Outlines
🏳️🚩 Disparity Between Israeli Military and Political Stance on Hamas
The first paragraph discusses the ongoing conflict in Gaza, highlighting the Israeli government's stated goal of eliminating Hamas, which is contradicted by the Israeli military's acknowledgment that such a task is impossible. The military spokesperson emphasizes that Hamas is an idea deeply rooted in the people, suggesting that the public is being misled by political rhetoric. The paragraph also touches on the internal divisions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the military, particularly regarding the handling of the situation in Rafah and the broader strategy for post-war Gaza. The potential for a second front opening with Hezbollah in Lebanon adds another layer of complexity to the situation, with the US expressing concern and sending a special envoy to the region to call for de-escalation.
🌍 Netanyahu's Provocative Actions and Regional Tensions
The second paragraph delves into the potential motivations behind Netanyahu's actions, suggesting a strategy to prolong the conflict and maintain US interest, which is risky and dangerous. It contrasts the lack of appetite for war in Lebanon with Netanyahu's provocative moves, such as targeting senior Hezbollah commanders, which could potentially draw out the war. The paragraph also mentions the killing of Iranian commanders in Syria by Israel, which led to retaliatory attacks from Iran. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Allison Lrange's introduction to a news segment focusing on Africa, indicating a shift in the global news focus.

Transcripts
speaking of which let's turn to the war
in Gaza it's been almost 9 months now in
this time Israel's position has been the
same we want to destroy the Hamas that's
what they've said throughout we want to
eliminate this group completely but
Israel's Army says that's impossible
look at what an army spokesperson said
and I'm quoting this business of
destroying Hamas it's simply throwing
sand in the eyes of the public Hamas is
an idea Hamas is a party it's rooted in
the hearts of the people whoever thinks
we can eliminate Hamas is
wrong now this is a big statement
Israel's Army says you cannot destroy
Hamas it's impossible but that's not
what Benin Nan has been saying he kept
telling the world that Israel would
destroy Hamas not once not twice but
multiple times listen to
this the elimination of Hamas is a
necessary step to ensure that the day
after there will be no element in Gaza
that threatens
us we spoke about recent developments in
the war including Israel's commitment to
achieving all of the war's objectives
eliminating
Hamas to win this
war We Must Destroy the remaining Hamas
battalions in
Rafa the necessary goal of the war is
first of all the elimination of Hamas
we will continue to fight until all the
objectives of the war are achieved and
the priority is the elimination of
homas so who should we trust the Israeli
military or the Israeli Prime Minister
as expected the statement has triggered
a controversy netanyahu's office has
commented on it they reiterated Israel's
official War goal to destroy Hamas the
military also released a clarification
they said that the spokesperson was
talking about the 's ideology and not
the
group but I'm afraid that the damage is
done the public spat has confirmed the
obvious there are divisions between
Netanyahu and his military we saw that
earlier this week too Israel's military
announced a tactical pause in Rafa again
Netanyahu was not happy he was totally
opposed to any pause in fighting before
that the defense minister rebelled he
asked Netanyahu to plan for post-war
Gaza again the Prime Minister refused
and all of these developments confirm
the divisions but the question is what
has caused it there are three main
reasons the first one is tactical
Netanyahu wants his army to defeat Hamas
in Rafa but what comes after that who
will govern the Gaza Strip without a
plan Israel could face insurgencies and
the Army is not keen on that they would
like some clarity on the next step the
second reason is Military Support mainly
from the US nany's policy has already
enrage Washington they have withheld one
shipment of
bombs but what if more shipments are
paused Israel's Army may run out of fire
power which brings us to the third
reason a second front in this war at
this rate we cannot rule it out Israel
and hisbah are regularly exchanging fire
hisbah and
Lebanon last week Israel took out a
senior hisbah commander in response they
fired rockets at Northern Israel it's a
very dangerous situation on Wednesday
Israel's Army released operational
footage it shows them striking seven
Targets in Lebanon take a look at
this the hisbah says it's ready for war
and it's not just threatening Israel it
is threatening Cyprus
too now Cyprus is an island on the west
of Lebanon it has a defense agreement
with Israel both sides have held join
drills in the past Cyprus has also
allowed Israel to use its airports but
all of that was during peace time not in
the middle of a war nonetheless hisbah
is not taking any chances they're
warning Cyprus
to if the war is imposed on Lebanon the
resistance will fight without control
without rules and without a ceiling
Cyprus should be warned that opening
cypriate bases and airports to the
Israelis to Target Lebanon means that
the cypriot government has become part
of the war and the resistance will deal
with Cyprus as if it is part of the
war Cyprus has denied these claims they
say no Military Support is being given
to Israel but how serious is the hisbah
threat well the US is really concerned
this week Joe Biden sent a special Envoy
to West Asia in beut he met lebanon's
primee Parliament
speaker who is an ally of his of hisbah
the US official called for deescalation
at the
border but the problem seems to be
Netanyahu hisbah could have intervened
any time in the last 9 months but they
did not and what does that tell you
there is no appetite for war in Lebanon
not unless Israel escalates and that's
where Nan's actions are worrying
consider what he did with Iran the
regime in thran was watching from the
sidelines but Israel killed their top
commanders in Syria that's when Iran
attacked Israel and now Netanyahu is
going after senior hisbah commanders
again the same agenda to draw out this
war and to keep the Americans interested
it's a very risky and dangerous strategy
but then again that's been netanyahu's
game plan
