Reports indicate that 100 Arabs from Gaza are headed to Indonesia for employment on a voluntary migration pilot program. At the same time Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed the Mossad to identify countries willing to take in a large number of Gazans who wish to flee the frontlines of the war. Is President Trump’s plan for the “day after” in Gaza taking shape?
This story and all the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
During a speech at the Knesset today, PM Netanyahu said that Israel would put more and more pressure on Hamas to release the hostages, including seizing territory. Defense Minister Israel Katz made similar statements several days ago. This comes as hundreds of Gazans took to the streets on Tuesday urging Hamas to step down and end the war. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten said that if Israel had cut off aid, electricity, and water, to Gaza on October 8, 2023, perhaps the protests would have started then, and Hamas could have been forced from power from within.

Since the beginning of the “Swords of Iron” war sparked by the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, and “Operation Northern Arrows” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, IDF reservists have been serving on the frontlines, away from their homes and families for months at a time in defense of the nation.
The Trump Administration over the weekend launched a large-scale military operation targeting the Yemen-based and Iran-backed Houthi terrorist organization. President Trump said the campaign was in response to the Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea. “They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” said President Trump, while criticizing what he called “pathetically weak” responses towards the Houthis by the Biden Administration. The Houthis claim they have responded by firing missiles and drones, targeting U.S. war ships. It remains to be seen whether the Houthis will also try to attack Israel, as a response.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, media reports have indicated that U.S. President Trump is considering a strike against Iran’s nuclear sites. The President last week said he prefers negotiating a deal with the mullahs in Tehran, but has not ruled out the military option, should Iran cross the nuclear threshold.
At the same time, the Trump administration has in fact been holding direct negotiations with Hamas, surrounding the current ceasefire, and hostage crisis. Despite media reports, Israel says there is no daylight between our government, and the U.S. administration over the situation in Gaza. These stories and much more, on today’s episode.
All signs indicate that Israel is headed back to war against Hamas in Gaza. Phase 1 of the ceasefire agreement has come to a conclusion, and Hamas has rejected an extension. Prime Minister Netanyahu has suspended aid to Gaza for now, while Hamas is refusing to release the hostages. Israeli troops are now preparing for what comes next.

(Feb. 26, 2025 / JNS) At the end of last week, a resolution was passed during an international summit on the sidelines of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, calling on the United States and its allies to recognize Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how difficult this week was, as Israelis learned the fate of the Bibas family – Shiri and her children Ariel and Kfir HY”D, who were brutally murdered by Gazan terrorists after being abducted on October 7, 2023. The bodies of the children were returned in a grotesque ceremony, while Hamas continued their psychological terrorism, replacing Shiri’s body with that of a random woman from Gaza. Shiri’s body was eventually given back. May G-d avenge their blood, and of all of those murdered by pure evil.
