Wow! Jonathan has just provided me with a strategic snapshot of the entire Middle East with an incredible granularity that I've not seen or heard before. His broadly and very personally "boots on the ground" experience-driven observations across the entire region expose a much more complex and strategically complicated view than I had previously imagined. His views, delivered in a staccato "machinegun" style, make learning from him a bit like trying to take a sip of water from a gushing fire hydrant! I realize that in order to fully comprehend the intellectual mosaic that he paints, I need to listen to this interview several more times with a map of the Middle East close at hand. My first fleeting exposure to his views leaves me a little bewildered and much more apprehensive about how Israel's government is to deal with the myriad of nuanced challenges facing it. It's only natural that we Americans who love and support Israel, demand simplicity in our strategic view of Israel's present dilemma, one which yields simple solutions. After listening to Jonathan's explanation, I'm not so sanguine about a quick and decisive rearrangement of the regional strategic balance as I previously was. I certainly don't envy Israel's political leadership as they attempt to juggle the perplexing strategic challenges arrayed against them. They must determine the correct military and diplomatic courses to pursue in Israel's immediate future which if skillfully executed have the best probability of achieving a new strategic balance in the region that ensures Israel's ability to defend itself while establishing a new era of peace and prosperity with its neighbors. We're all praying for that. I remain steadfast in my belief that Mr. Netanyahu is the best equipped politician in Israel's history to successfully balance the multiple challenges of waging war and managing Israel's raucous politics, while navigating the hostile waters of international diplomacy to his country's long term survival and flourishing. 🙏🐻🇮🇱🇺🇲

Thank you both for the most informative analysis I have ever listened to on this topic. Jonathan thanks to you I know far more of what is truly going on in the Middle East and why! Greetings and may God bless you both from the UK
the crusaders murdered any NON-roman catholics that they found along the way,,they were just as wicked as the islamic armies⚠️,,the the RCC is no friend of israel,,
The pinnacle of islams achievements and accomplishments ended about 5-600 years ago. It takes violent religious and extreme fanatics to regain that position in today's world.
To mi the 7th & 8th.OCT.2023 ISRAEL attacks by Hamas & Hezbollah respectively were indeed very big mistakes 😢 Who could ever imagine Mohamed Deif, Ismail Haniyeh, Ahmed Yassin, Ibrahim Biari, Razi Mousavi, Saleh al-Arouri, Marwan Issa, Mohammad Reza Zahedi, Nabil Kaouk, Ibrahim Akil, Ahmed Wehbe, Ali Karaki, Mohammed Surour, Ibrahim Kobeissi, Faud Shukr, & then Hassan Nasrallah could be dead by now😅
To consider Israel and the IDF 'soft' is extremely stupid and naieve. You're talking about one of the toughest forces. Underestimate them at your peril.
Oh please! The idf couldn't do anything without our govt and my tax dollars propping it up all the time. Remove our US support and political cover and see what happens.
@@Tobeesho sometimes you just need to act a little foolish to get anywhere.....but i also i see a idf force thats a little more calculated...the attack on iran recently come to mind!!!!
What a joke... All human beings are creation of God and He loves all of them the same way. And in a war that would be winner who prepared well and fought with bravery.
@@looking4true1nope … read ur bible. The Jews will get a double portion of blessing, and they are the ONLY nation that God made an everlasting covenant with. “Isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. “For I, the LORD, love justice” They are also the only nation that god stated “those that curse you, will be cursed; and those that bless you, will be blessed”.
You will not know the hour nor the time,but the Lord God of Israel, surely appear and He's rich extend, anytime, anywhere any place, than shall be fear and gnashing of teeth, HAM ISRAEL HAI❤️
Wow, that clarified so many things that I did not and probably still do not understand. Thank you for that. I’ve thought for many years us in the west do not understand this area very well, you have shown that to be true.
The question that we have been asking was why after the explosion of pagers and Walk tokies did Hesbola proceed to hold a meeting of high ranking officers at its headquarters? And how well paid are Hezbollah and Iranian fighters The kind of infiltration that is possible is likely due to money How easy was it to compromise the whole procurement? If pagers and Walk tokies procurement was compromised what else was compromised? So you can see the dilemma here
Hassan Albana The founder of Muslim brotherhood organization was major inspiration for ayatollah Alkhumayne islamic revolution Coup also , Muslim brotherhood provide the private plane ✈️ for Ayatollah Alkhumayne first flight from Paris to Tehran in 1979..
Persia (Iran) and Israel were historically interconnected during the reigns of the Persian kings, especially through key figures like Daniel and Esther. Their relationship during this period was one of mutual respect and support, with Persia playing a pivotal role in the survival and restoration of the Jewish people after the Babylonian exile. This connection is celebrated in Jewish tradition, and it highlights a time when these two ancient civilizations were closely intertwined. The ideological and political direction of Iran's clerical leadership has significantly contributed to the deterioration of relations between Iran and Israel, leading even the most revered figures among Muslims to become associated with agents of conflict and death.
Sheesh! I stress TOO much over just buying a new/diff. self-tanner or something> how difficult to use, way color/results will look... let alone, how expensive it is & what to do if things go wrong! I can't EVEN IMAGINE this state of mind! ⬆️
Listening to his genius, I don't think even the UN comprehend the danger Israel is facing, but fortunately Israel understands it, and she's handling it the best know how.
Anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to world history would know that Israel always answers with extreme force, the best intelligence and the most sophisticated and powerful weapons on the planet.
You are so right and it’s because Israel doesn’t have the luxury of losing. It’s enemies can lose many times but continue to live but if Israel loses once they will no longer exist so they are forced to act with extreme force otherwise they stop to exist
What's the point of having comments if you're censored for revealing info that's not covered by cloned narrative. That just hands over survival bias to Bots.
They expected ceasefire in lieu of hostages.... Now, most of the top policy making members of them are no longer in this world to see their miscalculation.... Allah-Hu-Netanyahu...
Once the fighting is over, Mexico and the United States were once enemies. "Forgive us our trespass as we forgive those that trespass against us." We are now friends. We flourish together like two brothers should.
Hezbollah and Hamas underestimated Isreal and what they were going into.They thought they wll beat Isreal in a matter of days .They were wrong and they cannot.
It truly disgusts me how anyone could actually delude themselves into pretending that one crime against humanity could ever possibly justify another crime against humanity. They all need to take a very long and hard look at their own "humanity". “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire
@@Tobeesho I wonder if this one will be censored when I mention any more about how common the recreational use of in daily lives can't say more or this will .
The guest has just informed us of how deceitful Iranian government is, Lebanon and Syria are being destroyed while Yemen also has her fair shares of their proxy actions.

