Jaw-Dropping Twist: Israel Considers a Deal to Stop Houthis' Missiles! Geopolitical Trends!

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Excited to be with you once again. Very interesting development just happened yesterday, and that's why I made the decision to go ahead and provide you this brief analysis. So it's going to be brief, but it's something you need to know, at least to put things in perspective. And this one has to do with— yeah, whoever thought Israel considering cutting a deal with all three elements: Iran, Hamas, and yes, Houthis. But the main aspects of all this has to do with the Houthis because of the raining missiles on Israel. They are, they are concerned. So this is what I'm going to be providing you my analysis on. But before I'll do this, let me say hi to our wonderful community. Willie Holman, as always. Laval, good to see you once again. Kiwami, good to see you. Raphael, as always, and salut à toi aussi.

Depends which uncle, which uncle that is. So anyway, uh, Jeff, good to see you as always. Let's get into our topic here, but before I'll do this, I have some housekeeping. Uh, remember to join me tonight, uh, for my conversation with Dr. Warwick Powell. So here is the link, uh, it will be at 1900 hours. Uh, uh, Dr. Warwick Powell, very, very insightful guy. You want to hear from him what he has to say. So I'll be having that with a conversation with him this evening. So my upcoming conversation with Professor Anna Malindog, it's going to be on the weekend on Saturday. So here's the link, and this one has to do with some major developments taking place in Philippines. The media is staying quiet about it, so I don't want to spoil it for you. I'm going to keep this till, uh, Saturday, so when we talk. So Uh, second thing I want to say is I want to say thank you to some supporters, and I'll start with Harry Loquel for his generosity, a major contribution, uh, to in support of my upcoming Asia trip. So Harry, I can't thank you enough, man, for your generosity, your support, and, and, and it means a lot to me. I, I just want you to know how much it means to me. I also want to extend my thanks to Ray, my, my dear friend Ray who is currently in China. Ray, thank you so much for your generous donation in support of my upcoming Asia trip. So I'm very, very grateful to you, Ray. And the last one is John. I want to say thank you for supporting the channel, and you wrote one specific sentence. It really touched my heart. You wrote the following, and I quote, supporting a noble cause initiated By David Oualaalou. Thank you so much for that. So I truly, truly appreciate you for that, and I appreciate all of you for your support. So, uh, and to those who are wanting to support my upcoming, uh, uh, Asia trip, here is the link for it, and I'll talk about it later on, guys, as we move forward. So, all right, let's get into our topic. So, uh, and by the way, uh, to those who participated in the survey question when I asked you a question should Iran enter into negotiations with the US? 89% of you said no, 7% say yes, and 4% say I don't know. So, and we had about 3,000, uh, voters that took place, uh, that took, uh, that participated in this survey. So thank you very much for answering the question, and I appreciate your insight. So I wanted to put it up to the community, uh, for it to know. So, so now let's get into our really an interesting— it's going to be an interesting session. So, because I feel this is like I'm looking over the horizon as, as to what lies ahead. And I use the term unthinkable because if you ask me about a month ago, I'll tell you no, you must be smoking weeds if you are thinking about Israel wanted to cut a deal with the Houthis, with Hamas, and with Iran, you know. But of specific here is what the Houthis have done by launching the missiles into Israel. So Israel basically is concerned about being destroyed because that's what's at the heart of it. There is no other alternative to this. And this is the reason why behind the scenes they are initiating this kind of stuff. And I'm going to get into how, uh, this is done. So, so as I said, whoever thought of this? But when you think about what Netanyahu is trying to do, especially after his visit to Washington here, so because as you know, he was here on Monday for an emergency visit, and this is for the third time in less than 6 months. So, and of course, uh, you know, I am certain the conversation part of it has to do with trying to see if Mr. Netanyahu will convince, uh, uh, uh, Donald Trump to conduct another war against Iran. Maybe. And this is again why I'm convinced as to where this is. Maybe Netanyahu got the answer that no, I'm not going to go. And that's why Netanyahu is kind of flipped and switched sides by saying, you know what, I will consider even a deal with Iran and even Hamas and even the Houthis, Ansarullah, that is. That's the only explanation I could, I could come up with here given what took place. So, and this is again for why you have to understand, uh, the importance of this development here for Israel to be considering a deal with all three elements. It's a big deal because those three elements are the elements that's gonna sort of, uh, be the ones gonna deal with Israel. This is why they are now, uh, sort of planting the seeds. The Israelis, that is the government, sending the seeds out there, planting the seeds out there, uh, uh, for the people to to start sort of for the domestic consumption, but also to soften the blow of what Iran and Houthis have done to, uh, Israel, but also Hamas, because Hamas