this is one of the largest mobilizations in the history of the country. right behind me is mobilization in action. you witness israeli reservists from all over the country flocking to a military base in the south of the country to begin preparations for the next phase of the military campaign. preparations are taking place everywhere. trucks loaded with ammunition, armored vehicles, thousands mobilized just 11 km away. gaza border, this armored personnel carrier unit that we see here is preparation for what the israeli people hope for, and this is possible ground operation, you can see here armored personnel carriers, about two dozen, as well as trucks of soldiers preparing for the new phase of the war. our team in southern israel has noticed a build-up of tanks or other military equipment. in areas around

the gaza strip on some of the roads leading there, it is also worth noting that the israeli military has issued a media advisory warning journalists against disseminating information about the details of the operation and the location or types of military equipment. israel also announced the creation of a closed military zone around the sector gas look at these densely populated streets, how narrow they are, the so-called battle damage assessment is a great video for this. you can see how much damage has been done, but look at how it is... look at all these buildings and imagine how difficult it will be to maneuver between them trying to get onto one of these streets, a lot of things will be delivered to this area, including shells, shown here on a cargo plane. one of the problems that arises when we talk about a possible ground combined arms operation in gas is that we must view it more as a hostage rescue operation than as a war. the israeli troops are somewhere in the middle, if they act too hard, but if

they act softly, the mission will fail, it is very very difficult, hamas knows exactly what it is doing, they know israel's policy regarding hostages, and that is largely really puts israeli troops in a difficult position. could hamas have used up all its ammunition and men? they haven't spent all their ammunition and men, they have a lot of ammunition for small arms that can be used on the streets of gaza, they have hundreds of thousands of volunteers and members of hamas and... will shoot at any israeli soldier who enters gaza, they may not have many rockets, but perhaps there will be a second wave, they they may not have many missiles , but as they did in the beginning, but they certainly have enough small arms, starvation and deprivation of weapons of war, this is a tactic that israel has been using for several days against hamas and the inhabitants of gaza, as a harbinger of the ground. israel has an asymmetrical

advantage in almost every way, both in manpower and in pure military power, but gaza is an unusual battlefield, and israel and hamas know this, look at these photographs, it will look like the siege of stalingrad, there are many places where people they could hide, there are a lot of snipers. the israeli army outnumbers hamas by at least 10 times, maybe more. it's hard to say for sure, but according to various estimates, hamas may have up to 30,000 fighters. israel, which has called up 10 times more reservists, has an army of about half a million people, they are well prepared. he has hundreds of combat tanks at his disposal. the gas sector is one of the most densely populated parts of the planet. more than 2 million people are crammed into an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers, but there is large farmland north of the eris crossing and further east of gaza city. the

same is true in the south east of khan-uus ir, where tanks can move freely to take up firing positions. israel has used these passages before and may use them again. hamas knows the terrain well, on test streets of cities, battles go from building to building. hamas knows where its most important targets are, has time to set up defensive positions, and is all supported by a vast network of underground tunnels. these are the tunnels that the israelis think they know, while israeli troops will move on the ground, hamas will move their hostage fighters underground without israel being able to detect them, there is evidence that some of these tunnels may lead to the southern part israel, which will be another nightmare for the israelis. we are located somewhere very deep under the gas sector, we received permission to film here after days of security negotiations. we were finally allowed to go down. they have built a vast

network of tunnels that can be used to move people and store weapons. there is no way to know if this war will end, but it doesn't look like the end is near. against the backdrop of an escalation of the conflict, the president of teranusia , the crown prince of saudi arabia , held telephone conversations for the first time, the main topic which the situation has become, naturally in the gas sector. and this video, which is being distributed right now by the al-qasama brigades, that is , the radical wing of hamas, accompanied by patriotic music, the militants demonstrate how their firing positions are ready, how they are launching their drones. at the same time, most of the video is about digging out water pipes from the underground, from which, as it became known today, the fighters turn out to rivet their missiles and

barrels for launching them, such a middle eastern trick or something. it is noteworthy that the water pipes themselves the gas sector was supplied from the european union, which means it’s inconvenient. well, tomorrow, friday, hamas declared a day of general mobilization in the arab and islamic world. a call to get up and go out? we have already heard in britain, france, germany, where demonstrations took place in support of the enclave, why. it’s simple, in europe right now there are about 40 million muslims living, while jews, even with a stretch, are 1 million. in this video, arab migrants, in particular, are tearing down the flag. israel on the city hall building in british sheffield. in paris today clashes with the police began based on support for hamas. musk sums up the results: if such trends continue, civil war in europe is already inevitable.

