    IDF General Says What Arab Nations Are Secretly Telling Israel

    Arab nations are secretly telling Israel and the US one thing: "Finish the job. Destroy this regime. In this urgent strategic briefing, IDF Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi reveals what Arab Gulf states are saying behind closed doors — and it's not what you hear in public. While Iran retaliates against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the UAE after 10 consecutive days of US strikes, those very nations are privately urging Israel and the US to deliver the final blow to the Iranian regime. Avivi also addresses Israel's "very decisive" strike plans, the Hamas unit dedicated to hunting every October 7th terrorist, the IDF's growing manpower crisis, and why the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea is grounds for war. ⏱️ Timestamps: 1:00 – "Finish the Job": The Secret Arab Plea No One Says Out Loud 5:30 – Israel's Decisive Strike Plan: "Full Readiness to Bring It to Its Knees" 9:11– Gaza's secret Nili Unit: Hunting Every October 7th Terrorist 15:43 – Israeli Air Force Capabilities Compared to the US 20:28 – Red Sea Blockade: Why the Houthis' Actions will Start War 24:27 – Hamas will surrender in Gaza 👏 Join the Tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    World Cup’s Over. Will the U.S. Strike Iran? IDF General: ’We’re the Hunting Dog on a Short Leash’

    The World Cup has ended. The world is asking one question: will Trump finally escalate against Iran? IDF Chairman Brig. Gen. Erez Winner gives his unvarnished assessment — and the answer isn't what you'd expect. In this exclusive strategic briefing, Brig. Gen. Erez Winner explains why the United States is deliberately holding back from a full-scale strike on Iran — and why the current strategy of economic strangulation, Strait of Hormuz blockades, and targeted strikes is actually the most effective path. He reveals the "hunting dog" dynamic keeping Israel on a short leash, why Iran has already "passed the point of no return," and the one scenario that could trigger an all-out regional war overnight. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 — The World Cup is over: what happens next with Iran? 2:15 — The General's answer: why Trump WON'T escalate 5:40 — Strait of Hormuz: the blockade bleeding Iran dry 9:20 — "We're the hunting dog on a short leash" — Israel's role explained 17:30 — Jordan Valley briefing: security threats & strategy This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Israel’s Arab Sector Violence Is Now a National Security Threat

    Israel’s most dangerous security threats may not all be coming from outside its borders. While the world focuses on Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, Israel is also facing a growing internal security challenge: violence, extortion rackets, illegal weapons, land seizures, and organized crime—particularly in parts of the Israeli Arab sector. In this interview, Colonel Ronen Itsik examines Israel’s internal security paradox. Only around 20% of Israelis reportedly trust the police to deal with everyday crime, while more than 75% trust them to protect the country from terrorism and internal security threats. Why is confidence in the police so low when their counter-terrorism performance is viewed so positively? Is Israel’s police force equipped to handle a rapidly growing population and increasingly sophisticated criminal networks? Could illegal weapons currently used by criminal groups eventually be turned against Israeli citizens during a national crisis? Colonel Itsik also discusses the need to strengthen Israel’s police force, the possibility of establishing a National Guard, the dangers of expanding the army’s domestic role, and the lessons of the violent events of 2021.This is the internal security crisis Israel can no longer afford to ignore.

    Iran Is Attacking Everyone — Except Israel. Here’s Why

    Iran is striking American bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, the Emirates, and Jordan — but deliberately avoiding Israel. Ambassador Eli Yerushalmi reveals why Tehran fears the Jewish State more than it fears the United States, and what Netanyahu's next move could look like. In this wide-ranging strategic briefing, former Israeli Ambassador Eli Yerushalmi breaks down the most significant deterrence shift in the Middle East: Iran's calculated decision to strike everywhere except Israel. He lays out why the regime's memory of Israel's last strike hasn't faded, what Netanyahu's "beyond their imagination" warning really signals, and why the Strait of Hormuz may force Trump's hand — whether he wants war or not. 🎙️ Topics covered: ⏱️ 1:30 — Honoring Senator Lindsey Graham ⏱️ 4:15 — Trump's Iran Dilemma: "he has no choice but to attack" ⏱️ 8:45 — Netanyahu's Warning: "Beyond Their Imagination" ⏱️ 12:20 — Yemen vs. Saudi Arabia: The Forgotten Front ⏱️ 19:40 — Lebanon: Israeli Forces Stay Until Hezbollah Is Gone ⏱️ 21:55 — Turkey: NATO's 2nd Largest Army — the Next Enemy ⏱️ 25:00 — Qatar Exposed: "The Most Dangerous Enemy of All" 👏 Join the Tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Turkey Is NATO’s 2nd Largest Army — Now It’s Turning on Israel: Brig. Gen. Avivi