couldn't be defeated. You know, here is what, uh, this is a side note, guys, and I don't know if you were aware of it, uh, is that, uh, Bibi Netanyahu has nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. Which is the world highest award given to an individual or organization that has made the greatest contribution to strengthening the bonds of brotherhood between nations, in quote. So, and, and it's, it's a joke. It is a joke and an insult. I know the Pakistani government just reiterated and withdrew its, uh, sort of nomination for Trump for, for, I mean, like Islamabad? What are you thinking about? Yeah, you, you have to lose your— you must lost your mind for you to sort of nominate Donald Trump for that. But in any event, that's, that's just a side note while I was thinking about it during the event. So, so back to our topic, and this one has to do with the Houthis and the missiles that's coming up. And I'm going to share clip with you as to what the Houthis did to the sinking ship, because it was a report out there that it says that, oh, the Israelis sank the ship. No, they did not. It was the Houthis. That was the reason why I wanted to do this for you, because I got a footage of it that I'm going to be sharing with you as I move forward. So, so now it's been reported in Tel Aviv that Haaretz, which is a major newspaper and, and publications inside Israel, It has a good reputation, don't get me wrong. I read their articles, it's, it's spot on, and it's not sort of in favor of the 100% in favor of the government. It's not. But here is what it says. It says that Israeli government now, and I'm paraphrasing here, the Israeli government is considering an agreement with Hamas, Iran to stop the Houthis missiles. Let, let's just unpack all this. First of all, when, uh, a statement like this comes up that says Israeli government is considering, mark my word on this, that the already decision has been made, except that they wanted to sort of like drip it, just drips for as far as ideas for the public consumption. So, and this is what the paper Harris that is quoted an Israeli officials Not just one official, but officials yesterday. So saying that Tel Aviv is studying possible scenarios to stop the Houthis' missiles, to stop the Houthis' missiles, not by attacking the Houthis. No, no, no, no, no, because it didn't work. So, and that including an agreement with Hamas, the, the, uh, and I got a, a picture of, of logo for them here. This is the Islamic— it says the, uh, the Islamic, uh, resistance, uh, movement of Hamas. And also Iran. Why? Why Iran? Of course, beside the tensions, is because the missiles that Houthis are using are from Iran. So if those Houthis, uh, missiles were able to penetrate their defenses, can you imagine what Iran didn't use yet against Israel? And this is where I think The strategic calculations for Netanyahu after his visit on Monday, it became clear to him that the US is not gonna go to into a war against Iran because the way for us to do it, we have to commit troops. The last thing the American people want— I mean, Trump knows it despite his stupidity. Yeah, despite Trump's stupidity, there is some sort of— he can see the the rationale of how the Americans— they already noticing that MAGA had turned on him for doing what he did when he dropped the bombs on the nuclear facilities in Iran. It almost was like, hey man, that ain't our problem. If Iran— if Israel decide to, to attack Iran, then let them deal with it. Sort of, you don't bite more than you can chew. And that's exactly what Israel found out, and this is why they want to go ahead with this, uh, uh, uh, uh, consideration. And here is the thing, and most likely this scenario, as far as the agreement, will end the war on the Gaza Strip, but now not on the terms of Netanyahu. It's going to be on Hamas. As a matter of fact, I just read this morning that Hamas already made it clear there will be no release of prisoners without the agreement to Hamas, uh, uh, conditions. Straightforward. On the other hand, what Israel is trying— what Bibi Netanyahu is trying to do to put an end to this Gaza thing, it's because of the launching of missiles from the Houthis. Because what is the condition that the Houthis have put forth? If Israel stopped its atrocities, if Israel allow the, the, uh, the entrance of aid, humanitarian aid, then the Houthis will stop firing. Houthis now, in my opinion, found out that we hit the jackpot as far as creating panic, turning the table upside down on the Israeli government because they didn't count on that. And when they start seeing missiles landing, they start to think twice about that. And as I said last time, the massive devastation that both medias in Tel Aviv and in Washington are not disclosing to the population. So, so let me first of all share a clip with you about the sinking ship. And by the way, before I do this, I give credit to the, uh, the Yemeni War Media because the soundtrack belongs to them. So just, I want to put this because YouTube usually doesn't like if you play a clip that has soundtrack. So I am disclosing the credit to the Yemeni War Media. So, so take a listen here because it's going to be, uh, let me get to it. Footage. Please give me thumbs up if you are sure you can hear, because I want to make sure. So by the way, what it says right there at the— in Arabic, uh, where it says, uh, Uh, that means basically is the, the scenes of the targeting and the sinking of the ship Magic Seas in the Red Sea in a special operation by the Yemeni Armed Forces on July 6th, 2025. So, so take a listen, guys.

