WILL TRUMP DO A DEAL WITH IRAN?

Recorded on Yom Hashoa, Yaakov Lappin and I discuss the significance of this solemn day, the clear Jew-Hatred exhibited by too many new-media "influencers" and the status of the IDF's operations inside the Gaza Strip, before assessing the implications of the Trump administration's outreach to Iran and whether or not all involved in those negotiations would do well to stop courting the press.

HAMAS ON NOTICE - WILL IDF LAUNCH GROUND OP?

Huge IDF ground op required to 'completely' destroy Hamas | Israel kills 140 Hezbollah terrorists

Israel is believed to be readying for a massive ground offensive that would see the IDF take over the Gaza Strip.

In our latest briefing, defense expert and CEO of The MirYam Institute, Benjamin Anthony, explains why both the most likely of two key outcomes will require a "significant" Israeli force in the enclave. To enact the Donald Trump plan and to defeat Hamas "completely" would mean IDF reservists going into Gaza on the ground in large numbers.

It comes as the IDF reveals it's killed 140 Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon since the ceasefire came in to force. Will that fragile ceasefire hold if the terror group continues attempts to regroup and attack Israel?

Anthony also examines the latest talks between Washington and Tehran as Israel rethinks its plan to strike nuclear sites in Iran.

We'll have the latest battlefield footage and expert analysis to make it all make sense.

In the final segment of our update, Anthony gives a hugely passionate take on Yom HaShoah and the ideological battle faced by Israelis and Jews around the world as revisionist historians, comedians and podcasters peddle their dangerous lies.

IRANIAN NUKES: TO STRIKE OR NOT TO STRIKE? 

In this episode, Yaakov Lappin and I assess the fall out of the NYT article that claims that "Trump Waved Off Israeli Strike [against Iran's nuclear weapons program] After Divisions Emerged in His Administration." 

We ask who leaked the information and what Trump and Bibi's next steps might be in light of the story and emerging disagreement between the two. We then clash on the question of what an Iranian retaliation might look like in the event of a solo Israeli, or Israel-U.S. kinetic strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

BLOWN TO HELL! HAMAS CHIEF DEAD, TRUMP STOPS IRAN OP

Trump stops Israel strike on Iran nuke sites for now as Hamas smuggling chief blown to pieces

In our latest unmissable video, watch the newest jaw-dropping battlefield footage released by the IDF as defense expert and MirYam Institute CEO Benjamin Anthony breaks down the biggest developments in the Israel-Hamas war.

Anthony gives the lowdown on the destruction of a Hamas terror base and training complex and the targeted strike by the Israeli military in Khan Younis that killed Yahya Fathi Abd al-Qader Abu Shaar—Hamas’s top smuggling operative.

As the Israel Defense Forces releases its own report card on Gaza, we also get Anthony's take on reports that Israel was ready for a week of airstrikes and commando raids on nuclear facilities in Iran but that the plans were "waved off" by Donald Trump.

In the Oval Office, the U.S. President said “I wouldn’t say ‘waved off’” but added, “I’m not in a rush to do it.”.

WIPE OUT! HEZBOLLAH 'CAN'T BE TRUSTED!'

Key Hezbollah operative killed as terror org hints at disarm move

+

Netanyahu in coded Iran warning

In a searing blow to the Hezbollah terror network, dramatic footage has captured the moment Israeli warplanes vaporised Muhammad Adnan Mansour — the top artillery commander in the a-Tayyiba region.

Mansour, a ruthless terrorist responsible for launching countless rocket attacks into Israel’s Upper Galilee, was taken out with clinical precision in a targeted airstrike that sent shockwaves through the ranks of the Iran-backed terror group.

The strike comes as Hezbollah — battered and bruised from its disastrous post October 7 2023 war with Israel — faces mounting pressure from within Lebanon to lay down its arms.

With Lebanon’s US-backed President Joseph Aoun said to be preparing to open formal disarmament talks, MirYam Institute CEO, Benjamin Anthony warns that Hezbollah can't be trusted.

The message from Jerusalem is loud and clear: terror commanders will be hunted down, one by one. And if Hezbollah wants to talk peace, it may have to do it without its rockets.

Meanwhile the world is still assessing the latest meeting between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Benjamin Anthony argues that the revelation of nuclear talks between America and Iran is a "concern" and says Bibi delivered a coded warning to the Tehran regime.

45 STRIKES, 24 HOURS - ELITE UNITE TO 'DEFEAT' HAMAS BRIGADE

IDF BLITZ 45 GAZA HAMAS SITES IN 24 HOURS

+

EPIC FAUDA STYLE VIDEO OF LIONS' DEN TERRORIST ARREST

The Israel Defense Forces has released new video of it obliterating 45 Hamas terror targets in Gaza in just 24 hours.