    NATO's second-largest military is building an axis against Israel — and Trump just handed them F-35s. Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, delivers an urgent strategic briefing on the most underrated threat to Israeli security: Turkey. While the world focuses on Iran, Erdogan is constructing a new geopolitical coalition with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia — and the US is unwittingly arming it. This briefing covers Turkey's naval expansion into the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia's double game, Israel's need for a dramatically larger navy, and why the next major war might be fought at sea. 👏 Join the Tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Hamas Commanders in Turkey: The NATO Ally Waging War on Israel

    Turkey is a NATO ally. Turkey also hosts Hamas commanders, launders money for Iran, and arms the Syrian proxies threatening Israel's borders. In this briefing, a Turkey expert from the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy joins IDSF to unpack Israel's recent recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey — and what it reveals about the Erdogan regime's true posture toward the Jewish state since October 7th. From Hamas terror cells exposed by the IDF and Shin Bet on Turkish soil, to US Treasury reports linking Turkish money launderers to Iran and Hezbollah's global financing network, this briefing maps the full scope of a NATO member's double game. The analysis covers Europe's strategic bind (needing Turkey's military while fearing its radicalism), the Trump administration's plan to anchor Ankara with F-35s and jet engines despite the Russian S-400s on Turkish soil, and Erdogan's ambition to build a Sunni bloc — with Syria as a client state — explicitly designed to counterbalance Israel. 📌 TIMESTAMPS 2:15 — Turkey's Post-October 7th Hostility: Red Lines Crossed 5:30 — Hamas Commanders Unmasked on Turkish Soil 11:20 — NATO's Strategic Bind: Can't Afford to Lose Turkey 14:50 — F-35s for Erdogan?

    Give Us the Excuse: Iran’s Regime Will Fall | Israel’s 3-Step Endgame

    Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi delivers Israel's most direct message to Tehran: "Give us the excuse to finish the job." In this strategic briefing, Avivi lays out the 3-step endgame for Iran's regime, why the historic Lebanon deal is a death sentence for Hezbollah, and what comes next in the Middle East. This briefing covers why the Lebanon deal marks the first time Beirut has formally recognized Israeli military presence and self-defense rights, how Iran's 47-year proxy network collapsed in three years, and what the "3-step endgame" means for the future of the Middle East. ⏱️ TIMESTAMP 0:40 — Historic first: Lebanon recognizes Israel's right to hold territory 2:50 — "Israel will not give up bringing down this regime" 4:20 — 🔥 "Give us the excuse to finish the job" 6:00 — Iran lost everything it built in 47 years — destroyed in just 3 7:20 — "An apocalyptic, crazy regime that wants global domination" 9:00 — Trump's legacy: bringing down the regime to save the world 12:00 — "In 25 years there will be 20 million Israelis — we must expand" 👏 Join the Tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Historic Peace: Lebanon Turns Against Hezbollah, Chooses Israel

    A historic deal just changed the Middle East forever. Lebanon signed an agreement with Israel — and the first clause recognizes mutual sovereignty and a willingness to live in peace. Brigadier General (Res.) Erez Winner, Chairman of IDSF, breaks down what this deal means, why Iran and Hezbollah fought desperately to stop it, and how it could expand the Abraham Accords to Saudi Arabia. This isn't about trusting Lebanon. It's about deepening the breach between the Lebanese government and Hezbollah — and between Lebanon and Iran. The General also reveals: • Israel's new "Peace Through Strength" concept — and how it differs from past failed agreements • Why the IDF will NOT return to pre-October 7th borders, regardless of withdrawal clauses • The Syria front — why Israel is staying on the Golan Heights and why Assad remains dangerous • Gaza's future — IDF presence, security zones, and what comes next for Israeli settlements • The strategic rationale: "When they don't cherish life, they cherish land"This is a Strategic Briefing from the Israel Defense and Security Forum.