at the same time, western authorities are trying to unleash all the dogs on tehran. german chancellor scholz. today , iran officially accused iran of supporting hamas, but as usual, there are no facts to say. some data, well, that is, a so-so argument , because there is also some other data that hamas, in particular, was nurtured by israel as a tame terrorist against fatah, just as the americans created the taliban and isis in their time it’s been a long time, back in the late eighties in israel, they don’t like to talk about this topic, they try not to comment and blame tigiran for everything. late last night , president joe biden said iran should, quote, be careful. and it is said that this was against the backdrop of how the us handed out showed that iran's leaders themselves were surprised by the hamas attack on israel. this raises doubts about

whether iran played a direct role in these specific attacks. the us has not yet reached a final conclusion on this issue. american intelligence believes that senior iranian officials were surprised by hamas' brutal attack on israel. however, some government officials and lawmakers are convinced that iran has a direct role in everything that is happening. what is certain is that iran is the main hamas. exhibiting weapons, as well as technical and ideological support, and moreover, a huge amount of money. in 2020 , the state department said iran was giving $100 million annually to palestinian groups, including hamas. hamas and iran have definitely become closer over the years

time. iran is a donor to hamas, but at the same time it has no control over the actions of the organization and all this has nuances. for example, what do we even mean by the concept of straight? and emotions. when you say there is no direct connection between iran and these attacks, what do you mean there is no direct connection. i mean, from our information, from all the information we know, we know that the iranians knew about the hostiles. we also have no data on how they supported these attacks in any way financially or helped prepare the fighters, and these terrorists were certainly trained, we also

have no information that they in any way controlled their actions, on the one hand, the situation is extremely sensitive, because if there is evidence that iran had a direct role and it directly directed these attacks, then the government of israel and the united states will be pressured to resort to direct military action against iran, this is an extremely serious step and its consequences can be extremely dangerous, this will be a full-fledged regional conflict. obviously white. the house is concerned that iran could be directly involved in the conflict. it seems to me that we have reasons not to want

this to be true, which is not the case with israel. i think israel should also be wary of iran entering the conflict. iran has capabilities that smell better than hamas, but there is a big difference between indirect participation in the attacks, as the white house said, and direct involvement, if they are fully involved, then the question will follow: how do you... to this, what will be the response? israel, in theory, could strike iran, then the question arose: should the united states join, then this conflict could grow exponentially, and it will no longer be about the hamas proxy force in the gas sector, but about all iranian proxy forces, which is why the question iran's direct involvement in the conflict is so important, it will have huge consequences. intelligence agencies in america and other countries are studying their data to see

if they missed anything that pointed to the possibility of this major attack. but according to multiple intelligence sources, there are currently no direct links found between iranian preparations and funding and this particular attack. this is what everyone is trying to find out intelligence. while we have no real evidence that iran provided concrete operational support for this cowardly attack by hamas, it is clear to all of us that without iranian support over the past several years, hamas would not have been capable of these unprecedented attacks on israel, jubilant statements. while the iranian regime and some other government officials in the region are disgusted, tehran's leadership

is shamelessly showing its true colors by reaffirming its role in the gas sector. jake sullivan and other officials were asked directly about this, and he admitted that yes, hamas had received weapons and training over the years, but there was still no direct connection. we stated from the very beginning that. iran is involved in these attacks in a broader sense because it provided funding for the military wing of hamas. he provided training, weapons and other support. in terms of whether iran knew about the planned attack and directed it, as i stand right here at this point, we have no intelligence to support it. israeli officials agree with this conclusion. that is, they know that iran provides military and political support to hamas, but unlike american officials,