Excellent information. Thank good. Every hope and prayers for Israel and the good people in Lebanon and Teheran.
I really like your last statement
A fine analysis from Jonathan with a fantastic 'geopolitical chessboard' perspective. Thank you Fleur for bringing him on as a guest.
This is the pinnacle of what Islam has to offer. It's no wonder we had the Crusades.
....it no wonder many Muslims are leaving Islam and becoming Christians, atheist, Zoroastrians and so on.
the crusaders murdered any NON-roman catholics that they found along the way,,they were just as wicked as the islamic armies⚠️,,the the RCC is no friend of israel,,
You are a fanatic. You should have to live during the Crusade!
The pinnacle of islams achievements and accomplishments ended about 5-600 years ago. It takes violent religious and extreme fanatics to regain that position in today's world.
@stevecarr6175 💯

Yes
Nonsense.
It's thoroughly biased.
Brilliant! He was so enlightening!
Amazing Analytical presentation by Jonathan - remarkable specially unraveling the complex geo political equations in the ME. Kudos !!👏👏

This is a great commentary . The facts are within the fingerprints.

They failed to realize that god will always protect Israel.
The Israeli that you are talking about isn't the one chosen by God but chosen by America to conquer the middle east
You are brainwashed

WOW! WOW! WOW! What an Asset. This man really made me to understand the politics in the region.
Wow Jonathan if only all the people in the Middle East could have this insight of what exactly happens with proxies of Iran in a country
Jewish minds are blessed by God of Israel and Jonathan is a good example. Best overall take about Islams weakness in the ME.
Who is this Jonathan? Very brilliant man indeed.
God bless Israel and her people. God bless PM Netanyahu and all his endeavors.
Mature and pure Journalism!
Good interview. Thanks to host and guest.
Great analysis! Thank you both!!👍🇮🇱
Very informative, thank you.
Long live Israel,the land of God,no one can beat the land of God,a land given by God not to anyone else but to the Jews of Israel
The question that we have been asking was why after the explosion of pagers and Walk tokies did Hesbola proceed to hold a meeting of high ranking officers at its headquarters?
And how well paid are Hezbollah and Iranian fighters
The kind of infiltration that is possible is likely due to money
How easy was it to compromise the whole procurement?
If pagers and Walk tokies procurement was compromised what else was compromised?
So you can see the dilemma here
very interesting conversation
Who aided and abetted Hamas and Hezbollah?
Iran obviously.
Passively the UN, EU, UK.

They didn't reign in their proxies. They rained in missiles in Israel.
Yeah but missed anything worth mentioning
Very interesting and informative discussion.
God is in control
Listening to his genius, I don't think even the UN comprehend the danger Israel is facing, but fortunately Israel understands it, and she's handling it the best know how.
Honest question. Why do some people call it Lebanese hezbollah and some just hezbollah
I think its to differentiate between the ones based in iraq/Syria and the ones occupying lebanon. I could be wrong though.
16:50 : We need a diagram / map here! :P
Thanks for the video!

Truly Allah ku netanyahu ku netanyahu
I like the conclusion Allah-Hu-Netanyahu.
They just were plain stupid as usual. They act first and think later! Underestimating Israel is not in issue here.
What's going on in New York at the moment?... absolutely nothing!