    Leaked Audio: Iran Commander Says ’We Tricked Trump’

    We Tricked Trump: IRGC War Criminal Brags About Iran Deal National Security expert Or Yissachar, Former head of the IDF Research Institute, delivers a chilling strategic briefing on Iran's regime — militarily destroyed, yet diplomatically pushing along. As Trump pushes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war, leaked quotes from IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi reveal Iran's true strategy: "We tricked the Americans... Trump has no idea what he's doing... We are perceived as the great victors here." Vahidi — a wanted Interpol war criminal linked to the 1992 Buenos Aires bombings — now commands the very force negotiating with Washington. Yissachar breaks down why this deal is a "huge mistake," why Iranian regime change isn't imminent despite the regime being at its weakest point in history, and why the myth of Iranian "moderates" is a dangerous Western delusion. From Iran's crashed currency (1.7 million rials per dollar) to its Navy sitting "on the bottom of the ocean," this briefing exposes the gap between Iran's military reality and its propaganda victory — and why the West is losing the information war.

    Israel Defies America: We Will Strike Iran Proxies Alone

    Is the US negotiating a deal that will throw Israel under the bus? In this exclusive IDSF briefing, Brigadier General Erez Winner, IDSF Chairman, breaks down the emerging US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and what it means for Israel's survival. General Winner reveals Israel's three non-negotiable red lines: 🔴 Iran will not acquire nuclear capability — with or without American approval 🔴 Lebanon is not part of the Iran deal — Israel will maintain a permanent security zone in Southern Lebanon 🔴 Ultimately Iranian regime change is the only real solution General Winner exposes how Trump's push for an Iran MOU — driven by domestic economic priorities and a desire to lower oil prices before the Fourth of July — risks funding Iran's terror proxies with billions in unlocked oil revenue. Gulf states are "hugely disappointed." Netanyahu is walking a diplomatic tightrope, refusing to publicly attack Trump while quietly making clear that Israel's June and February strikes on Iran proved the impossible is now possible. Israel broke the wall that existed for decades against attacking Iran. That wall is gone. Key topics covered: • The US-Iran MOU and why Israel opposes it • Netanyahu's strategy to counter Trump without direct confrontation • Israel's proven military capability to strike Iran independently • Hezbollah's underground tunnel network in Southern Lebanon — built with North Korean and Iranian support • Why Israel will never return to the October 6th borderline • Gulf states' reaction to the MOU and Iran's continued strength • The case for regime change in Iran #Israel #Iran #USIranDeal #Netanyahu #Trump #Hezbollah #Lebanon #RegimeChange #MiddleEast #IDF #MilitaryBriefing #Geopolitics #IsraelDefense Join the tribute for General Avivi ---https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    440 Kilos at 60% — 4 Months From a Warhead: What the Iran Deal Means for Israel

    Trump Surrenders to Iran? 60-Day Deal That Will Haunt Israel

    US-Iran Deal: 60-Day Ceasefire or American Surrender? The US and Iran have reached a 60-day memorandum of understanding — opening the Strait of Hormuz, relieving the blockade, and triggering alarm across Israel. In this urgent briefing, Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of IDSF, breaks down what this deal means for Israel's security, why Iran sees it as an "American surrender," and the one lesson Israel cannot afford to forget. General Avivi delivers a stark warning: Hamas and Hezbollah will be emboldened, Iran will use any unfrozen funds for terror, and the window to decisively defeat the Shia axis is closing. He also addresses the critical question — is there daylight between Trump and Netanyahu, or is this coordinated behind the scenes?

    If Israel’s Committing Genocide, Why Is Turkey Fueling Israeli Tanks?

    Turkey is supplying the fuel for Israeli tanks — while accusing Israel of genocide. In this exclusive briefing, Jason Epstein of South Five Strategies exposes the contradiction at the heart of Erdogan's strategy: a NATO ally publicly condemning the Jewish state while quietly facilitating the flow of Azerbaijani and Kazakh hydrocarbons through Turkish infrastructure directly to the IDF. Epstein maps the personal rupture between Erdogan and Israel dating back to Operation Cast Lead, reveals how October 7th sabotaged a secret normalization deal, and explains why chaos in Iran terrifies Ankara more than Tehran itself. This is the strategic reality behind the rhetoric — a masterclass in Middle Eastern realpolitik from a former Turkish Embassy insider. 👏 Join the Tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Iran Fired 25 Missiles. Israel Destroyed Their Air Defenses. What Comes Next?

    Iran fired 25 ballistic missiles at Israel. Israel responded by destroying Iran's air defenses and crippling its petrochemical industry. Brigadier General Amir Avivi breaks down the strategic calculus behind the attack, why Hezbollah is on the brink of collapse, and what the next phase of this conflict looks like. In this exclusive strategic briefing, Brigadier General Amir Avivi reveals Israel's multi-layered response: the interception of 100% of missiles that reached Israeli airspace, the systematic destruction of Iran's newly rebuilt air defense network, and precision strikes on three petrochemical facilities critical to Iran's ballistic missile program and broader economy. The General outlines the path forward — including the case for renewing large-scale attacks on the Iranian regime, the blockade strangling Iranian ports, and why Israel is "ready to renew the fight" on a moment's notice.