the israelis told me that iran gave the green light for this operation, perhaps they had no idea about the consequences at the time, but they knew that it was being planned, it cannot be said that iran was the one pulling the strings, but it was partly involved in it . qatar threatened to stop gas supplies to the west if the bombing of the gas sector did not stop, supplying how lng on the european market occupies the same share as moscow - 13%. at the same time, qatar is the world's largest exporter of lng, europe is simply not a key market for it, so the emirate can easily leave there, because the demand for energy resources is in the world is only growing, this year oil consumption will increase by 2.3 million barrels per day, a new forecast from the international energy agency showed. in general, the level of demand in the oil market is almost 102 million. barrels per day, by the thirtieth year it will increase to 116-118 mil barrels per day,

deputy prime minister novak said at the russian energy week in moscow. at this event, putin noted the importance of stabilizing energy markets during the transition of the world economic model to a multipolar one. the day before the russian president also signed a major decree obliging large companies to sell foreign currency earnings within the country. the requirements will affect the largest exporters of a total of 43 groups of companies; corporations will even have authorized monitoring officers who will monitor compliance with each rule. and the comma of the presidential decree. this, as stated by the central banks, will contribute to reducing short-term volatility in the foreign exchange market. the first results are already evident today. on the moscow exchange irano in the morning the dollar exchange rate immediately fell in for 3 rubles 72 kopecks. the value of the euro also fell sharply by almost 4 rubles. the dollar

fell below 96. the euro is now slightly above 102.5. banks expect that the strengthening of the ruble will continue, and the dollar will drop to 90 rubles, said the head of the company, german gref. let's see. the president of russia signed a decree on the mandatory sale of proceeds in foreign currency received by individual russian exporters under a foreign trade agreement or contract, said press secretary of the head of state dmitry peskov. the decree approves a list of such exporters are 43 groups of companies in the fuel and energy complex, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, chemical and forestry industries, and grain farming. the decision that was made, it can increase, in our opinion, it will increase the efficiency of the sale of currency on the market , increase liquidity in the foreign exchange market, and

smooth out short-term fluctuations, it is very important in this decree, it was also ours... that the measures are targeted, that is, they affect 43 groups of largest exporters, so for a large number of companies, small, medium, large companies that have a small share of foreign exchange earnings, they will be able to maintain the current approaches to the foreign trade settlement scheme, will this affect the exchange rate, but it has already had an impact, the exchange rate has strengthened somewhat, the deviation of the exchange rate from the fundamental one is in the range... from 10 to 15 rubles . therefore, in general, we still expect a stabilization of the exchange rate and a gradual decline in the dollar exchange rate at this stage, as we see it , somewhere around 90 rubles per dollar. the government spoke about the mode of implementation of the decree. firstly, for 6 months it is introduced mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign currency earnings on the russian market for individual

companies. the volumes and terms will be determined by the white house within 24 hours. secondly, a duty to provide is introduced for the company. russia and rosfinitoring indicative plan and schedules for the purchase and sale of foreign currency on the domestic market. the implementation will be monitored by representatives of rosfinitoring, who will be embedded in the company. the white house promises to adopt regulations within a week. the decree provides for temporary conditions, allowing the government to establish temporary nature of these restrictions. during this time , the effectiveness of this measure will be monitored. well. a new explanation for the failure of the ukrainian contour offensive was given today by the son of a part-time ukrainian kulak: the head of ukrainian military intelligence, budanov. answering a question from journalists about what went wrong with the nato plan for the armed forces of ukraine to return to the borders of the ninety-first year, remember, there was such a plan, the terrorist budanov briefly stated: we

are simply behind schedule. for clarification about that everything had gone wrong, budanov asked not to mess with him... at the same time, earlier this same ghoul in good faith promised victory over russia before the end of this year, but in reality , victory doesn’t even smell like it. on the contrary, russian troops improved the situation in the kupinsky direction, 10 attacks were repulsed in one day, losses in the ssu amounted to 280 military personnel. freshly published footage of the abolition of russian defense shows the destruction of armored vehicles of the ukrainian armed forces. the crew of the k-52 reconnaissance and attack helicopter destroys a ukrainian with a guided missile a tank trying to fire under the cover of a forest belt. well, there is growing concern in the pentagon because of their own promises, saying that weapons from us warehouses will support both ukraine and now israel, that is, there may not be

enough for everyone. the sixteenth meeting of western military personnel also ended without sensations. ukraine never received any commanders in the ramstein format, nor tactical attack complexes, nor multi-billion-dollar tranches. defense minister umerov ultimately calculated that the next brussels sabbath brought ukraine only $500 million, which, according to umerov’s predecessor, reznikov, will be enough for only 5 days of the war. the president of the russian federation also became enraged, zelsky declared that there was a war in ukraine. right now it has entered its last and most difficult stage, well, sluggish arms supplies will inevitably, zelsky said, give russia an opportunity. in short, ogonia!