Morrisville Magic Seas, this is Yemen Naval Forces calling you on channel 16. How do you read me? Over. Morrisville Magic Seas with call sign Delta 5 Golf Papa 6.

The vessel needs immediate assistance.

Mayday, mayday, mayday! What type of assistance you need? Rescue, rescue! The vessel will be abandoned. I need rescue for my crew.

The vessel will By Hooties and, uh, will be sung. All right, so I just want you to see this with your own eyes because it has been that, uh, as I said, I, I did hear it elsewhere that, oh, it was the Israelis that sunk the, the ship. That's— no, no, it wasn't. It was the Houthis that did. So, uh, and, and, and it just— because here's the, you know, when information is shared on the, on, on, on the mainstream, they don't disclose the detail of what really took place. So that's why I want you to see this one. So now put this within the context of the Houthis launching missiles at Israel. And again, I have another clip that's going to prove to you what I'm talking about as I move forward. So, and this is why Israel now is thinking in terms, you know what, maybe reaching out and understanding with Iran within the framework of what the US and Iran are— the dialogue, that is— this one will, in the opinion of Israeli politicians or Netanyahu or whomever makes a decision there, this will contribute to sort of the halting of the Houthi missile attacks. Well, I don't think so. It's because the Houthis do not request permission from Iran to fire missiles at Israel. This is what Israel does not want to, uh, uh, accept and admit, the fact that Houthis operate on Ansarullah, that is, operate independently from Iran. And that is where the concern for Israel is, because it became clear now that Houthis, you know, big Houthis, have now resumed the launching of missiles. Still, no ship will cross the Red Sea And as you heard in the clip, Yemenis were given the order and final warning to the captain of the ship to slow down, and he did not. So they moved in because they, they don't, they don't bluff. Knowing what I know about the Houthis, I spent time in Yemen, I was on the ground. It's a fierce force. I tell you this, guys, you know, if we think we could intimidate them, look what we did few months ago. Did we defeat the Houthis? No, we did not. So now here is the big concern that exists as of now in Tel Aviv, and that concern is the fear that the Israeli government now of the renewed firing from Yemen into Israel, be they missiles, be they rockets, be they drones, what have you. Why? Is because the air defense systems in Israel proved ineffective. Now there is one thing that happened recently, and the— I think the Arrow 3 system was able to intercept a missile from the Houthis, and I confirmed this one. But the other three, the Iron Dome, the David's Sling, and the THAAD systems all failed. So, and this is where you see the Israelis' fear and concern of this escalation, because this escalation is going to lead to the destruction of major cities, the likes of Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion. Because remember, the reason why the Houthis targeted Ben Gurion once again is because they did say, we're gonna put an air blockade on the flying, uh, on the, on the, uh, uh, planes As a matter of fact, some major airlines withdrew from Israel completely. No more flights for some airlines, not all of them. So, and that is where it tells you the idea of where this fear is coming from. And because this is what the Israeli officials are saying according to the newspaper's article. And as I said, Haritz does have a good reputation. Once again, I read their article. I know they're not going to push 100%, but what they are disclosing is that they are emphasizing that Israeli officials stated that they find it very difficult to stop missile launches from Yemen by, by the, the, uh, the Ansarullah or the Houthis, that is. So, and they even added that all the effort that Israel did— you remember I told you just yesterday that few days ago they went ahead, meaning they, Israel, went ahead and bombed certain areas in Hudaydah. You know, what are you bombing? It's already destroyed. Like I said, it was just symbolic, no more, no less, because the confirmation that I can provide you is that those officials inside Tel Aviv are saying the efforts, the efforts that Israel has put into harming, uh, the Houthis have failed. It's no different than what we did with all the mighty aircraft and all that stuff. What did we achieve? Houthis still standing. And this is what the officials are adding, and I quote here because I, I want to get you the quote as it is. It says, and I quote, the Houthis are an enemy that should not be treated lightly, and given their possession of advanced, uh, Iranian missiles and the fact that each missile they fired at Israel is accompanied by experts to improve the accuracy of subsequent launches, end of quote. So, and this is why, again, I think, and again, if putting my geopolitical analyst hat on, I think this conversation between not Bibi and, and Donald Trump— Bibi was convinced that the US is not gonna go for it this time for the second war scenario against Iran. It's because we don't want to risk it. So which means what? Israel will have to move to Plan B. That, that's the only con— that's the only rationale or pragmatic thinking that I could come up with regarding why all of a sudden, all of a sudden, we finding Israel willing to cut a deal with Iran, with Hamas, with the Houthis. But all this centers on one particular aspect, is the Houthis. So this is again because now they saw that the Ansarullah have resumed now shelling sites inside Israel, you know. And of course, what they did to the ship in the Red Sea, and that was in response to Tel Aviv's resumption of its war against Gaza. So, and this is why, like I mentioned, we tried it, the United States tried it, we launched airstrikes against the Ansarullah in early 2024. So even last May, Donald Trump announced the sort of, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, uh, sort of turn them into Stone Age. Really? Did you achieve that, Mr. Trump? That's why Trump came later on and announced the cessation of the military operations in Yemen. Not because we won, it's because we couldn't defeat them. And because the moment we started bombing Yemen, Yemen Houthis were sending missiles into Israel. It's because it became clear now you don't have to fire at the United States, you fire at Israel. This is what now the wild card. And, uh, Israel didn't count on that, on— they didn't sort of take the Houthis for their words when they said we will continue fighting and launching till Israel stops its atrocities in Gaza. I don't think so. They took it seriously because of the mentality of we have a superior military capabilities and so forth. And look, what did we achieve there?

