Was Israel’s judicial reform really stopped or did Israel change far more than most people realize?I spoke with Prof. Moshe Koppel, chairman of the Kohelet Policy Forum, one of the most influential intellectual forces behind Israel’s conservative policy movement, for a fascinating conversation about what actually happened to judicial reform and what comes next.The massive protest movement attempted to stop the reform process. Then the October 7 massacre and the ensuing war transformed Israel’s national agenda.But the story did not end there.Moshe Koppel explains what was actually accomplished, what institutional and political changes have already taken place, what remains unfinished, and why Israel’s upcoming elections could be critical for the future balance between the elected government, the judiciary and the legal establishment.We also discuss the deeper political changes taking place within Israeli society and the growing importance of national conservatism not only in Israel, but throughout the Western world.With another major National Conservatism Conference bringing together thinkers, policymakers and political leaders, what does national conservatism actually mean? Why is it gaining strength? And what can Israel contribute to a broader movement emphasizing national sovereignty, tradition, democratic accountability and Western civilization?This conversation goes far beyond one judicial reform bill.It is about who governs Israel, how Israeli democracy should function, what Israelis will be voting for in the upcoming elections, and what kind of Jewish state we leave to the next generation.Watch this important conversation with Moshe Koppel and share it with anyone who wants to understand where Israel is heading.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

An Israeli political candidate was attacked by Palestinian stone-throwers in Judea and Samaria, and she is refusing to back down.Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, a candidate for Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party and a prominent advocate for Israel internationally, was traveling through the Binyamin region with social media influencers and international opinion leaders when their vehicle came under attack.During a tour organized in cooperation with the Regavim movement, the group was leaving the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya when several Palestinians surrounded their vehicle and began hurling stones and other objects.A window was shattered, and several participants reportedly suffered minor injuries.But Hassan-Nahoum's response was unequivocal: *"Palestinian terrorism will not deter us."*This incident raises serious questions about security, freedom of movement, and the continuing threat of Palestinian violence in the Jewish heartland.Why is it so important for international influencers to see the reality of Judea and Samaria firsthand? And what does this attack reveal about the challenges Israel continues to face?Watch, share, and join the conversation.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Why America’s Right Is Turning Against Israel and the JewsSomething very important is happening on the American conservative right, and Israelis need to understand it.At Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism conference in Jerusalem, I sat down with Amanda Milius and Jonathan Keeperman, two Jewish Americans who were invited to Israel to help explain the growing divide over Israel within parts of the American conservative movement.For decades, Israel could count on strong support from conservative Christians and the American right. Today, however, anti-Israel sentiment, and in some circles outright Jew-hating antisemitism, is gaining traction among voices that identify with the conservative right.Why is this happening? What are these Americans hearing about Israel? Why are some younger conservatives increasingly questioning the U.S.-Israel relationship? And, most importantly, what can Israel and the Jewish people do about it?I believe this was one of the most important discussions for Israelis to hear at NatCon.Because there is another side to this story that gives me tremendous hope.The Jews of Israel today actually embody so many of the values conservative Americans cherish: faith, family, patriotism, national sovereignty, military service, tradition, community, having children, defending the freedom-loving world, and refusing to apologize for loving our nation.And increasingly, Israelis don't want to continue receiving US aid. We want a relationship between two strong, sovereign allies based on shared interests, shared values, trade, technology and mutual benefit, not dependency.The problem is that millions of Americans have absolutely no idea.Too often, Israel is presented to Americans only through war, politics, foreign aid, the distorted lens of the mainstream media and the voices of progressive Jews in America. They don't see the incredible Jewish society being rebuilt in our ancestral homeland, or an Israeli public increasingly interested in greater independence and sovereignty.That means Israel has work to do.Instead of simply complaining that support for Israel is declining, we must understand why and start communicating directly with Americans about who Israelis actually are and what Israel represents.Watch this important conversation with Amanda Milius and Jonathan Keeperman from NatCon in Jerusalem, and share it with anyone concerned about the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Jeremy Boreing came to Jerusalem, Israel, to speak at Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism Conference, and it was a pleasure meeting him in person and having this important conversation about Israel, America, the conservative movement, Candace Owens, the red-green alliance and the disturbing rise of Jew-hating antisemitism on the right in America.Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire and host of the Jeremy Boreing show, has been one of the influential voices in American conservative media. From Jerusalem, we discussed a critical question facing conservatives today: What is happening to the American right when it comes to Jews and Israel?For years, we have watched Jew-hating antisemitism spread through the radical left and the red-green alliance between radical progressive movements and radical Islamists. But today, Jew-hating antisemitism is also becoming increasingly visible among elements of the political right.We specifically discussed Candace Owens, her break with The Daily Wire, the rhetoric surrounding Jews and Israel, and the dangerous normalization of ideas that conservatives should be confronting rather than ignoring.This is bigger than left versus right.It is about Israel, America, Western civilization, Biblical values upon which the freedom-loving West was founded, jihadi Islam, and the future of the conservative movement.That is why this conversation in Jerusalem was so important.Jeremy and I may come from different backgrounds, but we share a desire to protect the countries we love. The intent of this conversation is ultimately to help save both of our countries by identifying the ideological threats confronting them and refusing to remain silent.America needs a strong Israel. Israel needs a strong America. Both nations need God. And both need people willing to stand against Jew-hating antisemitism, whether it comes from the left, the right or jihadi Muslims.Watch and share this important conversation from Jerusalem.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

FINALLY! Israel is beginning to act like the strong, independent and sovereign Jewish state we were meant to be.For decades, foreign governments have condemned and pressured Israel over Jews living and building in Judea and Samaria, our Biblical, indigenous and ancestral homeland. Israel usually protested, explained itself and moved on.This time is different.After Britain dramatically escalated measures against Israel and Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, Israel responded with diplomatic consequences of its own.That is the real story.This isn't simply about Britain, a consulate or another diplomatic dispute. It represents a potentially historic change in Israeli foreign policy: Countries should no longer be able to wage diplomatic warfare against Israel while automatically enjoying all the benefits of friendship and cooperation with Israel.Israel possesses tremendous military, intelligence, technological and economic capabilities. Western countries benefit from Israeli intelligence and Israeli innovation, including in the fight against jihadist terrorism.It is time Israel understood its own strength.You want Israel as an ally? Act like an ally.The Jewish people did not return to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria after 2,000 years to ask foreign governments for permission to live in our ancestral homeland.We are sovereign again.This is the direction Israel must continue moving: away from dependence, appeasement and the failed paradigms of the past and toward Jewish sovereignty, strength, faith and independence.Watch, share and help spread the inspiring truth about Israel and the Jewish people.Am Yisrael Chai!

Three years after the October 7 massacre, on the secular calendar, and Israel still has not clearly named the enemy behind the attack. The enemy was not merely Hamas, Qatar or the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hamas is one terrorist organization produced by a much broader threat: jihadist ideology, a worldview that glorifies violence, domination and the persecution of those who refuse to submit. October 7 was not only a warning to Israel. It was a warning to the entire freedom-loving world. Look at the unrest spreading across France and other parts of Europe. Police are attacked, property is burned and foreign flags are waved, yet Western leaders continue treating each eruption as an isolated social problem. They condemn vague “extremism” while refusing to confront the ideology exploiting their freedom, tolerance and open societies. Every refusal to name the threat empowers it. A Belgian journalist recently interviewed me about alleged “settler violence.” After dismantling his premise, I told him that Europe is obsessing over Jews living and defending themselves in our ancestral homeland while ignoring the jihad inside their gates threatening its own civilization. Israel must lead the intellectual and moral fight. We must stop speaking only about individual organizations and begin exposing the ideology connecting Hamas, the Iranian regime and jihadist movements operating around the world. Governments must dismantle organizations promoting terrorist violence, prosecute incitement and material support for terrorism, and all those who actively advocate jihadist violence, promote discriminatory sharia law, or assist terrorist organizations. Israelis are awakening to this reality. Now Israel must become a light unto the nations by telling the free world the truth it is afraid to confront. Name the enemy. Defend our civilization. Protect future generations.

