Most

0:01

Israelis of all flavors are not happy

0:04

with Netanyahu. Those that voted for him

0:06

before. And you know what's interesting,

0:08

um you know Netanyahu is actually the

0:10

moderate. He represents a coalition of

0:13

more moderate parties, not really the

0:14

hard Likud. He's got Likud supporters,

0:16

of course. But he also has support from

0:19

some of the Arab parties in in or he

0:22

did. Doesn't anymore. Doesn't anymore.

0:24

But part of his coalition building was

0:26

to

0:27

kind of you know in the parliamentary

0:29

system you have a great many parties

0:30

that can assist you with different

0:32

things that you're doing. So um he's he

0:35

doesn't have I don't I think the real

0:37

ability this time to put together a

0:39

coalition. Everybody hates Netanyahu in

0:41

Israel. Um so that's

0:42

>> He did He did say and I guess this is

0:45

aimed at Trump

0:46

that the IDF will not leave their buffer

0:49

zones. Now Trump has not as far as I

0:51

know ordered them to physically leave

0:53

Lebanon, but again we have to wait and

0:55

see what the agreement says. But watch

0:57

this. It's not very

0:59

It's not very long and Netanyahu's not

1:01

very happy. Uh Chris Chris Chris cut

1:04

number 11.

1:05

>> We established deep security zones

1:06

around the state of Israel.

1:08

We did this in Gaza, in Lebanon, in

1:11

Syria. And by the way, we eliminated all

1:13

of Assad's army's weapons, which was a

1:15

central link in the axis of evil.

1:17

But I want to make it clear. We will

1:19

remain in the security zones for as long

1:21

as necessary to protect our country.

1:25

Because after October 7th, I established

1:27

a simple principle. Israel will not

1:29

allow terrorist organizations to park on

1:31

our borders or to dig terror tunnels

1:33

into our territory.

1:36

>> He's crazy even to mention October 7th

1:38

given the way so many Israelis perceive

1:42

him as having been responsible for the

1:45

extent of the death and harm.

1:47

>> Yeah, absolutely. He's he's

1:50

That is That is Netanyahu's platform for

1:52

why you shouldn't

1:54

get rid of me. He said I I made these

1:57

zones or whatever." What he misses, of

1:58

course, like all politicians do when

2:00

they don't have much to uh really good

2:02

things, he misses the fact that none of

2:03

that would have happened except for his

2:05

the way

2:06

well, October 7th, which is his own

2:08

government is uh culpable in,

2:11

uh the overreaction, the the huge

2:13

massive economic and uh political cost

2:16

of Gaza for 3 years,

2:18

uh the huge human cost, you know, uh the

2:20

most moral army in the world has been

2:22

exposed as the actual, you know, army of

2:24

thugs, the the biggest army of thugs in

2:27

the world. So, um he's he's speaking to

2:30

his the people that used to support him

2:33

um saying, "You voted for me to secure

2:35

the state, and I have secured the

2:37

state." When in fact, the reality belies

2:40

that. Even if you have security zones,

2:42

if you create new enemies, if you

2:44

empower new enemies, if you if your

2:46

enemies become so sympathetic in the

2:49

eyes of the world and the region that

2:51

now they have new partners and not only

2:54

I mean beyond Iran, you know, actual

2:57

global support, you know, people

2:58

cheering for for uh Palestine at the

3:01

World Cup rather than Israel. All these

3:03

things. This is This is the legacy of

3:06

Netanyahu. He knows it well, so do the

3:08

people in Israel, which is why they want

3:10

to get rid of him, and he will be the

3:11

scapegoat. He will be not really a

3:14

scapegoat. He is at fault here. He's not

3:16

the only one, but uh they'll scapegoat

3:18

him, and he'll be gone. So, that's and I

3:20

think Trump is to some extent betting on

3:23

that. Um doesn't mean, you know,

3:25

obviously he's going to be replaced by a

3:27

hard-liner, but

3:28

that new person will have the

3:30

opportunity now to have a new

3:31

relationship with the US, and that's

3:34

something that Trump can manipulate much

3:36

better than he could with Netanyahu, who

3:37

has really grandfathered Trump into

3:40

office. I mean, Trump's uh Netanyahu's

3:42

been there so long, and Trump has always

3:44

uh

3:45

you know, kind of been guided by

3:46

Netanyahu. So, I think uh so many things

3:48

in the world are changing, and this is

3:50

one more thing that is changing. But, as

3:53

as I understand it, if the MOU is

3:56

violated, and the MOU identifies Israel

3:59

as subordinate to the United States, the

4:02

Iran is dealing with the United States,

4:04

and they say, "You're ally. You're in

4:05

charge of that. If you can't stop them,

4:07

it's cuz you don't want to." That's that

4:09

is how Iran has stated it. So, if the

4:12

MOU is violated by Israel, and the US

4:15

does nothing, takes no action

4:17

whatsoever, then Iran it's the MOU is

4:20

violated, and Iran goes back to bombing

4:22

Israel, which I don't think Israel wants

4:24

that. Um we are in no position to

4:26

continue the war. This is why the MOU

4:28

looks to Americans as lopsided, okay?

4:32

It's what it looks like when you lose a

4:33

war.

Interactive Summary

The video discusses the political precariousness of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, noting that he has lost significant support across the political spectrum. It highlights his attempt to justify his leadership through the creation of security zones post-October 7th, while critics argue his policies have exacerbated regional conflict and damaged Israel's global standing. The commentary further suggests that Donald Trump may be looking to move past Netanyahu to establish a different, more manageable relationship with a new Israeli administration, while also touching upon the complexities of security agreements and regional geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the U.S.
