Right now, we do have history in the making. At
the Kanesset.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
You have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net Yahoo who is
addressing and now it appears introducing they're a dressing hostages
that have been freed that are in the Kanesset. So
all the hostages this morning have been released, all the
living hostages by himas to Israel. We do have this
history playing. Now we'll take you live now to the
(00:36):
Kanesset where Benjamin net Yaho is speaking, President Trump by

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Ari is an American Israeli who was injured in Gaza
while searching for Hamas terrorists and weapons. Two of Ari's
comrades were killed in this action and ten were injured.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Ari was presumed.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Dead, but made of miraculous recovery despite losing three limbs. Ari,
stand up for a minute alone. Stand up there you go, there, Ari.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Ari, you are the spirit of Joshua. You are the
spirit of David. You are the spirit of the Maccabees.
You are the spirit of Israel. I salute you.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
We all salute you.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Sabin Tassa.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Of Kibutsa Tivasarah is watching us today from the Israeli
consulate in Los Angeles. Sabin lost her husband and her
oldest son on October seventh. She is the mother of
three other boys. Two of them, Cohen and Shai, witnessed
(02:31):
their father jump on a Hamas grenade to save his
two sons. We all saw the film of those two
boys crying out in pain. Father is dead. Why why
did God save me? Mister President, my friend Donald. I've
(02:57):
seen some very tough things in my life, but I
couldn't bring myself to watch those boys suffering again. So
I didn't see this film except once. It's Sabine. Their
mother has had the strength and fortitude to show this
(03:20):
film across the world and my wife Sarah, and I
asked her, Sabina, how do you do it? Why do
you do it? And she answered, I do it to
show the entire world the monsters Israel is fighting and
(03:41):
the justice of our cause. This is what she's doing
once again in Los Angeles. Sabin, you can hear me now,
So I want to tell you on behalf of all
of us. You embody the spirit of our biblical heroines Deborah, Ruth,
and Esther. You too are the spirit of Israel, and
(04:02):
we all salute you. Mister President. You asked me on
our many conversations during the twelve day war with Iran,
(04:25):
You ask me, how are the people holding up? And
I said to you, our people are strong. ISRAELI is
our nation of lions, with unlimited resolve to defend our
country and secure our future. The people, the people give
strength to our soldiers, and the people give strength to
(04:46):
me and to my colleagues. The Jewish people have risen
from the Ashen's time and again. But when we formed
the State of Israel and the Army of Israel, we
pledged never again again would be defenseless against our enemies,
and that that resolute strength not only assures our survival,
(05:11):
it assures our future, it assures peace.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We have paid, We have paid a high price for
this war.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But our enemies now understand just how powerful and just
how determined Israel is. They understand that attacking Israel and
October seventh was a catastrophic mistake. They understand that Israel
is strong, and that Israel is here to stay. And this,
(05:41):
mister President, is the indispensable foundation of peace. Peace through strength,
Ladies and gentlemen, This is a momentous day, a day
of great joy. Is the remaining hostages come home. My
wife Sarah and I have met with the hostage families
many times. There were no words to describe their agony,
(06:07):
only tears of bottomless sorrow and unimaginable pain. At the
beginning of the war, I promised to bring all the
hostages home. Today, with the indispensable help, the determined and
focused help, the unremitting help of President Trump as esteem,
(06:29):
and with the incredible sacrifice and courage of the soldiers
of Israel, we are fulfilling that promise.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It has been a long journey to get here.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
In the first week of the war, our brave soldiers
put military pressure on Hamas, and the international community put
diplomatic pressure on them. This enabled us to secure the
release of over one hundred hostages. In heroic rescue attempts
behind enemy lines, Israel's special forces rescued eight live hostages
(07:11):
and brought back the remains of a dozens more. But
as time went on, we all know what happened. The
diplomatic pressure was turned on its head.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
More and more.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Governments bought into Hamas's false propaganda. More and more governments
succumbed to anti Semitic.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Mobs in their own countries. They just turned on Israel.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
They called for us to surrender to Hamas demands to
sleep Gaza immediately.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
They said, end the war without committing.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
To disarmed Hamas, without committing to demilitarize Gaza. At Israel
succumbed to those demands, not only would the Sinowa Nosralla
Asad and Iran's missile and nuclear program remained intact. Not
only that, because in no time the Hamas killers would
(08:04):
be back on the border fence, ready to repeat the
horrors of October seventh again and again, as they vowed
to do. But just at that point, just at that
point of maximum pressure on Israel, a man named Donald J.
Trump was elected President of the United States, and ladies
(08:33):
and gentlemen, overnight, overnight, everything changed.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Everything.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We fell it right now, mister President. Thanks to your
unequivocal backing of Israel, we secured a second hostage deal
within weeks of your election, and in the months that
followed we worked closely together to forge a path to
bring the remaining hostages home and end the war and
(09:07):
the war in a way that ensures the disarming of Ramas,
the demilitarization of Gaza, and that Gaza would never again
pose a threat to Israel.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Two months ago, you fully.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Backed my decision to send the IDF into the last
Ramas stronghold in Gaza City. You shared my view that
this military pressure would help free the hostages. And despite
all the criticism, all the nasayers, we were right. Ramas
cave it in, and two weeks ago you succeeded in
(09:43):
doing something miraculous. You succeeded in doing something that no
one believed was possible. You brought most of the Arab world.
You brought most of the world behind your proposal to
free the hostages and end the war. I want to
(10:06):
thank Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kushner, and Ron Jermer for their
great contribution to this effort, and I want to thank
(10:38):
our negotiating team.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I believe that the close cooperation.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Between the two of us, between our two nations, combining
Israel's military pressure and President Trump's unmatched global leadership. I
have to tell you I've seen a lot of American
presidents seen them all. In the time that I've been here,
and I've been here quite a lot of time, I've
(11:06):
never seen anyone move the world so quickly, so decisively,
so resolutely. As our friend President Donald J. Trumpton, with
(11:36):
our military pressure and President Trump's global leadership, we achieved
this historic moment. It's a moment of indescribable joy as
our nation embraces our.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Sons who are coming home. Mister President, this.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Week, Jews around the world, Jews around the world, they
are going to read the Book of Ecclesiastics. Cohelis in
the Bible. The Bible has many miraculous moments. One of
(12:16):
them was your decision to Bombfordeau. I think it was
a pivot of history because it wasn't meant only to Bomfordeaux.
That action and your previous action I've taken out custom Suleimani,
(12:37):
the architect of death. I think that changed the balance
of power in the world. You brought America back again
to the driver's seat.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I said that we're going to read this week the
Book of Ecclesiastes. It has it's not a book of action,
it's a book of meditations of thought, a perspective on
life and on death. And in this book we read
the immortal words of King Solomon. To everything there is
(13:23):
a season and a time for every matter under heaven
etmil Hramah the e Shalom. A time for peace and
a time for war. The last two years have been
a time of war. The coming years will hopefully be
(13:43):
a time for peace. Peace inside Israel and peace outside Israel.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You are listening to.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Live coverage of this historic moment with Prime Minister Benjamin
Net and Yahoo. As the hostages have been released from
Israel to Israel from Hamas President Trump standing by next

the Kanesse. President Trump will end up addressing the Kanessse
(14:28):
after Prime Minister Benjamin Net and Yahoo. We will bring