Israel put a 19-year-old IDF soldier in prison after he shot a terrorist. Now Israeli President Isaac Herzog has pardoned Elor Azaria, and every Israeli needs to understand why his story still matters.Because this is not just about Elor Azaria. It is about whether IDF soldiers confronting terrorists should fear pulling the trigger because they are worried about military prosecutors, investigations and hostile international headlines.On March 24, 2016, two Arab terrorists attacked IDF soldiers with knives in Hebron. One was killed. The second, Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, was wounded.Sgt. Elor Azaria, a young IDF combat medic, arrived as concerns were being raised that the terrorist might still pose a threat with a bomb on his body. Azaria fired.The incident was filmed, creating an international media firestorm. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter and imprisoned.The message many Israeli soldiers heard was devastating: hesitate and your friends might die; fire and your own country might prosecute you.Then came October 7th.Israel discovered the catastrophic price of decades of containment, hesitation and failed assumptions about our enemies.This debate continues today — from IDF rules of engagement and the military legal establishment to the Force 100/Sde Teiman affair and the battle over rewriting the IDF ethical code.And with Israeli elections approaching, the question is bigger than ever:Will Israel elect leaders who continue the old security establishment worldview or leaders who will back our fighters, untie their hands, defeat our enemies and make victory the goal again?Elor Azaria’s pardon closes one file.Israel still needs to learn the lesson.Protect our soldiers. Protect the Jewish people. Defeat our enemies.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei said something extraordinary about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—and every Israeli should hear it.Speaking in New York, Milei praised Netanyahu as an “extraordinary leader” with geopolitical vision, but then went much further. He argued that Netanyahu is one of the few world leaders who truly understands the enormous “cultural battle” taking place across Western civilization.Milei has repeatedly warned that the West is confronting an ideological struggle involving the radical progressive left, post-Marxist ideas, political Islam and the institutions shaping modern culture. And he sees Israel and the Jewish people at the epicenter of that battle.Why?Because Israel represents something much bigger than another Western democracy.The Jewish people are an ancient indigenous nation restored to our ancestral homeland after 2,000 years of exile. We are rooted in the Land of Israel, Torah, Biblical morality, Jewish identity and belief in God.Milei has called Israel the “bastion of the West” and argued that fighting antisemitism means defending the morality at the foundation of Western civilization.He gets it.The war against Israel is not only about Gaza, Iran, Hezbollah or Hamas. There is also a global battle of ideas taking place—from universities and international institutions to media, NGOs and the streets of Western cities.Israel stands at the intersection.This is why Israelis must understand the magnitude of our moment. Our challenge is not to abandon our Jewish identity to gain acceptance from the world. It is to strengthen it.A Jewish nation. In the Land of Israel. Connected to our Torah, our God, our history and our mission.That is what it means to become a true light unto the nations.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The more we learn about what happened aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073, the more extraordinary this story becomes.Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain, was reportedly stabbed and seriously wounded by his Omani copilot, who Israeli officials say apparently attempted to crash the Boeing 737 MAX carrying 174 people, overwhelmingly Israelis.The aircraft plunged roughly 17,000 feet in less than two minutes.And then came miracle after miracle.Despite being seriously wounded, Captain Machchhar reportedly managed to release the cockpit security door before collapsing, allowing passengers to enter.An Israeli plumber named Yaniv rushed into the cockpit, fought the attacker and helped regain control of the plunging aircraft. Other courageous passengers joined him and subdued the attacker.Then another extraordinary development: professional FlyDubai pilots happened to be traveling as passengers aboard that very flight. They were able to take control and ultimately land the aircraft safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.Think about that chain of events.A wounded captain who still manages to open the cockpit.Israelis courageous enough to charge toward danger.An ordinary plumber who suddenly finds himself helping save an aircraft.Professional pilots sitting among the passengers precisely when they are desperately needed.And a plane that survives an extraordinary plunge long enough for control to be restored.Remove just one link from that chain and this story could have ended very differently.Instead, they came home.Thank the courageous Captain Smit Machchhar.Thank the Israeli passengers who acted.Thank the pilots who stepped in.And above all: Thank You, Hashem.Not every miracle is this obvious. Recognizing God's hand in our lives doesn't diminish human courage or responsibility, it enhances them.Strengthen your faith in God. Faith is a force multiplier.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

