  The Pulse of Israel

  Netanyahu Just Scored a HUGE Win in Lebanon — This Changes Everything

  Aug 20, 202612 min

  As fighting with Hezbollah returned days ago, something extraordinary is happening in Lebanon that deserves far more attention.For decades, Israel fought the same disastrous cycle: defeat our enemies militarily, face international pressure to withdraw, trust international guarantees, watch the terrorists rebuild, and eventually fight another war.Today, that paradigm is beginning to change.Hezbollah continues to demonstrate why Israel can never withdraw from southern Lebanon while the terrorist organization remains armed. Yet the critical development is diplomatic: the United States is increasingly placing responsibility on Hezbollah to disarm rather than demanding that Israel withdraw first.That is a HUGE shift.Israel learned the hard way what happens when we surrender strategic territory based on international promises. We withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, while Hezbollah built an enormous terrorist army under UNIFIL's watch. We withdrew from Gaza in 2005, uprooting nearly 10,000 Jews and destroying 21 Jewish communities. Hamas responded with rockets, terror tunnels and ultimately the October 7 massacre.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has helped change the diplomatic equation: Hezbollah must be dismantled and southern Lebanon demilitarized before Israel can be expected to withdraw.Is this the decisive victory Israel ultimately needs? No. Hezbollah remains dangerous, Iran continues orchestrating terror across the Middle East, and Israel must ensure that its northern communities can never again face this threat by remaining in our Jewish tribal lands of Dan & Naftali in Southern Lebanon forever. But we should recognize a historic diplomatic achievement when we see one.For perhaps the first time, the international expectation is shifting from "Israel must withdraw and trust us" to "the terrorist organization must disarm first."That is a paradigm shift worth protecting.Israel must continue learning the lessons of October 7: no more blind faith in international guarantees, no more surrendering strategic security for temporary diplomatic promises, and no return to failed assumptions.Peace in this region comes through strength, deterrence and ultimately decisive victory.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/

  The Pulse of Israel

  Qatar & the PA are Playing the Trump Administration With the “Settler Violence” Blood Libel

  Aug 19, 202612 min

  The latest “settler violence” story from Qusra is another dangerous example of how the Palestinian Authority’s misinformation machine is manipulating American officials, international media and even genuine friends of Israel.The incident did not occur deep inside a peaceful Arab village. It unfolded on Jabal Ein Aneva, strategic high ground between Migdalim and the Shilo bloc that the Palestinian Authority has reportedly been working to seize through illegal construction and the creation of facts on the ground.Qusra also has a documented history of terrorism and violent attacks against Jews. Yet that critical context disappeared as Jewish shepherds and families at Tel Talfiot were immediately portrayed as violent extremists and “terrorists.”Even U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee initially repeated this framing before walking back his remarks. Huckabee is a true friend of Israel, but that makes the contaminated information reaching the Trump administration even more alarming.Who benefits from this misinformation?The Palestinian Authority benefits by turning its strategic land grab into a story about Jewish aggression. Qatar also benefits by driving a wedge between Israel and its strongest American supporters, particularly Christians and conservatives. Qatar, a leader of the global Muslim Brotherhood, has hosted Hamas leaders, supported Muslim Brotherhood networks and invested heavily in influence throughout Washington.The same propaganda pattern appeared in the false Taybeh church story: accuse Jews first, generate international condemnation and allow the facts to arrive only after the damage has been done.Criminal violence should always be investigated, regardless of who commits it. But automatically blaming Jews while ignoring ongoing, daily, jihadi Muslim terrorism, illegal PA construction and the strategic battle for Area C is not justice. It is moral inversion.The “settler violence” blood libel does not endanger only hilltop youth. It delegitimizes every Jew living in Judea and Samaria, and ultimately every Israeli.Watch, share, and demand the full truth before another manufactured narrative endangers Jewish lives.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/

