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.
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. This story and all the latest news from Israel on this week’ Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
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.
Three more Israeli hostages were released this week, despite calls from President Trump to release them all. Did Israel cave to Hamas, by not insisting on a full hostage release? In addition, IDF troops were sent south indicating that Israel would perhaps restart the war in Gaza. Is Israel headed for phase two of the ceasefire, or back into battle? These questions and all the latest news, on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
Three more Israeli hostages – Or Levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 52, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, were released from Hamas captivity over the weekend. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says it was painful to see the three emaciated Jews come home, clearly starved by Hamas – modern day Nazis, after over 480 days in captivity. After seeing how the three were mistreated, Josh can’t wrap his head around the fact that all this time, Israel was providing Gaza, an enemy population, with humanitarian aid, which clearly wasn’t being distributed to our hostages.
After a one day delay for failing to uphold their end of the terrorist for Israeli hostage deal, Gazans this morning started heading north, as Israeli troops cleared a path via the Netzarim corridor. This Thursday, three more Israeli hostages will be freed including Arbel Yehud and Agam Berger, with another three to be released on Saturday. Israelis continue to celebrate for now as the hostages are freed, but in the back of the minds of many – the 1,900 Arab terrorists who have started to re-enter into society, both in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and Jerusalem. This story, plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses Israel’s most recent hostage negotiations, to free the remaining 100 Israelis being held by the Hamas terrorist regime in Gaza. U.S. President Elect Donald Trump has once again sent a warning that there will be “hell to pay” if Hamas doesn’t release the hostages by his January 20 inauguration. Josh says he is optimistic about the incoming U.S. administration, but at the same time, Israel must first and foremost implement the necessary policies which ensure its safety and well-being.
