Israel Prepares to Attack Iran, As Strikes Escalate in Gaza and Lebanon | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Israel Prepares Retaliation Against Iran as Strikes Escalate Across Gaza and Lebanon | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Israel's security cabinet is set to vote on its response to Iran's recent ballistic missile attack. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has vowed a “powerful and surprising” retaliation. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on a Gaza school has killed at least 28 people, with the military claiming terrorists were operating inside the building. UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon have also been injured after Israeli tanks fired on their HQ. As tensions mount, President Biden held a direct call with Netanyahu, though details remain scarce. Palki Sharma explores the latest developments.

A Call for Peace Peace is harder than war, but it's great. Do they understand? Peace poses a tremendous challenge, especially for Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, and Iranian militias. Have they become entrenched in war, bloodshed, and strife, exploiting the pretext of liberating Al-Aqsa Mosque, which Israel safely protects? Israel's strength and commitment to peace will prevail over those claiming righteousness. Prime Minister Netanyahu believes in peace's transformative power and its ability to rectify the world. As Israel's leader, Netanyahu is dedicated to extending an olive branch to Palestinians, undeterred by efforts to perpetuate division and hostility. His pledge: Israel will never harm regional countries. This noble commitment debunks fallacies spread by those seeking division. Will they understand? The State of Israel is a neighboring state and will be a support and aid to the countries of the region. The peoples of the region will benefit from the progress and prosperity of the State of Israel. I believe peace is possible if we renounce violence and hatred and promote love and peace through education and media. We must stop referring to 'the Zionist enemy' or 'occupied Israel' in sermons and lectures. Instead, we should focus on spreading love, peace, and coexistence. Israel, blessed by God, is the land of prophets and civilization. Through this, peace will be achieved, and security will prevail." Adam 😊

When americans are actually on the ground fighting side by side with Israel as a real ally should then they can start asking for plans.An old friend of mine ex SAS told me that on joint ops the yanks were always cocking things up.Said you have more chance of being killed by the americans than by the enemy.He was a smallish guy hellishly tough ..from a poor lancashire home.Iam 6 foot 2 and at that stage a strong outdoor South African but I would not liked to have been in a fight with him or his brother( ex legionaire....the legionaire part never bothered me...its just that this guy had been tough from childhood), As far as I know he later died in Angola fighting for Jonas Savimbi.Anyway my SAS friend never talked much about their operations and I respected that as loose talk could compromise the guys...but when him and him and his brother got pissed I could hear them from my room and picked up a lot of stuff that one would not normally hear...he was the real deal allright and what he said about American troops without all their huge backup made me realise that they are do not at all live up to their hype.