  Did Israel Save Trump's Life? The Shocking Iran Assassination Plot

  Aug 17, 202611 min

  According to explosive reports emerging from Washington and Israeli media, Israel passed on intelligence info to U.S. officials regarding an Iran assassination threat against President Trump during last month's NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. The reported operation to protect the President included extraordinary deception tactics, a possible surface-to-air missile threat, and intelligence that allegedly originated with Israel. If true, this story should reshape how Americans view Israel's role as one of the United States' closest strategic allies.In this episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow analyzes what these reports could mean for U.S.-Israel relations, the growing Iranian threat, and why this incident should force Washington to rethink its policies toward Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. If Iranian intelligence truly possessed highly detailed information about President Trump's movements—and if Israeli intelligence helped expose the threat—it highlights how closely American and Israeli security interests overlap in confronting common adversaries.This video also examines the broader strategic picture: Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, Turkey, and the proposed Gaza roadmap. Can governments that have supported Hamas be trusted to shape Gaza's future? Why does Israel continue warning the free world about the dangers posed by jihadist movements? And what lessons should President Trump draw from this reported assassination plot as he shapes future Middle East policy?While President Trump has made historic decisions benefiting Israel, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, standing firmly against Iran, and helping secure the release of Israeli hostages, Avi explains why this reported incident should serve as another reminder that Israel is not merely America's ally, but its frontline partner against common terrorist threats.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/

  Trump's 15 Point Gaza Plan Is a Disaster

  Aug 16, 202613 min

  Trump's new 15-point Gaza roadmap has sparked headlines around the world—but is it really a path to peace, or a dangerous repeat of the mistakes that led to October 7?In this Pulse of Israel episode, Avi Abelow explains why Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was right to reject the proposal and why every Israeli must understand what is actually in this new plan. While President Trump has been one of the greatest friends Israel has ever had, moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, standing up to Iran, and helping bring our hostages home, friendship does not require silence when Israeli lives are at stake.The new proposal envisions a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a Palestinian technocratic government, Palestinian police, an International Stabilization Force, and international oversight, with Qatar and Turkey playing key roles in shaping the framework. Can Israel really entrust its security to governments that have supported Hamas for years?This video also examines shocking reports that Hamas terrorists have already begun testing Israel's resolve by crossing the "Yellow Line," stealing IDF equipment, and probing Israeli defenses while ceasefire restrictions limited the military's response. Have we learned nothing from October 7?Avi also explains why international guarantees have repeatedly failed, from the Oslo Accords, to UNIFIL in Lebanon, to the United Nations' inability to prevent Hamas from turning Gaza into a terrorist fortress. Israel cannot afford another experiment that leaves our security in the hands of others.The only lasting solution is one where Israel remains in Gaza forever, jihadis live elsewhere in the Middle East, ensuring that jihadis can never rebuild in Gaza, Israeli security remains in Israeli hands, and the Jewish people never again depend on international promises for their survival.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/

  Muslim Diplomatic Deception Exposed: The Strategy Muhammad Perfected 1,400 Years Ago

  Aug 16, 20261h 13m

  Israeli media has revealed a secret that was kept quiet for months: one Arab Muslim country advised another to sign an agreement with Israel only to “put it to sleep,” rearm, and prepare for the next war. Israeli journalist Tzvi Yehezkeli, who specializes in Islam and the Middle East, asks the only honest question: Is anyone actually surprised?He reminds us of a foundational Islamic precedent every Jew and Israeli must know, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.In 628 CE, while still weak, Muhammad signed a ten-year truce with the stronger Jewish Quraysh tribe at Hudaybiyyah. The terms looked humiliating. The pause allowed Mohammad to grow stronger. Two years later he broke the truce, marched on Mecca, and conquered it.That pattern never ended.Yehezkeli heard Yasser Arafat himself invoke Hudaybiyyah after the Oslo Accords, also recorded in a talk to a Muslim audience in South Africa that the agreement was not about peace but about buying time, land, and weapons. While Israelis sang songs of peace, Arafat brought armed men into Judea and Samaria. The Second Intifada followed.Would October 7 have been possible without Oslo? Without the Gaza withdrawal and the expulsion of nearly 10,000 Jews? Yehezkeli’s answer is clear: no. Every ceasefire with Hamas followed the same rearmament logic. Yahya Sinwar and Arafat used the identical playbook.Even today’s agreements with Arab states require open eyes, Egypt’s military buildup, Jordan’s instability, Turkey’s ambitions. For jihadi ideology, “peace” is a temporary pause on the road to the final goal: the destruction of the Jewish state and the subjugation of non-Muslims according to Muhammad’s path. No deal can be trusted. Israel always must be strong and prepared for the day any one of the Muslim states decides to break the truce, following Mohammad's ways.Western-minded Israelis keep hearing what they want to hear: quiet, routine, hummus in Ramallah. Our enemies hear something else entirely.It is time to stop thinking like Westerners and start thinking like Jews indigenous to the Middle East. The wake-up process is painful after 2,000 years of exile, but it is also the beginning of true redemption.Strengthen your faith. Share these truths.
