplomacy, has to do with the perception of
  • 00:08:59.888 --> 00:09:03.659
  • Your power and the expectation of what you can do to retaliate
  • 00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:07.529
  • If someone attacks you. so for the first time, we're seeing a
  • 00:09:07.529 --> 00:09:11.033
  • New voice come out of multiple arab countries. we're seeing
  • 00:09:11.033 --> 00:09:15.404
  • People in lebanon saying, out with hezbollah, out with the
  • 00:09:15.404 --> 00:09:18.440
  • Iranian influence in this country. and what we're seeing
  • 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.943
  • Now with these clips and these voices that are coming out, is a
  • 00:09:20.943 --> 00:09:23.845
  • Shift in the perception of power and a strong call from within
  • 00:09:23.845 --> 00:09:27.783
  • Iraqi people to say, we don't want iranian involvement, and we
  • 00:09:27.783 --> 00:09:31.386
  • Don't want you pushing us into the hands of the israelis and
  • 00:09:31.386 --> 00:09:35.223
  • Their allies. and that's a good thing. that is a voice of
  • 00:09:35.223 --> 00:09:38.827
  • Stability, that is a voice of strength, that is a voice of
  • 00:09:38.827 --> 00:09:41.964
  • Reason within the middle east. and if we think two steps
  • 00:09:41.964 --> 00:09:45.100
  • Forward to what a us, saudi, israel engagement accords could
  • 00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:50.872
  • Look like in relation to the abraham accords, this would be a
  • 00:09:50.872 --> 00:09:53.775
  • Step in that direction. and that is one of the good outcomes of
  • 00:09:53.775 --> 00:09:57.312
  • This last war, because there have been many negative ones.
  • 00:09:57.312 --> 00:09:59.648
  • But this is a very positive outcome where now we're seeing
  • 00:09:59.648 --> 00:10:02.784
  • The shift in the perception of power balances within the middle
  • 00:10:02.784 --> 00:10:06.521
  • East. and now on to something entirely different. president
  • 00:10:06.521 --> 00:10:10.459
  • Trump has been floating this idea for the last week, give or
  • 00:10:10.459 --> 00:10:14.129
  • Take, that he wants to remove population from the gaza strip
  • 00:10:14.129 --> 00:10:17.566
  • And move it into arab countries. if we want to be specific, what
  • 00:10:17.566 --> 00:10:21.370
  • He's been saying is, is that he's suggesting and he's spoken
  • 00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:24.339
  • To the king of jordan and the president of egypt about the
  • 00:10:24.339 --> 00:10:29.344
  • Idea of removing up to 1.5 million palestinians from the
  • 00:10:29.344 --> 00:10:32.614
  • Gaza strip to jordan and to egypt, and possibly to other
  • 00:10:32.614 --> 00:10:36.918
  • Countries, as he calls them. but let's examine this idea that
  • 00:10:36.918 --> 00:10:41.123
  • He's proposing. first of all, he's not talking about a
  • 00:10:41.123 --> 00:10:44.092
  • Forceful removal of people. the idea, he stated, was the
  • 00:10:44.092 --> 00:10:47.362
  • Destruction of the gaza strip is too great, and there's a need to
  • 00:10:47.362 --> 00:10:50.532
  • Remove the people there to another country so the gaza
  • 00:10:50.532 --> 00:10:52.868
  • Strip can be recovered and they can return to other homes. the
  • 00:10:52.868 --> 00:10:56.405
  • Best thing for the people of gaza would be to have hamas
  • 00:10:56.405 --> 00:10:59.941
  • Government removed, and then have a positive democratic
  • 00:10:59.941 --> 00:11:03.912
  • Liberal, to a certain degree, as much as possible governance that
  • 00:11:03.912 --> 00:11:07.749
  • Would rebuild the gaza strip. and with a lack of that option,
  • 00:11:07.749 --> 00:11:11.186
  • Which is currently the case in the gaza strip, there is another
  • 00:11:11.186 --> 00:11:14.389
  • Alternative completely remove hamas from the gaza strip. and
  • 00:11:14.389 --> 00:11:18.026
  • If you can't do that, he has possibly an idea that's saying,
  • 00:11:18.026 --> 00:11:21.663
  • And this is president trump. well, maybe we let some of these
  • 00:11:21.663 --> 00:11:26.001
  • People have a better life elsewhere. the road to a better
  • 00:11:26.001 --> 00:11:29.104
  • Life for the people of gaza might be removing a substantial
  • 00:11:29.104 --> 00:11:32.908
  • Number of hamas combatants and leadership from the gaza strip
  • 00:11:32.908 --> 00:11:36.545
  • To another part of the world, which is something many
  • 00:11:36.545 --> 00:11:38.847
  • Countries push back against for obvious reasons. who wants to
  • 00:11:38.847 --> 00:11:41.283
  • Have such a large number of terrorist leaders in their own
  • 00:11:41.283 --> 00:11:44.586
  • Country? that makes sense completely. and another option
  • 00:11:44.586 --> 00:11:46.922
  • Is saying we want to allow a better life while we're
  • 00:11:46.922 --> 00:11:49.658
  • Rebuilding. and this is going to take a while for a good number
  • 00:11:49.658 --> 00:11:53.061
  • Of these people. and to do that, we're going to open up the
  • 00:11:53.061 --> 00:11:56.031
  • Financial doors to do that, we're going to open up the
  • 00:11:56.031 --> 00:11:58.867
  • Political and diplomatic doors for them to transition to other
  • 00:11:58.867 --> 00:12:01.903
  • Countries at the end. there's likely an ulterior motive here
  • 00:12:01.903 --> 00:12:04.172
  • For president trump in making these statements. and the motive
  • 00:12:04.172 --> 00:12:06.208
  • Might be reshaping power balances between the us and
  • 00:12:06.208 --> 00:12:10.579
  • Jordan, the egyptians and hamas, propping up the pieces to reach
  • 00:12:10.579 --> 00:12:15.817
  • A different agreement, which involves them being more part of
  • 00:12:15.817 --> 00:12:19.121
  • A solution or maybe a smaller population movement for
  • 00:12:19.121 --> 00:12:23.558
  • Rehabilitation of certain people. it's an option also to
  • 00:12:23.558 --> 00:12:25.927
  • Think outside of the box and if anything is true, that's what
  • 00:12:25.927 --> 00:12:29.698
  • The trump administration often brings us in the middle east is
  • 00:12:29.698 --> 00:12:32.601
  • The question of, well, why not? and sometimes that's a very
  • 00:12:32.601 --> 00:12:36.605
  • Fresh thing to do in diplomacy and specifically in the middle
  • 00:12:36.605 --> 00:12:41.877