This is me patrolling the Judean hills at night after celebrating the Jewish new year, watching over the expansion of a brand-new Jewish community in the heartland of our ancestral homeland.To put this into perspective, I was reading a book about Israel when I came across this extraordinary quote from Golda Meir:“By the summer it was no longer safe for Jews to travel from one city to another. Whenever I had to go from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for a meeting, which was frequently, I kissed the children good-bye in the morning knowing that I might well never come home again, that my bus might be ambushed, that I might be shot by an Arab sniper at the entrance to Jerusalem or stoned to death by an Arab mob on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.”Golda was describing 1936.During that uprising, our jihadi Arab enemies attacked Jews more than 2,000 times across the Land of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Petah Tikva, Kfar Saba, and many other Jewish communities. The State of Israel did not even exist yet. They were not blaming us for “settlements” or “occupation.” They were attacking us for being Jews living in our homeland.Now look at where we are today.The same jihadi enemy remains. But those vulnerable Jewish communities of Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Kfar Saba etc. in 1936 have become thriving cities in a sovereign Jewish state, one of the strongest countries and economies on earth. And today we are once again building and strengthening Jewish communities throughout Judea and Samaria, the heartland of our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.That is why I tell people to refuse to get depressed by the daily demoralizing headlines. Zoom out. Look at the big picture.Look at where Golda Meir and the Jewish community were in 1936. Then look at us today. Our enemies who seek to remove the Jewish people from this land have failed continuously for over 100 years. They have not disappeared. Neither have we.We came home. We built a state. We built cities. We revived our language. We built one of the strongest armies in the world. And despite all of their jihadi evil, and despite the enablement of the international community, we continue building.The Jewish people are stronger in our homeland today than at virtually any point in the past 2,000 years. Do not allow today’s headlines to make you lose sight of the historic process we are privileged to be living through.Strengthen your faith. Look at the big picture.We are home. We are growing. And we are not going anywhere.Am Yisrael Chai!The Golda Meir quote in this video comes from her autobiography, My Life. It is a fascinating firsthand account of the struggle to establish and defend the Jewish state.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

French President Emmanuel Macron made an extraordinary claim at the United Nations: Hamas has “never been active in the West Bank”, Judea and Samaria.That claim is a total lie, contradicted by Hamas’s documented history of terrorist networks and attacks in Judea and Samaria. But Macron’s statement is only the beginning of this story.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the much bigger historical and ideological questions surrounding the Palestinian national movement, the PLO, Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union.Former Romanian intelligence chief and Soviet-bloc defector Ion Mihai Pacepa made explosive claims about the KGB’s role in creating and supporting the PLO, shaping its international image and grooming Arafat as its leader. Pacepa even claimed Soviet intelligence helped reconstruct Arafat’s biography and transform the Palestinian cause into a Soviet-style “national liberation” struggle. And that raises a question Western leaders rarely confront:How much did Soviet political warfare contribute to the international narrative surrounding Israel and the Palestinians?The video also examines the Palestinian Authority, its education system, payments connected to imprisoned and deceased Palestinians involved in attacks, and the continuing ideological struggle over Israel’s legitimacy.Macron’s statement about Hamas deserves scrutiny. But focusing exclusively on Hamas risks missing the much larger debate over the history, ideology and objectives of the Palestinian national movement itself.Watch. Think.

