WEBVTT - Sharri | 10 October 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:05.240 Why From Israel is a special edition of Sharing. 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.800 Hello and welcome to my final show this week from Israel, 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.520 and first tonight to a world exclusive. Israeli Prime Minister 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:21.080 Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken exclusively to me about the war 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:26.040 he's fighting, the threat of Iran to Western civilization, and 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:30.640 his determination for the Saudi Arabia normalization deal to go ahead. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.680 I was privileged to spend more than forty five minutes 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.200 with NETANYAHUO yesterday afternoon in his Prime Ministerial offices in Jerusalem. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.479 Our meeting was held just a few hours before the 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.159 Prime Minister took a call with Joe Biden to discuss 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.360 the retaliation strike on Iran after it filed two hundred 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.200 missiles on Israel last week. Now, there were only three 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.240 of us in the room, the Prime Minister, his chief 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:00.400 of staff and me. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:01.600 It was a. 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.600 Confidential conversation and an off the record briefing about the 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.840 war and where it goes from here. But the Prime 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.959 Minister said that I can share with you three things 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.840 that he spoke about Nettna, who spoke strongly about the 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.840 threat of Iran. He said, the threat of Iran is 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.800 not only to Israel's survival but to the Middle East 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.520 and to Western civilization. He said that Israel is fighting 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.200 the broader war against terrorists who want to take us 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.680 all back to the dark ages, and with the war raging, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.240 he spoke about the prospect. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.039 Of peace he still hopes. 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.639 He said that the deal to normalize relations with Saudi 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.560 Arabia will go ahead. This deal was close to being 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.160 finalized in late twenty twenty three, and it's a key 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.320 reason why Iran, through its proxies Hamas and Hesbela, attacked. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.480 Israel on October seven. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.680 Nettiyah who told me he was not just hopeful, but 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.440 determined the Saudi deal would go ahead. The rest of 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.359 the meeting was confidential, but I can tell you some 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.600 of what I shared with Netanyahu during our meeting. I 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:21.960 told him how domestic politics was influencing foreign policy in Australia. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:27.320 I explained how Anthony Albanesi and Penny Wong's desperate desire 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.880 to appease Muslim voters in Sydney's marginal seats in the 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.440 West is behind many of the government's hostile. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.600 Policies towards Israel. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.560 I spoke to him of the anger that many Australian 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.280 Jews feel towards the Albanesi government over its betrayal of 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.880 Israel at its time of need. I explained to Netanyaho 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.040 how the Albanesi government had fast tracked visas for nearly 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:58.079 three thousand Gazans without adequate security checks, and I said 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.480 this was a big political issue on the front page 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.240 of the papers. I also spoke to him about the 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.440 problem of anti Semitism that we're facing in Australia, and 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.080 I was only half joking when I told him that 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.880 I would probably be safer wearing my mug and David 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.160 my Star of David necklace on the border with Lebanon 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.600 than in parts of Sydney where jew hatred is open 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.959 and unabated. I also told him how Peter Dutton, the 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.600 opposition leader, had followed in the footsteps of former Australian 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:36.200 leaders in standing firm with Israel. Unlike every Israeli I've 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:41.440 met on this assignment. While Netanyahu is a strong wartime leader, 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.840 he is a wartime leader who is desperate for peace. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.920 Israel does not want or desire war, but on October 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:55.440 seventh it was brutally thrust upon it by Hamas and 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.440 now by every terror group which wants to destroy it now. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.240 For me personally and certainly as a journalist, this. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.760 Was the meeting of a lifetime. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.600 It was extraordinary to be granted an in depth meeting 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.840 with the wartime leader when he's leading his nation. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.640 In major battles. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.719 Imagine having the chance to sit down with Winston Churchill 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.680 during his fight against the Nazis. 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.839 Well, that's what this meeting was like. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.640 The Prime Minister was strong and tough and very clear 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.839 in his vision, but also warm, engaging, open and interested. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.520 He asked questions about Australia, about my family, even who 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.280 was looking after my children while I was in Israel. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.520 It's highly unusual for a journalist to be invited into 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.520 the very heart of his prime ministerial operations and to 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.080 be given so much time. