 Ceasefire is over. As we all know, Israel continues military operations throughout the weekend. This morning, Israel is both, the Israeli military is both completing, let's say, its mission in the north of Gaza, not so much mopping up operations, but taking over pockets of areas where they have not entered yet, and eliminating Hamas fighters in those areas as well as discovering more tunnels, blowing that up. So there is continuing operations on the ground in the north. Some of it mopping up, much of it is now going into areas that they haven't gone before and doing the kind of, you know, slow work of just getting rid of any element of Hamas in the area and discovering every tunnel shaft, there are 800 tunnel shafts so far they've destroyed 500, discovering the rest of them, you know, and doing just the grinding work necessary to basically eliminate the Hamas in the north. In the south of Gaza, where many of the people who lived or most of the people who lived in the north have been evacuated to, Israel is now in the midst of launching a, both an aerial bombardment of Khan Yunus, Khan Yunus in Rafa, Khan Yunus is the largest city town outside of Gaza City. It is the largest in the south, again, a bastion of Hamas, but then the whole Gaza Strip is. In Israel, it was asking residents of Khan Yunus to leave Khan Yunus. It has been for weeks now, for a couple of weeks, and it has been bombing the area since the end of the ceasefire, and this morning reports are the tanks entering Khan Yunus, so Israeli ground operation in the area are starting. As we've talked about, the whole ground operations in the south are going to be very difficult because of the number of civilian civilians there. This is where all the civilians in the north that evacuated to. Massive pressure from the United States to minimize civilian casualties, massive pressure for the United States to resume ceasefire negotiations, massive pressure for the United States to stand down, Biden, it feels the pressure from his left, but it was always going to be the case that this would happen. The U.S. will not tolerate complete Israeli victory. They never have, and I don't know if they ever will, but Israel so far is ignoring those requests and moving forward with the operations. I give them credit for doing what they said they would do, you know, and again, we should, my guess is within a week or so the north will be completely under Israeli control. There'll still be pockets, there'll still be terrorists coming out of tunnels and holes in the ground to attack Israeli troops, so basically the north will be under Israel's control. Khan Yunus is not going to be easy, none of this is easy, and Israel will keep moving into the south in aggressive fashion. So that is kind of, that's the update from the ground, you know, a few things to add to that just in terms of what is going on again. Israel's ordered these evacuation, everybody's complaining where we supposed to evacuate from, as Hamas is really the answer, as Hamas were supposed to evacuate from. They're the ones who started this, they're the ones who got you into this mess, Hamas should provide, maybe they can open up the tunnels and you can go hide in the tunnels, maybe they can negotiate a deal with Egypt so the civilians can move into Egypt. Everything's on the table, but it's Hamas's problem, not Israel's problem. Israel is there to defeat Hamas and to bring Gaza to heel and to teach the Gazans a lesson. You support Hamas, you support terrorism, you support the idea of the annihilation of the state of Israel. Well that ain't happening guys, ain't happening, never will happen and you will suffer the consequence of this support, and the more you support it the more you will suffer. And so I mean this idea that this war, I've said this before, this is a war against Hamas is wrong, this is a war against Gaza, it's a war against the Palestinians as it should be, and it should be defined that way, the Israelis are again weaklings for not saying that, for not claiming that, for not arguing that. It's a word to destroy Hamas, not to destroy the Palestinians, but it is a war against the Palestinians and that is to bring the Palestinians to heel, to their knees, to a full understanding of the consequence of initiating force against Israel. You know there continues to be attacks on Israel from the north, Israel keeps responding to those attacks very much on the, if you will, Israel is not taking initiative with the Gaza Stochis Bala in the north, it is much more in a reactive mode. One area where Israel has not been even in a reactive mode, that is with regard to Yemen, Yemen is now, the Houthis in Yemen are now actively trying to block and disrupt shipping in the Red Sea, going into the Indian Ocean. Over the weekend they attack three commercial ships with missiles, one of them might be damaged the extent of maybe sinking. They also launched drones which the US knocked out of the air, but what is truly astounding here is neither the US nor Israel has done anything in response to this. There's been no significant response in terms of Israel engaging with the Houthis, in terms of bombing them, in terms of using Israel's ground to ground missile capabilities or air force to go to Yemen and destroy these forces which Israel has the capacity at least to damage them significantly from the air. Of course the US has significant military forces there, it has destroyers there and the US is doing nothing to stop this. The US is letting the Houthis basically disrupt the shipping lanes and defaulting on its responsibility. I think the US Navy's responsibility to keep the shipping lanes open in the world, it wouldn't take much from the US to engage here, but it has chosen so far to do nothing just as it has chosen to do very little. Every time its bases are attacked in the Middle East by Iranian affiliated groups, so far the United States has done very, very, very little and certainly has not taken this to its source, which is Iran. Of course the Houthis do not respond and do not act without Iran's support, without Iran's sanction. They wouldn't be disrupting these shipping lanes without Iran's sanction. And again, nothing will change in the Middle East. Nothing will change in the Middle East as long as the current regime in Iran is allowed to survive. This has been true for 40 years. This is the number one enemy of the United States and of Israel in the area. It was never Iraq, it wasn't even that much Afghanistan. This is the real enemy, always has been. And until the United States does something to bring that regime, to crush that regime, nothing is going to change. And the United States and Israel is willing to tolerate the Houthis and other Iranian affiliated groups in the Middle East attacking Israeli US and international assets. It's only going to make things worse, not going to make things better. Let's hope the United States wakes up. Israel is distracted right now, but let's hope the United States wakes up. My assumption is that the US basically told Israel to stand down and not to go after Iran or to go after the Houthis and that it would take care of it, not doing a very good job of taking care of it, right?