Nothing.

And that is my point that I need you guys to grasp and understand. Liking this video so far? Don't just be a watcher. Go ahead and hit the like, share, and subscribe button, and don't forget to tap the bell so you will not miss any of my videos or live streams. This way, you will be supporting a channel that stands for the truth and objective reporting. The choice is yours. Thanks for your support. Okay, now when you consider also what the Houthis have achieved, and that's another aspect that I think— I am not convinced 100% yet, but I think it does play or factor in into the calculations of Bibi Netanyahu while he was in Washington. And this one has to do with the Houthis' defenses have lowered Israeli black flag. What am I referring to here? I am referring to the Houthis announced on Monday, this past Monday, this, uh, 2 days ago, the success in repelling the launched by Israeli warplane on Yemen.

Why?

Because the Houthis used the surprise. And you know what was that surprise? Is anti-aircraft missiles. So Israel is not willing to take any chances because they know the Houthis do not bluff. So Yahya Saree, uh, let me— I think I kept a picture. Yeah, Yahya Saree here, he did announce, said in a press statement, and I quote, their air defenses, meaning the Israelis, their air defenses effectively confronted the Israeli— I'm sorry, Their air defenses, meaning Yemenis, effectively confronted the Israeli aggression and forced a large portion of its formation to withdraw using a large barrage of locally manufactured surface-to-air missiles, causing, causing great confusion among the enemy's pilots and operations room, end of quote. That's another— he even added, Sari added, and I quote, our air defenses are ready and prepared to confront Israeli attacks on our country with all strength and power, and they will not affect it or its military capability. So on all this, they, they continue on to the argument, his statements, that all this in support of the The operations for Gaza and Palestine will continue, by the way. And that's all it is. So because Israel was thinking that, uh, Houthi is not gonna do it. No, they will because they don't bluff. And now Israel is realizing, Bibi Netanyahu, because there is now a survey was conducted inside Israel. Israelis are now fed up. They are fed up with Bibi Netanyahu. They want the guy's removal. Even the Supreme Court in Israel now, there is some conversation going on. But again, their constitution is, is different way how to go about it. So, and this is what I don't understand. When you have the Israeli defense minister, uh, this is Israel Gantz, his name is Israel Gantz, is the defense minister. When he argues that, oh, I'm gonna threaten the Houthis, they're gonna pay a heavy price. You know, because he said, and I quote, uh, as I have warned them before, the same Astahan law— anyone who tries to harm Israel will be harmed, and anyone who raises a hand against us will have their hands cut off. End of quote. This is what— well, here is the funniest thing of them all, guys. Right after his statements Right after his statements, right after the Israeli defense minister statements, you know what the Houthis did? They announced on Monday that they had launched a major military operations targeting vital facilities inside Israel, including Ben Gurion Airport and the ports of Eilat and Ashdod, using 3 ballistic missiles and 8 drones. So basically the message was, we don't care what you say, you know, those are nothing but rhetoric, empty bravado, because we don't get intimidated. I mean, heck, we tried it on the Houthis. We moved, uh, the, uh, Harry Truman aircraft, we brought another aircraft, we moved so many planes, we bombed so many, and the Houthis still standing. They don't get intimidated, at least in my experience. I was on the ground, I saw with my own eyes. Don't get me wrong, they are nice people. You know, sometimes I'll sit down on the floor and eat with them because they look at me as a human being, no more, no less. You know, was our policy wrong? Yes, it was. And I argued to the best of my abilities. Remember, there is a chain of command. You know, I'm not gonna tell the president what to do. I'm not a president. You know, as kind of, yeah, as the commander-in-chief, you have to follow law for order and so forth. But you, when you get an opportunity to express your opinion, you say, you know what, this policy we are embarking on is not the right one. And I saw the other side of it. The one thing that I came convinced about during my trips to Yemen more than once is that they don't bluff. When they say they're going to attack, that means they're going to attack. And I think the Israelis didn't, didn't take it seriously. And this is where you— when you have the defense minister Gantz threatening the Houthis, no, man, that's, that's, that's just, that's just nonsense. It's nonsense. It's because they are not going to stop.

No.