In our latest briefing, defense expert and MirYam Institute CEO, Benjamin Anthony, explains the intensity of the military bombardment by the IDF. From first-hand experience of this war, Anthony gives a tactical overview of what's happening right now in Rafah and the Morag Corridor area between Rafah and Khan Younis, as Israel widens its perimeter of control.

Meanwhile dramatic footage has captured the high-stakes arrest of a "Lions' Den" terrorist leader in a daring West Bank raid.

In an edge-of-your-seat takedown straight out of an episode of Fauda, Israeli special forces stormed into Nablus in a bold counterterrorism operation that ended with the capture of two high-profile terrorists.

The moment elite units from the Israel Police’s Lahav 433 “Gidonim” Unit, backed by IDF and ISA intelligence, cornered Muhammad Bana — an armed and dangerous terrorist carrying an M-16 rifle and a spray grenade — was all caught on security cameras.

In a separate raid that unfolded like a military chess move, the IDF’s Duvdevan unit, acting on ISA intelligence, closed in on Khalil Hanbali — another wanted terrorist tied to shooting attacks and a key figure in supplying weapons to terror cells.

The video footage is intense, raw, and impossible to ignore — click to watch the moment these dangerous men were finally taken down.

TERRORISTS OBLITERATED! - 'TARGETED' KILLS 'APPROPRIATE'

MASSIVE BLAST ANNIHILATES HAMAS TERRORISTS AND SITES IN GAZA AS U.S. B-2 BOMBERS GET CLOSER TO IRAN

The IDF has expanded its security zone in southern Gaza, dismantling Hamas infrastructure in Rafah while continuing airstrikes on terror targets across the enclave. Strikes over the weekend destroyed weapons facilities, rocket launchers, and military sites, eliminating dozens of terrorists, including those firing mortars at Israel.

In our latest video, defense expert and MirYam CEO, Benjamin Anthony, gives dives deeper into the IDF's strategy and explains thinking behind both targeted strikes to eliminate key terrorists and the widening of the security perimeter.

Viewers will see footage and learn how in northern and central Gaza, the 252nd Division advanced its operations, with Yahalom troops demolishing a Hamas tunnel and uncovering a rocket production workshop.

Meanwhile, the IDF targeted Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon following rocket attacks on northern Israel, holding Lebanon accountable for violations of agreements.

In a joint operation, the IDF, ISA, and Mossad eliminated Hassan Ali Mahmoud Bdeir, a Hezbollah and Iranian Quds Force operative coordinating with Hamas to plan an imminent attack on Israeli civilians. His elimination neutralized the threat. The IDF remains committed to preventing terrorist threats inside and outside Israel.

Benjamin Anthony also gives his take on the state of play between the U.S. and Iran as American B-2 bombers are moved to Diego Garcia.

THE BIBAS FAMILY & ODED LIFSHITZ'S FATE

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the anticipated, tragic return of the bodies of Shiri Bibas, Ariel Bibas and Kfir Bibas to Israel, along with the body of Oded Lifshitz. 

All four of these hostages were kidnapped alive by Hamas on October 7th, 2023. 

The Bibas family, whose two young children became symbols of Hamas's depravity and of Israel's suffering due to their red hair and young age, is the only family that was kidnapped in its entirety on October 7th. 

The MirYam Institute hosted Izhar Lifshitz, Oded Lifshitz's son, in Poland during our annual I-SAP tour for cadets of the U.S. military academies, during which he spoke to them about his family's suffering since that day.

PODCAST: ISRAELI HOSTAGE RESCUED FROM HAMAS DUNGEONS SPEAKS OUT

ISRAELI HOSTAGE RESCUED FROM HAMAS DUNGEONS SPEAKS OUT

In advance of the expected release of a further three hostages tomorrow, today's show features a conversation between me and Almog Meir-Jan. 

Almog was seized by Hamas on October 7th, 2023 and held hostage inside the Gaza Strip until he was rescued by Israel's security forces at the age of 21 in one of the most daring rescue operations ever undertaken by Israel. That operation, which took place on June 8th, 2024, was renamed Operation ARNON, after Y.A.M.A.M. operator, Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora, who was wounded by Hamas terrorists and later died of his wounds. Along with Almog, Noa Argamani, 26, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, were also rescued.

On December 10th, 2023, I interviewed Almog in front of a live Manhattan Audience, to gauge his reflections on his time in captivity, his perspective on the rescue operation, his outlook on life now that he's freed, and his view on the need to redeem all of the remaining hostages. 

I also praised his mother, Orit, whom our organization escorted throughout her fight to ensure that Almog's plight remained at the forefront of public consciousness, and who we brought to address members of the U.S. House of Representatives, members of the Senate, and legislators in the British parliament and government.
