Lapid’s Misguided Gaza Strategy
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid laid out his strategy for the future of Gaza at a conference on terrorism yesterday. His plan – to defeat Hamas through economic improvements and through diplomacy. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that Lapid has it completely backwards. Instead of easing conditions in Gaza, which the residents there would then credit Hamas for accomplishing, Israel should create a reality in which Gazans want to see the terror group Hamas dethroned and out of their lives completely. This story plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.
Agreement Reached on Qatari Funding for Gaza
Israeli media outlets reported this week that Qatar and the Palestinian Authority have reached an agreement which would allow for Qatari funds to reach Gaza. The money is supposed to go towards the needy in the Hamas-run enclave in addition to Hamas’ “administration officials.” On today’s edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that no doubt some of that funding will be used by Hamas to further their terror agenda against the Jewish State.

Comparing Kindergartens to Terrorism
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, the US State Department Spokesman called on Israel the other day to refrain from building in Judea and Samaria and in the same breath called on the PA to stop paying the salaries of terrorists. Can a comparison really be made between the construction of new kindergartens, and terrorist rewards for murdering Israeli civilians? The new US State Department apparently thinks so. Plus for the first time ever the KKL-JNF is considering to openly fund the purchase of land from Arabs in Judea and Samaria in order to help develop more Jewish communities there. The final vote on the matter will be held after Israel’s elections. Plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.
Terror at Home and Abroad
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the blast which took place near the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi on Friday. Many believe the explosion was a warning shot sent by an Iranian-backed terror group who may be planning future attacks against Israeli targets in that area of the world. At the same time here in Israel, an Arab terrorist tried to carry out a stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction yesterday. Thanks to an alert IDF soldier, the terrorist was killed before he could inflict any damage. These stories plus all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s show.

Israeli Taxpayer Money Rewarding Terror
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Maurice Hirsch, Head of legal strategies at Palestinian Media Watch, who is outraged at Israel’s decision to “loan” the PA $800 million due to their claim that as a result of Corona, they are on the verge of collapse. Hirsch says that the payment fundamentally undermines the war on terror, as the PA has shown time and time again, that the funding they receive from international sources is diverted towards their “pay to slay” program, which awards terrorists and their families for carrying out attacks against Israelis.

PA Arabs Planning “Popular Uprising”
In response to the launch of US President Trump’s upcoming peace plan, PA officials are threatening to launch a “popular uprising” later this month. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten explains that the language used is essentially a threat of violence and terror. Ironically, Josh says that when a third party such as the US initiates a plan that they don’t like, that violence is somehow always directed at Israel.
