 So what is going on in the one in Israeli Hamas war because I wish, you know, I wish it became over war. I mean everything I predicted. Many of you made fun of me, maybe many of you ridiculed my views, many of you said no, no, no, you know, Netanyahu's a good guy, he's powerful, he's, but the reality is as I predicted Netanyahu's slow, he's not reacting. The ground invasion has been delayed almost three weeks. It'll be three weeks on Saturday. The world has decidedly turned against Israel. And you've got, you've got even the United States and other countries calling for ceasefire, ceasefire so that humanitarian aid can enter. The whole point of this is to penalize the Palestinians. There shouldn't be any humanitarian aid entered. They should suffer the consequences of supporting Hamas. They should suffer the consequences of the ideology that they support and the political entity that they have chosen to lead them and supported in leading them. But no, the world wants humanitarian aid. The world wants peace negotiations. The world wants a ceasefire. I mean in the week after the world was with Israel, the world would have tolerated a lot. All of that is gone. That goodwill is gone. That sense of this is self-defense is gone. Now it's just going to be Israel victimizing the Palestinians. So Israel's waiting. Why is it waiting? It's waiting because the United States wants it to wait because they're negotiating for prisoner release and the Israelis are negotiating for prisoner release through the Qataris and who are, of course, host Hamas. So they're in a position to negotiate. We'll get to that in a minute. But it's a travesty. I told you from day one Israel should function as if the hostages are dead. It should do whatever it can to save them militarily. No, you know chapter, I don't know, chapter one, chapter two, chapter three of Benjamin Netanyahu's book on terrorism. Never negotiate with terrorism. I think that's just chapter heading. Never negotiate with terrorism. All he's done as a prime minister is negotiate with terrorists. So nothing's really happening. It turns out that even within the Israeli government there is a massive conflict between Netanyahu, his defense minister and Gantz, General Gantz, who joined the coalition and is in the war cabinet. They believe, they believe the week ago that Israel should enter Gaza by land. Netanyahu insists Israel's not ready and needs to wait. Again, so one reason to wait is the Americans. Hostage negotiations. Second reason to wait, Americans. They're moving more, you know, missile defense systems into the Middle East to provide cover for Israel and for the American bases. And they want Israel to wait before the ground offensive, before they have the Patriot missiles and the other types of missiles in place. And then Netanyahu believes that the IDF, the Israeli military, is not ready yet to enter Gaza. They need more time. They need more planning. The IDF thinks they're ready. The defense minister thinks they're ready. Former commanders of the Israeli military, Gantz thinks they're ready. But Netanyahu, the coward, I think we should just call him the coward, insists they're not. Delay, delay, delay, delay. Morale is dropping. Morale, which in the days after the horrors of October 7th was, you know, these Israeli soldiers were ready. They were ready to go in, ready to do what's necessary, committed, focused. Morale is low because they expect it to be in already. And I think what's happening with this time, and I think this has always been the case with Netanyahu, in spite of the talk, we're going to destroy Hamas. We're going to uproot it. We're going to change the framework of the Middle East. This is what you remember for generations. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Of course it's Netanyahu holding it back. Stop defending Netanyahu. He's always been a coward and he still is a coward. He's been a terrible prime minister for Israel. Maybe it's worst ever. And he continues to be that. He is a coward, if only because he won't stand up to the United States. But it's not the United States holding it back. Every indication from every publication I read, Outcoming Out of Israel, suggests that the military and the defense minister wanted to go in a week ago and it is Netanyahu who is stopping them. And look, I told you day one, day two. I told you that this would not happen fast. I told you it should happen fast, but it would not happen fast. This is before the United States. I just know Netanyahu. So you can, it's like Trump fever. When people love Netanyahu and love Trump, they'll justify anything they do. He's playing for deep chess with Hamas. Anyway, Israel today did what's called a deep excursion into Gaza in a particular area in the north. They seem to be setting the ground for an ultimately ground invasion into the Gaza. The clearing trails for the tanks and for the personnel carriers. And I think that probably in the next two to three days, you'll see a significant military incursion into the Gaza Strip. Will it be significant and robust enough to wipe out Hamas? I doubt it. I think that before that goal is achieved, Netanyahu and the Israeli cabinet will agree to some kind of ceasefire, will agree to some kind of compromise. Will Israel destroy Hamas? Will they kill the political leaders in Qatar? Will they do everything that's necessary? I still think the answer is no. And believe me, it really, really, really saddens me to say so. I've been arguing that this was the action necessary for 20 years, 20 years. And I've got videos to prove it, right? You can go see my 2003 talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And they continue to do what I expect them to do and to disappoint me. They continue to kick the can down the road, continue not to do what is necessary. Now, part of the compromise is that Israel has agreed not to preemptively strike the Hezbollah in Lebanon. I also told you in the first few days that Israel had a window of opportunity to take the strategic high ground, take an element of surprise if you will, and crush, crush the Hezbollah and the Iranians in Syria, as well as poking them. Poking. Bombs here, bombs there, artillery fire here, artillery fire there, kill a few people here, kill a few people there, all command, all Hezbollah members, poking holes in the airport in Aleppo and the airport in Damascus and the Iranians can't resupply Hezbollah. How long is that going to work for? Total destruction is what Israel should inflict on Hezbollah and inflict on any Iranian and Hezbollah troops in Syria and Lebanon. But it won't. And again, the Americans have asked it not to. And by the way, the American military, those really, really smart guys who've won every war since World War II, I mean they've won them all. They're so good. The military is skeptical about Israel's ability to fight a two-front war. I am not skeptical about their ability. And I doubt the Americans know what they're talking about.
