The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant this week. This is the first time the court has ever targeted leaders from a democratic country. PM Netanyahu responded saying: “The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way. It is falsely accusing me, the democratically elected prime minister of the State of Israel and Israel’s former defense minister Yoav Gallant, of deliberately targeting civilians, this when we do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties.” Netanyahu and Gallant might have to avoid visiting certain countries in Europe and Canada as a result of the decision. It is believed that once President Trump is in office, he will target the ICC for their unjust and illegitimate ruling. This story and much more news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
President Trump
Trump Victory Brings Hope
US President-elect Donald Trump says that his goal is to end wars, and not start them. However, as opposed to the Biden Administration which has pressured Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, President Trump says his “end” to the war would mean a 100% Israeli victory. Prime Minister Netanyahu has already spoken to President Trump several times this week, and says that they are on the same page when it comes to the Iranian threat. Reports indicate Trump is prepared to reassert pressure on Iran – the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. The times are certainly changing. This story, and all the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
Prayer for America: Israelis appeal for a strong US

The American People Stand With Israel
Even as the Biden Administration threatens that Israel is on the verge of losing international support due to its “conservative” government, a recent poll shows that over 80% of the American people stand with Israel in its war to eradicate Hamas. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how despite the weekly attempts by the U.S. president to overturn all of the pro-Israel gestures implemented under President Trump – this week it was Secretary of State Blinken stating that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal under international law, the American people are not being fooled. They continue to maintain their moral clarity when it comes to the Jewish State.
Optimistic about Applying Sovereignty
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an interview with well-known educator Rabbi Uri Pilichowski from Mitzpe Yericho. Pilichowski and a group of leaders from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria released a statement this week encouraging Israel to move forward with the application of sovereignty despite reservations about the Trump administration’s “deal of the century.” The group stressed that they feel President Trump and his team are the best friends Israel has ever had in the White House, and therefore Israelis should be grateful for their support.