A reported Israeli assessment raises serious questions about Lebanon's commitment to disarming Hezbollah. According to Israel's Channel 14, an Israeli political official claims that elements of the Lebanese Army may actually be coordinating with Hezbollah.After decades of failed security arrangements, Israel faces a fundamental question: Can it entrust its northern security to Lebanon, the United Nations and international guarantees?Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. Following the 2006 Lebanon War, UN Security Council Resolution 1701 called for southern Lebanon to remain free of unauthorized armed forces. Yet Hezbollah subsequently expanded its military infrastructure, backed by Iran.Now, with renewed concerns about Lebanese Army cooperation with Hezbollah, the future of Israel's northern border is once again under debate.But there is another dimension to this story: biblical history.Joshua describes the inheritance of the tribe of Asher extending toward Sidon and Tyre. Jewish communities existed in southern Lebanon for centuries. Early Zionist leaders also advocated a northern frontier extending toward the Litani River.Could permanent Israeli control of southern Lebanon, potentially accompanied by sovereignty and renewed Jewish communities, provide a different security framework?This discussion explores the reported intelligence assessments, the history of Israel's northern border, Hezbollah's military presence, the limitations of international security guarantees and the biblical connections between the Jewish people and southern Lebanon.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Extraordinary developments across the Middle East are raising serious questions.President Donald Trump unexpectedly shortened his stay at Camp David last week and returned to Washington. Meanwhile, American embassies issued security warnings amid concerns about Iranian threats, regional escalation and possible disruptions to international travel.Iran-backed Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia added to the regional tensions.At the same time, before Yom Kippur, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined thousands of Jews at the Western Wall for Selichot prayers, praying for the protection and success of our heroic IDF soldiers and security forces. Reports also indicated significant changes to Netanyahu’s planned American itinerary surrounding his United Nations speech.Are these developments connected? Is something major approaching?We don't know. And speculation isn't helpful.But there is something much more important that every Jew should understand.On Yom Kippur, Jews worldwide recite the powerful words of Unetaneh Tokef: "Who shall live and who shall die…"For the Jewish people, especially after October 7, these words carry extraordinary meaning.We have experienced devastating tragedy. We have witnessed incredible courage. And we have witnessed miracles.As an IDF reservist who continues to serve through this war, I know how essential our military strength, vigilance and preparedness are.But I also know that our ultimate protection comes from Hashem.Our responsibility is to strengthen both our physical defenses and our spiritual foundations: faith, Jewish identity, unity and our connection to God.Whatever happens next, we must remember who we are, why we are here and Who ultimately protects us.May Hashem protect our soldiers, our families, the Jewish people and all innocent people.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Why are leading national conservative thinkers from around the world coming to Jerusalem?Pulse of Israel’s Avi Abelow sat down with Avital Levi to discuss the upcoming National Conservatism Conference in Jerusalem—an international gathering bringing together influential conservative voices from Israel and across the globe.But this conference is about much more than politics.It is about the fundamental questions facing nations today: What holds a society together? Why does national identity matter? What role should faith, family, tradition and history play in shaping a country's future? And what happens when societies disconnect themselves from the values and heritage upon which they were built?Israel has a unique role in this conversation.The Jewish people returned to our indigenous, ancestral homeland after thousands of years of exile and rebuilt a sovereign Jewish state in the land where so many of the Biblical ideas that shaped Western civilization were first lived.That gives Jerusalem extraordinary significance as the location for this international gathering.Israelis have much to learn from national conservative movements around the world and how other countries are confronting questions of sovereignty, national identity, immigration, family, religion and Western civilization.But those international leaders also have something to learn from Israel: how ancient Biblical concepts of peoplehood, faith, national responsibility and connection to a homeland continue to influence a modern nation.In this fascinating conversation, Avi Abelow and Avital Levi discuss why these thinkers are gathering in Jerusalem, what Israelis can learn from them and what Israel can offer the world.Watch, share and join the conversation.To attend the upcoming NATCON conference in Jerusalem with a special Pulse of Israel discount:Registration - National Conservatism Conference, Jerusalem 2026nationalconservatism.orgDiscount code: PULSE30 Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulse Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=en Pulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetwork Visit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/ Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Something dramatic just happened in Israel—and nobody is talking about it.Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to prepare for the possibility of “all-out war” against the Palestinian Authority if PA security forces launch—or Israel knows they are about to launch—an October 7-style attack against Israeli communities and IDF forces. Think about what that means. For 30 years, the world has demanded that Israel treat the Palestinian Authority as a “peace partner” and the foundation of a future Palestinian state. Now Israel is preparing for the possibility of fighting the PA’s own armed security forces. The danger is particularly alarming because of geography. Unlike Gaza, Palestinian Authority-controlled areas in Judea and Samaria sit immediately adjacent to major Israeli population centers. Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, Petah Tikva, Rosh Ha’ayin and other Israeli cities could face a radically different threat environment if PA forces ever turned their weapons against Israel. October 7 taught Israel a devastating lesson: knowing an enemy is building military capabilities is not enough. Waiting for an attack can have catastrophic consequences. So Israel must confront a critical question: If the threat from the Palestinian Authority is serious enough to prepare for all-out war, what should Israel do about that threat before another October 7 scenario becomes possible Thirty years after the Oslo Accords, the debate over the Palestinian Authority, Israeli security and the future of Judea and Samaria may be entering a fundamentally different phase.