  • 00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:05.480
  • Stars are started and amit, a boyfriend, is also a paramedic
  • 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:10.451
  • And he tells her that he is going to netivot station and if
  • 00:21:10.451 --> 00:21:13.588
  • She wants to come with him. and amit. like amit says that no,
  • 00:21:13.588 --> 00:21:19.894
  • Because her duty is to be the paramedic of kibbutz. so she
  • 00:21:19.894 --> 00:21:24.365
  • Will stay. i think we need to use the sentence that she will
  • 00:21:24.365 --> 00:21:28.202
  • Be the shield of their citizens. she goes to the clinic in the
  • 00:21:28.202 --> 00:21:34.175

  • 7 a.m. until 2 p.m, amit saved lives of many injures with
  • 00:21:40.648 --> 00:21:47.088
  • Limited resource. in a situation that no one can imagine. and she
  • 00:21:47.088 --> 00:21:55.330
  • Was so calm. the patient that was saved from amit clinic say
  • 00:21:55.330 --> 00:22:01.502
  • That she was an angel of heaven. in the clinic of kibbutz berrin
  • 00:22:01.502 --> 00:22:05.440
  • In that saturday. and we have our haim of that is a ambulance
  • 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:13.047
  • Driver. immediately when the sirens were started, they got a
  • 00:22:13.047 --> 00:22:17.885
  • Call about a shooting event in ofakim area and without thinking
  • 00:22:17.885 --> 00:22:22.457
  • Twice, go to the ambulance and start to drive. aaron is
  • 00:22:22.457 --> 00:22:26.494
  • Religious so he doesn't drive saturday, but you know it's
  • 00:22:26.494 --> 00:22:29.964

  • >> saving lives is above. above the saturday. yes.
  • 00:22:31.399 --> 00:22:34.268
  • >> go to the ambulance and from from the first people that go

  • Out in the 7th of october will drive to the patient. he's got
  • 00:22:39.307 --> 00:22:43.277
  • Shot in his chest and he died on the spot. through this war,
  • 00:22:43.277 --> 00:22:49.417
  • Marder lost a lot of good people, loved people. people
  • 00:22:49.417 --> 00:22:54.188
  • That we missed a lot. in this moment, you understand that you
  • 00:22:54.188 --> 00:22:58.526
  • Don't stop. but the meaning is just getting stronger about
  • 00:22:58.526 --> 00:23:03.464
  • What? what you're doing in this day. you know, the israeli
  • 00:23:03.464 --> 00:23:07.769
  • Paramedic feel comfortable when they don't know nothing. this is
  • 00:23:07.769 --> 00:23:11.773

  • Attack. and in the after event i can take patient that was shot
  • 00:23:21.516 --> 00:23:27.221
  • Because of terrorist attack. so i think the israeli paramedic is
  • 00:23:27.221 --> 00:23:31.526
  • Feel comfortable when he doesn't know anything, when it's.
  • 00:23:31.526 --> 00:23:35.930

  • I can say it like the israeli paramedics where there is
  • 00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:43.471
  • Injured, they go to the injured. it doesn't matter who is the

  • Injured. if it's arabic or jewish like i am paramedic

  • Hamada. if he need me, i go there. i think i can say it. i

  • The people of israel for thousands of years. i'm talking
  • 00:27:01.705 --> 00:27:05.309
  • About from the time of the exodus from egypt until this

  • War, now that israel is fighting against multiple enemies and
  • 00:27:09.647 --> 00:27:14.018
  • Against all odds, and we are still here not because of our
  • 00:27:14.018 --> 00:27:18.622
  • Army, but because god is faithful and he is our
  • 00:27:18.622 --> 00:27:23.661
  • Protector. so if you need a personal encouragement in your
  • 00:27:23.661 --> 00:27:27.264
  • Life, just look towards israel and know that our god is
  • 00:27:27.264 --> 00:27:32.302
  • Faithful always to all the promises that he made to you and
  • 00:27:32.302 --> 00:27:38.042