    Crossing the Litani — Israel’s Race to Stop Hezbollah’s Deadliest New Weapon

    Crossing the Litani. 20 soldiers dead. 50+ wounded. The weapon costing Hezbollah under $100 is killing IDF soldiers every single day — and the Iron Dome's $50,000 interceptors weren't built to stop it. IDF Major Res. Yochanan Ben Yaakov delivers a briefing on the drone threat reshaping Israel's northern front.

    Autonomous Killer Drones Next for Israel — And the Iron Dome Can’t Stop Them

    $500 drones assembled like Lego can destroy a multi-million dollar tank. And within a year, these drones will choose their own targets — with no human involved. Dr. Roey Tzezana, PhD in nanotechnology and futures researcher at Tel Aviv University, explains why the Iron Dome became Israel's "technological sedative" — and what's coming next. He explains how drone usage was able to get ahead of the IDF's readiness and he discusses the next generation of drone threats could be deployed on the battlefield in just a year's time.

    Divide Lebanon, Conquer Gaza - Israel’s ”Unthinkable” Plan

    In this briefing, Yifa Segal lays out Israel's most unorthodox war strategy yet — including tactics borrowed from the KGB playbook, a plan to break up the Palestinian Authority, and why Lebanon's internal fractures may be Israel's greatest weapon. She argues that Israel is in a far stronger geopolitical position than before October 7 — but closing the multi-front war requires abandoning conventional thinking entirely. From "divide and conquer" in Gaza and Judea & Samaria to actively fueling Lebanon's internal conflict against Hezbollah, this is a doctrine designed to fundamentally restructure Israel's enemies from within. Segal also addresses why traditional Hasbara has failed and proposes a radical shift: stop trying to make the world love Israel, and start making them understand what they should hate about the other side. 📌 CHAPTERS 1:50 — Why Israel's Geopolitical Position Is Stronger Than Ever 3:40 — The Lebanon Problem: Hezbollah Must Be Removed 5:30 — Fuel the Fire: Pushing Lebanese to Confront Hezbollah 7:10 — Learning From the KGB: Creating Disorder Within Enemy Societies 10:20 — Divide and Conquer: Breaking Up Palestinian Power Structures 12:30 — Why Hasbara Failed: Make Them Hate the Other Side #Israel #IDF #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #IsraelDefense #Hezbollah #Gaza #Lebanon #KGB #WarStrategy #MilitaryAnalysis #IDSF #NationalSecurity #Iran #palestinianauthority Join the tribute for General Avivi - https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    The Rabbi Who Sends Ultra-Orthodox Jews to Fight for Israel

    Why won't ultra-Orthodox Haredim serve in the IDF? Rabbi Carmi Gross says the Israeli Army has completely misunderstood the reason — and he should know. He runs the yeshiva that's changing everything. Rabbi Carmi Gross is the dean of Beit Midrash Derech Hayim — Israel's leading Haredi hesder yeshiva, where serious Torah study is combined with full IDF military service. In this conversation with the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), Rabbi Gross reveals what the Israeli government, the army, and the media consistently get wrong about the ultra-Orthodox draft debate. His answer will surprise you: it's not about keeping Shabbat in the army. It's not about kosher food or mixed units. It's about whether Haredim see themselves as Israelis at all. In this episode: Why the IDF's religious accommodations completely miss the real barrier The deep cultural identity that keeps ultra-Orthodox Jews from serving Rabbi Gross's "bricks made of glass" metaphor — and what it reveals about Haredi society today Why the Supreme Court ruling on economic sanctions against draft dodgers may backfire The grassroots "quiet revolution" already underway inside Haredi communities What a new category of Zionist Haredim could mean for Israel's future With Israel facing an urgent need for more soldiers and a Supreme Court order on Haredi conscription creating political shockwaves, this conversation is essential viewing. #Israel #IDF #UltraOrthodox #Haredi #IsraelNews #IsraelDefenseForces #HarediDraft #IsraeliArmy #Judaism #middleeastwar This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    We Visited Israel’s Newest Settlement — They Said It Would NEVER Happen Again

    In today’s briefing, we visit the newly reestablished Israeli community of Sanur, located in northern Samaria. Just weeks ago, life began returning to this historic area after nearly two decades. Following the 2005 disengagement led by then–Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israel evacuated its communities in northern Samaria, alongside its withdrawal from Gaza. Now, new legislation has paved the way for rebuilding these towns, as Israelis return to the biblical heartland to renew a Jewish presence. In this briefing, Lt. Col. (Res.) Tal Nir discusses the revival of Sanur, the challenges of establishing a new community, and the evolving security landscape. He explains how military bases and outposts are developed—and why, in his view, the presence of civilians plays a key role in strengthening security in the region.

