A group of 80 orthodox rabbis have written letters to the Israeli government urging the prevention of “mass starvation” in Gaza. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says the only thing the rabbis have achieved is spreading the “hunger campaign” PR lies of Hamas. At the same time, the group also lashed out against “settler violence,” once again falling for Hamas/PA lies targeting the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. Perhaps the rabbis wrote the letters to clear their own consciences, however in doing so, they have caused immeasurable harm to the State of Israel.

Israel Headed to Gaza City?
Israel’s security cabinet has approved a military operation in which the IDF would enter Gaza City and surrounding villages – Hamas’ final stronghold. According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, the goal of the mission is to free Gaza from Hamas, bring home the hostages, erect a security barrier, and create a civil administration in order to oversee Gaza long-term.
However, a coalition crisis might be looming as Minister Betzalel Smotrich believes Israel must annex Gaza, and administer its control in order to achieve a total victory.
This story and much more on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
Euro Nations Reward Hamas for October 7
The Hamas terrorist organization is grateful for France, the U.K. and Canada, by rewarding them for carrying out the October 7 massacre by stating they will recognize a “Palestinian State.” As a senior Hamas official told Al-Jazeera: “The initiative by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state is one of the fruits of October 7. We proved that victory over Israel is not impossible, and our weapons are a symbol of Palestinian dignity.” On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten chastises those countries for lacking moral clarity and embolding Hamas through their declarations. Also, a step in the right direction as 4,000 Israelis visit the Temple Mount on Tisha Be’av. Josh says it’s significant for Jews to understand that the fight against evil – Hamas and their friends, isn’t a battle of territory, but a clash of civilizations with Jerusalem at its center. Hamas understands this, and now more and more Jews are waking up to this reality.
Olmert Calls “Humanitarian Zone” a “Concentration Camp”
In a Guardian interview, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said a planned humanitarian zone in southern Gaza would be a “concentration camp” for Gaza’s Arabs. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Olmert disgraces the suffering of Jews in the Holocaust who were placed in actual concentration camps before their murder. Hasten says that in reality, Israel aims to create humanitarian zones, sterile of Hamas, for hundreds of thousands of Gazans, thus protecting them away from the front lines. He says that Olmert’s wording does tremendous damage to those fighting for Israel in the public diplomacy arena.

Israel to Intensify Gaza Offensive
Israel’s security cabinet has approved the intensification of its Gaza military operation per the recommendation of IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Per reports Israel will increase its strikes on Hamas, while holding on to territories seized, so that the terrorist organization can not pop its head up in those areas once again. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the move will lead towards the defeat of Hamas and the rescue of the remaining hostages. This story, and all the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
Are we seeing the beginning of voluntary Gaza emigration?
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?

Will Israel Seize Territory in Gaza?
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.
U.S. Launches Military Campaign Against the Houthis
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.

Will the U.S. Attack Iran?
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.
Haunting Hostage Images
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.