Now there is one key strategic question you need to consider, and the strategic question with all this development This is where my analysis comes in. Is that because— is Israel finds itself alone on the Yemeni front now? Because tell me, who is coming to Israel's aid right now? Nobody. That is why I said this few months ago, should this move forward in a different direction Israel will have to deal with too many fronts. Another word, the Hezbollah front, the Houthi front, the Iran front, the militias in Iraq front, and maybe some other groups elsewhere in the Middle East. Iran is wired in the Middle East, by the way. And this is why I am convinced that it became clear to, uh, Bibi Netanyahu that he couldn't, he couldn't sway, uh, Donald Trump to do another bombing on Iran, and Israel finds itself alone on the Yemeni front. And because what's clear is that the Houthis, the message the Houthis are sending is those missiles, they're not gonna stop. They are not gonna stop because they found out that the air defense systems are so weak. And here is the surprising part. You know what the surprising part is? That Israeli themselves They disclosed that the US THAAD system failed to intercept. That's a big blow to the US. That's exposing— exposing, I'm sorry, exposing the weakness of this so-called THAAD system that the Saudis went ahead and paid billions. United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, all those pathetic states went ahead and paid a billion dollars for those systems. It's not working. That's my— that's the message the Houthis are sending. And because now what you have, you have Israel that is alone and embarrassed at the same time. It's because now it becomes an issue of security for the Israel— for, for Israel with the ongoing strikes from the Houthis. So, you know, it's clear, you know, they're clear as daylight. These strikes that the Houthis are launching over in Israel are clear military and political messages, uh, to Tel Aviv. Straightforward. There is no ifs and buts, you know. And that is one of the reason why, if you think about why the Houthis once again targeted Ben Gurion Airport because it's a major facility, but they also wanted to follow through with their promise to shut down airspace for, for, uh, uh, uh, civilian flights. Because as I said, if you only know how many other international airlines carriers stopped their flights to Israel. So, so, and this is where again where the Israelis want to throw the Americans under the bus. Tel Aviv confirmed that the, the, uh, the, uh, the THAAD system, the American THAAD system failed for the second time in a week, and that is now sort of raising to the forefront the debate about the effectiveness of the system. I know it's costly, I'm aware of it. You know, when I was in the military, we used to work on certain systems, whatever. The cost of it is astronomical, and you also question the effectiveness of it. And that makes you wonder why the Israelis will release information like that. So, but I am confirming— I, I repeat this, guys— I am confirming that the, the, the RO-3 systems in Israel was able to intercept one missile, uh, from, uh, uh, uh, the Houthis. So this is what I need you guys to understand. So now I'm gonna play a clip for you to highlight to you, and this— I don't know if you're familiar with him, you probably would not. He's, he's a Lebanese, he's a retired brigadier general. I'm familiar with his background because He was at the US Air Force Academy. So we kind of— I was in a time when I used to know who's coming to certain bases, you know, including the Jordanians at the time and so forth. But anyway, Brigadier General Elias Hanna, very, very well-articulated guy. So, and I couldn't agree more with his assessment that what the Houthis are doing now is moving the battle to another level. Targeting the infrastructure inside Israel. And Israel is seeing this as this is a survival because they could be destroyed if this keeps going this way. That is why they are willing to save face by saying, you know what, we will consider. I think the government inside Tel Aviv leaked that information and wanted the Haaretz paper to go ahead and release that by only using the term consider, which means when you consider something, you are not committed 100% to it. But I don't think so. Israel government, Netanyahu, want to reach a deal behind the scenes with all three: Iran, Hamas, and the Houthis. So, so let me play a clip for you here, guys, and hopefully, uh, and I'll do a quick translation for you. Uh, yeah, first of all, I want to show you the scenes of when the missile was launched, and I'll, I'll do a quick translation for you guys. Share screen. There we go. Take a look, guys.— or take a listen, I'm sorry. What she's saying is that this is the beaches in Tel Aviv, few minutes prior to when the sirens came on following the launching of the missile from the northeast. The moment the sirens went off, you know, went on rather, a lot of Israelis were running, running out of the beaches there. And this is because of the missile that was launched from Yemen, which the Israeli army confirmed.