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.480 I can tell you that the criticism. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.719 From Washington that Netanyahu doesn't have a plan or that 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.520 he doesn't know what he's doing in this war is 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.920 utterly wrong. After speaking with him at length, he does 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.120 have a clear strategy for the war, and. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.719 He outlined it. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:14.240 It's obvious his motive is the survival of the Jewish state, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.560 but he's also fighting the terrorists and Iran to protect 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.680 the world from dark forces and Netinya, who's success in 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.240 not just weakening but smashing Iran's main proxy groups has 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.520 been astonishing. As I've said before, incredible military feats. The 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.800 pager and the walkie talkie attacks were the most sophisticated 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:43.160 and targeted strikes of our time. Nettnaho also ended Hassan 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.440 Nasralla's thirty two year reign by ordering his execution in 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.839 a Bea route bunker. At the moment he was executed, Netina, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.640 who was speaking at the United Nations, It's possible the 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.920 last thing the terror leader saw on this earth was 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.560 his arch enemy speaking. And all that remains of Hamas 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.800 is its leader Yaya Sinhwa, who is too scared to 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:12.640 emerge after watching virtually every other senior terror figure be 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:18.640 executed in cunning moves by Israel. Natiya, who has taken 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.800 on the terrorists all the while facing incredible international pressure 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:29.440 from weak woke leaders. As you know, I often speak 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.000 about the weak international leadership that demands a cease fire 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.960 of Israel even though there are still one hundred and 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.239 one hostages, even when hundreds of rockets are being fired 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.640 at Israel, and even when terrorists remain on the doorstep. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.039 If Natiya who would have listened to the international community, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.279 including US President Joe Biden, and how to cease fire, 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.360 both Hermas and Hezbla would still pose a major. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.320 Threat to Israel. Instead, they're all but destroyed. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.200 And speaking of Biden, just a few hours after my 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.760 meeting with Netanyahu, he and the US President spoke on 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.160 the phone for an hour. Kamala Harris joined the call. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.040 You can see here a photograph of Nettunjahoo surrounded by 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.960 his advisers during that call. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.920 It was their first call in nearly fifty days, and. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.880 They discussed the response to Iran's ballistic missile attack last week. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.360 The White House described the call as direct and productive 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.000 and said that Biden had affirmed his ironclad commitment to 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.960 Israel's security and rite to defend itself. Nettina Who's office 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.520 said the call was conducted in a positive spirit. The 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:51.160 upcoming US election will undoubtedly influence Biden's position on how 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.120 Israel should respond to Iran. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.000 For Nettayaho, his wartime. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.720 Leadership has seen a resurgence in his support in Israel. 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.760 According to the polls, his popularity is now on the 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.960 rise after it sank in the immediate aftermath of October seven, 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.080 Poland conducted by direct polls shows Nettiya, who now leads 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.760 his two closest rivals, Betty Gance and opposition leader Lapid 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:24.240 by thirty points. Colonel Richard camp who's been living in 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.040 Israel for the past year, he explained this on My 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.360 show last night, as did veteran of the Prime Minister's Office, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:31.480 Danny Seaman. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:37.319 He's an extremely strong leader. He's been criticized and vilified 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.120 around the world by other leaders, including President Biden, but 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.720 everything he's done has shown to be right and proved 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:44.160 to be right. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.640 He's also a leader in the eyes of Israelis of 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.240 international standing, once in a generation leader. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.000 It's an assessment Australia's Foreign Minister Former Foreign Minister Alexander 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.280 Downer has also made. He wrote that Netto who has 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.320 been a hate figure for the center left and fire left. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.360 He writes, of course he has domestic scandals and issues 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.400 to deal with, but his political skill and courage over 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.960 the past year make him. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.000 A standout leader. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.400 Downa says, as he watched his speech to the UN 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.880 General Assembly, I thought he stood head and shoulders above 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.959 the hesitant drivel and pole driven cliches of Western ministers 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.680 and leaders, and Alexander Downa writes that if Nettayaho had 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.760 listened to the demands of Biden and kir Starmer, as 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.320 well as the bleeting Australian government, Hermas would. