1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: All right, guys, huge breaking news this morning out of

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: the nation of Israel, thousands of rockets launched by Hamas

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: militants in the largest scale attacks in fifty years since

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: the yan Kapur War. Prime Minister Benjamin and Nyahu calling

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: this a war, saying clearly to his nation that we

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: are at war. I'm gonna break down for you everything

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: we know this morning. This is obviously a very fast

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: moving situation with huge implications in terms of the human

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: beings that are involved, in terms of domestic politics in Israel.

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: A lot of context here in terms of the history

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: what might happen moving forward, and also massive geopolitical ramifications

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: as well. In addition, will be monitoring this obviously throughout

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: the weekend and on Monday, we will have complete coverage

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: for you on breaking points. Okay, So, as of now,

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: here is what we know. Hamas militants out of the

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Gaza Strip have launched thousands of rockets, somewhere between two

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: and five thousand rockets into Israeli territory. Terms of casualties,

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: so far, we know there are hundreds of Israelis injured,

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: somewhere around two dozen Israelis killed. Of course, those numbers

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: will continue to be updated. In addition to that, you

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: had armed militants which were able to seize control of

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: several southern Israeli towns. You had some assaults that appears

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: by both air and sea. We've seen reports of ships

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: coming in as part of a sort of invading force.

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: We've also seen hang gliders being used reportedly by militants.

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: So one of the top takeaways here immediately, in addition

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to the shock of this is just what an incredibly

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: massive intelligence and security failure this has been for Netanyahuo's

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: basically whole government is its argument in case for its existence,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: which has been under siege, is security. If you have

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: me in place, you'll be safe. So that they were

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: able to launch this attack of this incredibly multifaceted, faceted,

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: sophisticated major obviously in the word works for months in advance,

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: likely with outside support, without the knowledge of Masad or

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: the IDF. It's hard to put into words how stunning

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: that is to everybody, and certainly to Israeli people. Let

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: me give you a sense of what Netnya who has said.

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: He issued an immediate statement saying we are at war.

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: He's since updated with additional comments reading here, he says,

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: since this morning, the State of Israel has been at war.

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Our first objective is to clear out the hostile forces

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: that infiltrated our territory and restore the security and quiet

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: to the communities that have been attacked. The second objective,

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: at the same time is to exact an immense price

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: from the enemy within the Gaza strip as well. The

46
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: third objective is to reinforce other fronts so that nobody

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: should mistakenly join this war. We are at war. In war,

48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: one needs to be level headed. I call on all

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: citizens of Israel to unite in order to achieve our

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: highest goal, victory in the war. In terms of the

51
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: history here, as I mentioned broadest attacks in fifty years,

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: coming almost exactly on the anniversary of that Yan Kapoor war,

53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: that history and that timing appears to be no accident.

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: In the Yang Kapor War, Israel caught off guard by

55
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: attacks from a coalition of Arab states, and although they

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: were ultimately obviously victorious, Israel was. The fear that was

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: stoked by that war has helped to justify this massive

58
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: security and surveillance state, helped to justify the apartheid and

59
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: outright at times genocidal conditions imposed upon the Palestinian people,

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: so that historical timing not lost on anyone and certainly

61
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: not an accident here. In addition to the attacks that

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: we showed you, we can also show you some footage

63
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: of bulldozers being used to take down part of the

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: wall that has been used to keep Gaza effectively an

65
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: open air prison. And as I mentioned, you know, huge

66
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: already human suffering caused by these attacks, which were indiscriminate

67
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and included civilians who have been killed, hundreds of Israeli

68
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: citizens injured, dozens it appears killed. Continue to watch those

69
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: numbers as they change. And in addition to that, and

70
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: this piece is actually quite quite significant, the militants have

71
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: taken dozens of Israeli's hostage as well. Certainly, the idea

72
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: here is to gain some leverage with regard to whatever

73
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: the Israeli response is going to be. We know in

74
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the past Israeli responses have been incredibly heavy handed and

75
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: just absolutely brutal in terms of the civilian carnage. So

76
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they have Israeli hostages is going to

77
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: complicate that response and lead to you know, they expect

78
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: and they're hoping to use these hostages of some sort

79
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: of leverage in future negotiations. I will also talk a

80
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: little bit about the Israeli domestic and political context here.

81
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: We should keep it These attacks don't come out of nowhere.

82
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: There's been a rapidly escalating levels of violence perpetrated both

83
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: by the Israeli government and also by Jewish settlers against

84
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: Palestinians and retaliation in exchange. We also have and part

85
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: of why this is so significant domestically, NETANYAHUO has been

86
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: under massive fire for aggressive attacks on the independent Judiciary

87
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: and the State Supreme Court in particular. Those have been nationwide,

88
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: They've been widespread, They've included members of the IDF, So

89
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: he's really been under domestic political siege in addition of

90
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: facing corruption charges. And as I said, you know, his

91
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: whole argument for being there, and this is the most

92
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: right wing government that Israel has ever had, including some

93
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: ministers who have out and out expressed genocidal views and

94
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: desires towards the Palestinian people, and his whole justification for

95
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: his government's existence is I will keep you safe. So

96
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to have this level of attack, coordinated sophisticated air land

97
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: sea plan for months effectively executed. You know, that is

98
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: a blow to the core of his case for being

99
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: in power. I have no doubt you heard the tough

100
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: words there. In terms of his plans going forward, I

101
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: have no doubt it will elicit a brutal, you know,

102
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: extreme approach as we have seen in the past, very

103
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: heavy handed. You know, I have no idea. I can

104
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: only imagine what this is going to mean for ordinary

105
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Gaza civilians going forward. So you have, you know, that

106
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: piece in terms of the domestic and just what a

107
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: massive security failure this is. I just don't think that

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: that can possibly be understated. You know, you also have

109
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: huge geopolitical ramifications already fingers being pointed at Iran. Is

110
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: there going to be an Israeli response directly at at Iran?

111
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: So that's one piece to watch. The other thing that

112
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: perhaps led to or contributed to this series of attacks

113
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: is you had the US directly involved in helping to

114
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: attempt to broke or some sort of deal with Saudi

115
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. It's something that Palestinians

116
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: have been very upset about. So what will these attacks

117
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: mean for those negotiations moving forward? There's a lot of

118
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: unanswered questions right now, and of course, you know, the

119
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: most important piece here is what it's going to mean

120
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: for ordinary civilians who are caught up in this, in

121
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: this monstrosity, you know, both the ordinary Israelis who have

122
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: been attacked or taken hostage, but you just know this

123
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: response is going to be absolutely brutal from the Israeli side.

124
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: So there's going to be a lot for us to

125
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: watch here and keep an eye on in terms of reaction,

126
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: in terms of continued response from Hamas, in terms of

127
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: what happens with these hostages, in terms of what happens

128
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: with the geopolitical situation. Obviously, you know we're incredibly close

129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: allies of Aroun here in the United States, funding much

130
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: of their defense infrastructure, so lots to watch. Will continue

131
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on it and keep you guys

132
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: updated as things unfold, And as I said, we'll have full, breaking,

133
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: complete coverage for you on Monday. We're already working on

134
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: getting that show together so that we can have this

135
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: covered covered from all aspects. Thanks so guys, so much,

136
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: guys for supporting the show, and we'll see you all soon.