Fahrad.

Let's take a listen at the sirens. Oh, okay, guys. Oh, sorry, sorry, guys. So you got the idea. So this is again And, and, and again, it becomes clear as to why all of a sudden, because it is a sudden shift, you know. Once again, if you would have asked me a month ago, will Israel go this direction, I'll tell you no, they won't. But again, this is one thing I want you guys to understand about geopolitics writ large. Events on the geopolitical landscape forces governments to change policy, change direction, or embark in a new strategy altogether. And we are witnessing one of them right here. It's because it's become clear to at least certain voices inside the Israeli cabinet that the destruction is a foregone conclusion if, if a decision is not made regarding either an agreement or some sort, some deal of sort. But again, one thing that is certain, one thing that is certain is that Israel finds itself isolated when it comes down to the Yemeni conflicts because nobody's coming to the Yemen— to, I'm sorry, to the Israeli— I mean, Yemen, nobody's going to come as far as the pathetic Arab world. You all know they all are there serving. And that brings me to one particular point I remember And I'm going to share the excerpt from the book. I talked about this when I wrote the Iran book, especially for Egypt. That I didn't forget, because I knew back then that the possibility of something like this happening, it is a possibility. So, and this is why you're gonna have to, uh, think in terms of Israelis will not be in a position to extend their forces. I mean, they couldn't even defeat Hamas inside inside Palestine, inside the all the territory within, within, uh, Palestine and Israel, that is. So they couldn't. So, so what makes us think that they're going to stretch their forces all the way to Lebanon, their forces all the way to Syria, their forces all the way to West Bank and so forth, then deal with the Houthis? They can't. It's because Israel lacks the ability They don't have the capability to— it's not about firepower, no, no, no. It's the ability to connect, really, to connect all these fronts into one cohesive operations. So it's because Israel does not have experience with dealing with the strategic capacity in dealing with multiple fronts. Heck, we couldn't do it. If you remember, I had one question survey for you guys I did about 5 months ago when I asked you a question: can the US fight two multi-front wars? Most of you, majority of you said hell no, they can't. And it's true, we can't. I mean, we couldn't even defeat the— in, in Afghanistan or in Iraq or the Houthis themselves. And that is my point. So Israel, I just want you to, uh, be aware of this one. So this is where you realize that it became— now I think Israel, when he, when he embarked on this nightmare of fights and war and conflicts, they, they just were thinking of themselves, oh, we will handle this. They didn't count on the outcome, of how this could turn out. So because now what is this exposing is the Israeli Army's inability. Yeah, its inability to sort of, uh, uh, achieve any, any victory of any sort. Tell me if the Israeli Army was able to achieve any victory on any front. So yeah, I remember I told you yesterday about the 3 objectives of Netanyahu regarding the bombing of, of Iran targeting their nuclear site. None of that stuff, uh, was achieved. You know, the same thing regarding, uh, the, the, the Houthis. So, and that also highlights one aspect also, that, that so-called deterrence that Israel used to have, that upper hand, because of the, you know, they never faced, uh, sort of a, a force. Because are you going to worry about the Saudis, the the Jordanians, even the Egyptians, Syrians? No, no. But when it comes to Iran, when it comes down to Houthis, when it comes down to Hezbollah, Hezbollah, we don't hear much from it yet. That doesn't mean it's gone. Oh no, don't ever think that. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to talk to you about this, to prepare you for what lies ahead. Because Israel— I'm sorry, Israel now at a crossroads. Is going to have to decide which road to take, and each one of them has its own outcome. So one thing is sure is that it's been exposed as far as its deterrence. You know, the Houthis have exposed that and exposed it on two fronts: on the Israeli front and the— on the Arab world front. How pathetic the Arab world is. So So, and this is why when you think about the Israeli government now and the military writ large, because now they start to think in terms being burdened with failure. As a matter of fact, you have some Israeli soldiers now committing suicide. I just read one yesterday because both fronts, Gaza and Yemen, Houthis have exposed this weakness. And that in itself will have geopolitical ramifications moving forward. And this one has to do with one specific aspect, which is Israel's regional standing that is now being shattered, let alone their global prestige. Except that I'm finding out that an Indian company is the one now building the weapons for Israel to be used in Gaza, an Indian company. And I might, I might do a video for you. Of course, India, you all know where it stands, but it's not the topic for this conversation. So, so I'm going to end this with, uh, uh, an excerpt from my Iran book. I believe that's— yeah, that's where I wrote it. Uh, and again, as I mentioned Egypt earlier, and I did run the scenario, what if, what if Egypt will decide to go as far as considering nuclear aspects. And here is what I wrote: One can assess soon whether Iran will maintain this strategy or use its own platform, given the possibility of reintegrating into the international community following its historical nuclear agreement with the West. However, the question international security analysts and citizens in the West for that matter, are asking: Will the nuclear deal bring Iran out of its isolation and allow it to integrate into the international community, or will Iran continue to be a pariah? We are not in a position to answer these questions at this time. That said, Iran's support for al-Assad regime at the time, and non-actor states including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, will continue whether or not it reaches an agreement over its nuclear program. That is exactly what I wrote back then, and we are seeing all this right now. So hope you guys enjoy this analysis here. Let me, let me once again, I want to say thank you to those who've been supporting the channel, all of you. But I want to give my thanks to Ray, my, my friend Ray Kong. He's in China for by— for your generous donation in support of my Asia trip. I, I— once again, I am, I am speechless by your generosity. So I'm not going to disclose the amount, guys.

Uh, and, and John, once again, thank you for your kind words and support and the statements when you wrote supporting a noble cause initiated by David. I'm very, very touched by that. So, so to those who wanted to support my upcoming Asia trip, which, by the way, I'm gonna share with you a picture to show you where we are as far as fundraising. And here is the picture, uh, this is as of yesterday. I have to update it because of those 3 donations that I received. So we will be looking at probably now at about $1,800. Uh, here is the, uh, the amount that I'm looking at. The, the target number is $5,000. I dropped that from the previous one because that means Uh, there is not enough time to— unless again some major donor will be willing to donate $10,000, then if that happens, I'm gonna go to that particular location that I have in mind. Actually, two locations in addition to that. But for now, this is where it stands. Uh, we are out of $15,000. I am hoping we can reach this by literally the third week of August. So I will greatly, greatly appreciate if you could support the, uh, the Asia trip. Because once again, I am not going for tourism. This is for you guys, to bring you the facts from the ground on, right there when I'm there looking at with my own eyes.