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.959 Still be operating, as would Hesbla. Downa says, what is. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.720 So admirable about Netanyahu is that he defied Biden and 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.240 European leaders and did what he thought was in the 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.720 best interest of his country security, not Western politics. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.160 And that was the strength I saw in person when 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.079 I met Nettiyaho yesterday. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.040 You can see in the photograph he has a large 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.280 map of Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Eastern Europe 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.600 in his office. It's a constant reminder of just how 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:12.720 tiny the. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:13.760 Jewish state is. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.280 We've seen that Nettiya, who is not going to ask 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.880 permission from weakned international leaders to defend his citizens and 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:29.199 inshore Israel's survival. The future of the single Jewish homeland 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.960 in the world now rests squarely on his shoulders. And 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.280 it's why any day now we're expecting Israel to take 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.600 on Iran and not let the evil Aotolas live out 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:47.520 their dream to destroy Israel, and not just Israel, but 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:54.640 all of us in the West. Now, this next story 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.520 is incredible. A young woman is about to tell you 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.360 what it was like after she was taken hostage in Gaza. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.040 Elana Gritzuski was kidnapped by her mass from Kibbutz near 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.520 Us on October seventh, along with her boyfriend Matan, who 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:12.560 sadly is. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.640 Still being held hostage. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.520 Elana details the brutality of her mass and how she 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.079 was deliberately starved, losing eleven kilograms. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.800 Now a warning, this is confronting. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.839 So I picked my dog and I I ran to 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.880 the safe room that is our bethroom. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.280 I wake up in Madame. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.320 I wake up a showered to him and wake up. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.439 There is a lot of alarms. There is no. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.000 Regular talk to your mom and your sister because also 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:06.120 more fucking there is alarms. A few minutes later, we 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:15.120 start listening shootings, a many voices in Arabic, and I 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.680 still saw that they in the group of the keyboods. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.120 They tell that they are our house, our house, our house. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.520 So I was in the seat holding the dog so 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:30.760 he makes no noises, and Madame was holding the door 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:36.560 so they can open it. But they started shooting. So 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.880 they opened the door, but Mattan threw it all the 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:47.600 things that he found close again after he showed me 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.960 open the window, see there is nothing and jump. I 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:56.920 go after you slowly, slowly, hey, I hear the terrorists 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.560 someone they in charge of him pulled me from the 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.120 from the hair again and take me to the motorcycle. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.400 Terrorists in front of me, other terrorists behind me. They 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:17.520 he mean so hard that they broke my hips and 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.080 they put me like a blank in the nylon's lank 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:27.280 on the heads. I can see nothing all the way 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.960 they kicked me, they touched me. In that moment, I 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.080 didn't know what is going to happen to me, that 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.280 I'm going to be raped, IM gonna be kidnapped in 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:39.920 my gonna be killing. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:41.560 Miriam. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.240 How did you as a mother coy knowing that your 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:45.360 daughter was in Gaza. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:52.040 I'm very emotional. I'm a person of it. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.720 So since the first since the day one, what my 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:03.600 friends start praying and they in brain chains. So I said, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.840 the only thing I can do is pray for her. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.160 Well, do you remember waking up? After that? 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:18.000 They wake me up with the with the perfumed and 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.200 the nose, keep me on the face and throw me water. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.920 And they put me from the her again so I 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.080 can wake up from the floor.

