Gaza Military “Pause”, Escalation in the North Inflame Divisions in Israel | JLMinute

A pause in IDF operations in Gaza has angered portions of the Israeli public and government ministers after 11 soldiers were killed over the weekend. The move was made to help facilitate humanitarian aid to the Gazan population. Meanwhile, full-scale war seems imminent as Hezbollah continues to cause widespread damage and forest fires in northern Israel.

Will the US port in Gaza deliver ‘aid’ into the hands of Hamas?

Wartime Questions

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Eve Harow joins Josh Hasten to discuss the latest from the war-front and to ask questions: Why is Israel sending humanitarian aid to her enemies during times of war? Why haven’t any Arab or Muslim nations stepped up to take in their brethren from Gaza, as countries normally step up to assist those affected? Will enough clans in Gaza turn against Hamas, now that they see Hamas stealing food, water, fuel etc. for themselves? These questions and many more on today’s podcast.

The Potential Lessons of the Terror Tunnel Discovery

The IDF on Sunday displayed videos of a massive Hamas terror tunnel it discovered near the Erez Crossing, just 400 meters away from Israeli territory. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Erez, which has been used as the only pedestrian entryway from Gaza to Israel, should be shut down. The Oct. 7 attacks taught us that terrorists in Gaza took advantage of Israel’s humanitarian gestures – allowing Gazans to receive medical care in our hospitals, and also took advantage of work permits in Israel – to feed Hamas intelligence, which ultimately was used against us. Israel used Erez to show kindness and provide livelihoods, while Hamas used Erez to launch attacks. Have we learned our lesson?
