  1. Number 1: Great News From Washington

    Could major change finally be coming to Washington’s Middle East policy?According to reporting cited by Laura Loomer, senior State Department officials reportedly want U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Syria envoy Tom Barrack removed, and Barrack has allegedly been called back to Washington for “consultations.” Israel Hayom quoted Loomer citing a State Department source saying, “We want him gone so badly.”There has been no official announcement that Barrack has been fired, so hope must not be confused with confirmed fact. But his own statements raise serious questions about whose interests he has been advancing.Barrack declared that America’s interests and those of Syrian ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly al-Qaeda commander Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, are “exactly the same today.” He described Sharaa’s vision as “soft Islam,” while pressuring America’s Kurdish allies to surrender their autonomy to Damascus.Barrack has also repeatedly promoted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He argued that America should give Erdoğan the “legitimacy” he needs and supported reconsidering Turkey’s participation in the F-35 program, despite Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 system and Erdoğan’s support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.Barrack even referred to Israel as “occupying” the Golan Heights, despite President Donald Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty there, before later walking back his remarks.American diplomats must pursue American interests, not legitimize jihadists, excuse Erdoğan’s ambitions, abandon Kurdish allies or pressure Israel for defending itself.President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio understand the threat posed by jihadist ideology and the Muslim Brotherhood network. Hopefully, they are now asking whether Tom Barrack belongs in such an influential position.Watch, share and help expose the truth. America deserves diplomats who put America first, and America’s genuine allies deserve nothing less.Strengthen your faith in Hashem and stand with Pulse of Israel.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/

  2. Number 2: Did Israel Save Trump's Life? The Shocking Iran Assassination Plot

    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/

  3. Number 3: Trump's 15 Point Gaza Plan Is a Disaster

    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/

  4. Number 4: Muslim Diplomatic Deception Exposed: The Strategy Muhammad Perfected 1,400 Years Ago

    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.

  5. Number 5: Gaza emigration, Ben-Gvir, Rafah, Egypt, October 7, and Israel’s Gaza strategy

    Interior Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir just put Gaza emigration at the center of Israel’s election debate, declaring: “It is time to admit it: Gandhi was right.”He was referring to former Israeli general and minister Rehavam “Gandhi” Ze’evi—and unveiling his new Gaza emigration proposal, “Disengagement 710.”Ben-Gvir deserves credit for forcing Israel to confront a question almost everyone avoided before October 7: What happens to Gaza after this war, and how does Israel guarantee that another October 7 massacre can never happen?His plan reportedly envisions encouraging the jihadi Gazans to voluntarily emigrate, establishing a dedicated government ministry, negotiating with destination countries, and providing financial assistance for relocation.I support putting voluntary Gaza emigration on the table.But Israel cannot wait seven years.In this video, I explain why I believe the United States should use its enormous leverage with Egypt to push Cairo to open the Rafah crossing to Gazan civilians who voluntarily want to leave the war zone.Get civilians who want to leave out of the battlefield. Allow the IDF to defeat the remaining Hamas and jihadist forces. Permanently demilitarize Gaza. Maintain Israeli security control so Gaza can never again become a terrorist army sitting alongside Israeli communities, and make Gaza Jewish again.For decades Israel was sold different versions of the same failed strategy: withdrawals, deterrence, economic incentives, stronger fences and “managing Hamas.”October 7 shattered that conception.The Gaza debate must now be about solutions that prioritize Israeli lives and prevent another massacre, not rebuilding the conditions that produced October 7.Ben-Gvir has started an important conversation.Now Israel must decide how quickly it is prepared to act.Gaza emigration. Rafah. Egypt. Hamas. October 7. Israeli security. The future of Gaza.Watch, share, and join the conversation.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/