It's something you do not 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.920 deserve to anyone. It's like a. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.920 Horror movie, know that when they tell you that it's 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:05.360 kidnapped by a. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:12.359 Mass We also sleep on the floor with h blank 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:20.360 like this. There are a lot of insects and dirty 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:21.680 in all the house. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:23.840 And. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:33.240 Water like a half of litter. I lost the eleven 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:39.280 kilo fifty five days. And then the terrorists in front 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:44.720 turned around to us and told us in inebrio, you 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:45.840 are not going to home. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.200 We are taking you to the tunnels. They must have 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:50.040 been so weak. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:56.240 I weak. I have no shoes, so my feets were 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:01.640 with blood. I can breathe because there was no osygen. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:07.480 My success that he was just playing to things, that 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:14.080 she was safe and a life, or it was better 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.840 not to suffer her and be better. So I told 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:26.680 him I know she's alive. I know because I feel her. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.800 My cell phone brings and they said medium Ilana said 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.040 that list, so I said, please repeat it. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.280 Medium Illinis on the list, So we. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.880 That was a post. The list meant she was going 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:41.960 to be released. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.800 Yes, So I wake up, my son, I wake up, 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.680 and I told everybody Illan is going. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:48.320 To be released. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.440 My only believe that I go now when I see 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.520 the the. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.800 Red the Red Cross, the Red Cross, And what was 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.879 that feeling when you saw the Red Cross? 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:08.359 The feeling was that my body is safely, but my 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.240 soul is going to stay in the tunnels. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.439 Take me to the moment when you finally got to 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.080 wrap her in your arms in the hospital, when she 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:19.760 was free. 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:20.720 Listen and I. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:25.960 Were right through the hospital and we hope we cheese 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:35.600 would try. I bless her, I thank God because she 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:36.560 made the miracle. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.720 We've got beautiful photographs of the ton all around your apartment. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.280 But how does it feel knowing he is still in 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.040 the tunnels after one year? 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:56.359 It's difficult with the empty bed and wake up and 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:04.159 it's the same nightmare. It's continual, But I wake up 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.800 strong because if the hostage can survive a you're there 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.160 and fighting for her life as I need to come 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.360 to wake up all morning to still fighting for them 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.240 so they come home, so they can come home. 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.640 Where does your dough get her strength from. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:27.879 She's very agian and she will after this. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.440 I know she will fight any fight, anything she has 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.440 in front of her, She's. 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:34.879 Going to do it. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:45.639 I'm very proud of her, and that's it that she. 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:51.000 She's amazing, such a beautiful family, and I just love 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.720 spending time with them, so brave with Alana to tell 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.960 us her story. Really amazing young woman. Now being here 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.800 in Jerusalem. Israelis a flamixed by suggestion that there should 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.919 be a ceasefire when terrorist fire rockets every day and 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.679 there are steelers. We've just been hearing one hundred and 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.199 one hostages in Gaza. I discussed this earlier with the 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:18.200 spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel, Iron Mamostin. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:18.960 Have a look. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.240 Thank you so much for your time, really appreciate it. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.320 I've just met with the Israeli Prime Minister, benjaminette Yahu, 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.080 and he made the point that this war isn't just 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:34.680 about fighting for Israel's survival, but for the Middle East 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.400 and Western civilization. Do you think the international community has 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.359 failed to grasp just the significance of this. 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.560 I think the Prime Minister is absolutely right, and I 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:53.359 think perhaps answering your question about the international community, respond, 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.960 I think it's important with all the news pouring in 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:03.400 to remind us or why are we at this point 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:09.000 in time? We never wanted this war. This war was 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:17.280 forced upon us on October seventh, completely unprovoked. Hamas launch 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:23.240 the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Nearly twelve 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:31.000 hundred people were slaughtered, women were raped, families were burned alive. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:40.879 So perhaps international community Western audience have forgotten. We don't 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:42.760 have the luxury to forget. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.760 So many people have been affected here exactly. 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.600 Almost everyone knows someone who has taken hostage or murdered, 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.480 or even now injured or killed in battle. 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.680 The stories are everywhere, but it's not only the stories 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:02.840 that happen on October seven. It's making sure that those 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:09.800 stories won't repeat themselves. We're fighting with one cause to 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:14.359 make sure that October seventh massacre won't happen again and 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.880 to bring our hostages back home. 