Avivi reveals: Why the US clearing sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz is a "defining moment" that strips Iran of its last leverage How the UAE and Saudi Arabia are bypassing the strait entirely — and what that means for global oil markets The game-changing pipeline deal that will route Saudi oil through Israel to Europe Why Israel's domestic energy independence is a critical national security issue How 40%+ inflation and a US blockade are destroying Iran's ability to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis Why the Iranian regime is on a "one-way ticket" to collapse What comes after — and why every Middle Eastern country will eventually normalize with Israel This is not just a regional conflict. As Gen. Avivi says: "This is probably the most defining war in the 21st century that will shape the global reality." #Iran #MiddleEast #StraitsOfHormuz #Israel #Geopolitics #IDSF #NationalSecurity This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Trump’s Iran Blockade: Will the Ceasefire Hold? Gen. Avivi Warns

    Trump's blockade of Iran is now total. Every port. Every tanker. 90% of Iran's economy — strangled. After 40 days of the most intensive air campaign in the region's history, Brigadier General Amir Avivi explains why the real war has only just begun — and why Iran has no way out. In this exclusive briefing, Gen. Avivi breaks down: 🔴 Why air strikes alone can't finish Iran — Israel and the US destroyed every military factory, sank the Iranian Navy, and hit petrochemical plants worth tens of billions. But Iran's ballistic missile program and nuclear sites are buried so deep, even the B-2 bomber can't reach them. The only path to victory is economic. 🔴 The blockade strategy — With 90% of Iranian imports and exports flowing through its ports, a total naval blockade means one thing: no economy, no regime. Gen. Avivi calls it "the toughest war you can imagine." 🔴 Why the ceasefire was a trap — The US-brokered ceasefire wasn't a pause — it was a strategic move to flood the region with American forces, replenish munitions, and seize permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran walked right into it. 🔴 What Iran must surrender — dismantling the ballistic missile program, shutting all enrichment sites, handing over enriched uranium, and ending all proxy funding. Nothing less. 🔴 Lebanon and Hezbollah — The IDF now controls 10km of South Lebanon and is closing on Hezbollah's last stronghold. The Lebanese government is quietly asking Israel for direct talks — something that has never happened before. 🔴 Gaza — the next phase — Hamas is rebuilding. But Israel won't shift forces south until Lebanon is resolved. Gen. Avivi lays out the sequencing.The US isn't just fighting for Israel. It's fighting for control of global oil markets, the petrodollar system, and a fundamental realignment of Middle East alliances. This is bigger than most people realize. #israel #IranStrike #IDSF #Geopolitics #MiddleEastWar #israelnews #idf #hormuz #charge This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    IDF Is Destroying Hezbollah Forever — Live From the Northern Border

    The IDF is aggressively targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon as the war rages on in Iran. Brigadier General Amir Avivi visits Israel's northern border to provide a first hand account of life on the Lebanon border, and the IDF operations in Lebanon. In this exclusive front-line briefing, Gen. Avivi reveals: 🔴 The IDF's ground operation in Lebanon — 4 divisions pushing Hezbollah north, destroying all infrastructure, and building a 10km security buffer zone that may extend to the Litani River (20-30km). 🔴 The verdict on South Lebanon — "No Shia citizen is going back without Hezbollah being completely dismantled." Gen. Avivi does not rule out indefinite Israeli control — or eventual annexation. 🔴 Hezbollah's endgame — a million Shias displaced, leadership eliminated, economic infrastructure destroyed. The group is fighting for survival, not victory. 🔴 The big picture — Why Gen. Avivi calls this moment a "huge, historical, biblical drama" — and what the fall of Iran means for Hezbollah, Hamas, and the entire region. 📍 Filmed in Metula, Israel — March 31, 2025 #israel #IDSF #Geopolitics #MiddleEastWar #israelnews #idf @lebanon This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.