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.840 There are reports that the hostages are being used by 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.160 ya Ya Sinoa as a form of protection human shields. 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.040 What is the plan to get the hostages to bring 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.639 them home? A year on from October seven. 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:38.320 So there are three objectives to this war. The first 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.720 one is to remove the threat. Like I said, to 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.680 make sure that Hamas has no military and governmental capabilities 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:54.120 to repeat this massacre. The second objective is to make 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:58.240 sure those hostages are back home. And the third objective 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:03.119 is to make sure that the civilians, the people living 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.359 in the northern part of Israel, can go back to 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:09.800 their home. And the plan is to put as much 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.560 as pressure on Hamas to make sure that there is 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:18.600 no ceasefire without the release of hostages. 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:23.640 Well, turning to Hasbela, we have seen incredible success by 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.840 Israel in dismantling the Hasbela leadership. 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.160 Can you do the same in Gaza with Sinowa? 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.679 You know you mentioned his Bala. And again this is 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:37.640 important because sometimes people are asking why now Lebanon, Why 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:43.879 now Chris Bala. Again, it's important to remember why we're 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:48.200 here at this point in time. On October eighth, just 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:54.000 a day after the massacre, again completely unprovoked, His Bala 0:23:54.080 --> 0:24:00.919 attacked Israel with thousands of rockets. Doesn't Israelise were killed, 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:06.320 were murdered by Isabella, including twelve children who were murdered 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:12.840 while they were playing soccer, and sixty thousand Israelis were 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:16.840 forced to be evacuated from their homes. So we're doing 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.760 what every country would do for its people. We're trying 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.840 to protect the Sevinians, We're trying to protect the families. 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:28.200 In your role, you'd come across a lot of international 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.760 journalists and media outlets. Do you have a comment on 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.800 the extent of the anti Israel bias that we see 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.800 in the mainstream press narrative. 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:43.440 I think sometimes when it comes to the media, there 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:48.840 is a tendency to have a very short memory, just 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.239 to look at what's happening right now and not to 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:57.480 look at the big picture. And the big picture for 0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.119 us israelis is the day to day picture is that 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:05.200 we are being attacked and we're trying to protect our families. 0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:07.840 Let me be personal for a second, Like I said, 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:12.840 I have two daughters, one in the age of eleven 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.800 and the other is in the age of eight. Last 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:23.040 week they were rushed into shelter because Iran, which of 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:28.000 course is masterminding this attack of Ramas of Rizbala and 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:33.119 directly attacking Israel, launched more than one hundred and eighty 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:38.360 ballistic missiles on Israel. Think of of Canberra being attacked 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:43.240 with more than one hundred eight missiles incomprehensible, truly. So 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:46.719 you know, at the end of the day, there are 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:50.240 people in the story, and this is what we're trying 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:54.760 to do. We're trying to live peaceful life. We didn't 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.440 want this war, but now that it is forced on us, 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:01.879 we are forced to it because we don't have another 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.760 earlier choice. And this is, by the way, the reason 0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.000 why we'll win, because there is no other choice for 0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.119 the people in Israel. If we'll lose, we'll die. 0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:13.920 Yeah, no room for failure. I really appreciate your time. 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:15.840 Thank you very much, Jennie, Thank you. 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:18.480 Well. 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.800 Still plenty more to come, and dawning allegations against Deputy 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.119 Prime Minister Richard Miles from one of the government's most 0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:29.240 senior female advisors. I'll discuss that with my panel back 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:33.719 in Australia shortly. Plus the truth about Hermas's rape and 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.040 sexual violence against young women and why the world wants 0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:38.800 to deny it. 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:45.840 That's after this quick break. Welcome back. 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:46.040 Well. 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.560 From the minute the world began to learn of the 0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:52.639 tragic events on October seven, there were horrific stories of 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:58.840 women being raped, sexually assaulted, and even violently mutilated by Hermas. 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:01.800 These were reports that came from people on the ground, 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:06.040 and I've spoken to several of these witnesses myself, Yet 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:09.600 no one took the account seriously until the UN Special 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:14.240 Representative on Sexual Violence and Conflict confirmed there was reasonable 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.440