the shelling lasts for decades. the shelling continues for several hours and in large numbers. the enemy has also adapted to the requirements of today, so our work is becoming quite difficult. work for us fold down, sip heavily. first of all, these are western models, this is a priority, they are trying to hit them , since western weapons are quite powerful, we are now near kleshcheevka, not far, just so you understand the intensity of the battle there, it is simply extreme.

mobilization is definitely needed, because people are getting tired, by the way, the idea of ​​suspense is a rather false idea of ​​society that the majority will sit out, and the part that is fighting will end the war, this will not happen, having such a neighbor nearby, we need to understand that for us for the next decade , the defensive direction should be a priority. but the number of losses is in the tens of thousands, a secret that is hard to hide when you see the number of flags on graves across

the country, more than a thousand just here in one of the many cemeteries in the vicinity of kiev. and so every day, these soldiers were given their last honors, they have graves, this unit travels along the roads of donbass to try to find their corpses, many of the guys i knew are no longer with us, they are now in heaven protecting us, protecting us us, a task that is almost impossible, but irreplaceable for their families, everyone understands that this is not the last. but the question for the ukrainians is how much more are they ready to endure? the ukrainian

president said his priorities are air defense systems and long-range missiles. zelsky also met with the prime minister of belgium, alexandre droz. meetings. is considering the possibility of sending f-16 fighters to ukraine. zelsky has been calling for several months to send these fighters to participate in military operations in ukraine. we we also heard that denmark is preparing to send several f-16 fighters, but the belgian side has already emphasized that the aircraft will not be delivered until 2025. the united states will once again lead a coalition of working nations. from ukraine over the development of its air force. and as we lead this coalition, we will closely coordinate our actions with ukraine and other partners, paying particular attention to developing the capabilities of the f-16 fighter jet. i am glad that denmark and

the netherlands will lead this coalition with us. i am also proud to announce that the united states will join several more of these coalitions as they take shape in the coming weeks. as for the atacoms missiles, there is nothing to announce at this time. we focused on what we think ukraine needs. the message that ukraine wants to hear is that the world must support ukraine despite the war in israel and that is the message that the us and the west have tried to convey. zelsky came here, as always, with a request to provide him with weapons for a counter-offensive, long-range missiles are critical the pv door system of the russian winter company, which is expected to be aimed at the critical infrastructure of ukraine. he also admitted that he asked westerners. my question was whether your support would be

less than it is now, that is. including during the election period in the united states. our partners say that everything will be fine and they won’t abandon us. but who knows what will happen? i don't think anyone knows this. even before israel , administration officials were trying to get their latest aid package through congress. ukraine. they have about 1,600 million dollars left for replenishment, that is, for replenishment. in the near term we have funds under the authority for both ukraine and israel, but you cannot start planning long-term support if you are in a desperate situation, about funding for ukraine we are approaching this situation, we have announced $200 million and

will continue to help ukraine so much, right now the bbc is reporting massive shelling from the gaza strip on two israeli cities and ashkilon. we have opportunity to contact israel now. the chief of our middle east bureau, sergey poshkov, works in azhdod. as far as i understand, it’s probably 20 kilometers from the gas sector, what’s going on? yes, hello, it’s true that ashdot is quite close to the gas sector, not 20 km, ashkilon is 20 km , azhdot is 40 km, but this is all a shelling zone for rocket launchers from the gas sector, so we arrive, and now a lot, we move around the cities and settlements of the south, we film military, filming volunteers, filming the wounded, filming the families of the victims and periodically falling under

an alarm signal, yesterday he found us in the city... where we were filming the hit of kosam, today he found us here in azhdod, here right above the city, several missiles of the ground and ground class were shot down at once, very loud pops were felt, the windows were shaking, several people, and we saw them on the streets, experienced a panic attack, a panic attack, and now we are standing at an intersection, you see, there are cars behind me, but they are standing exactly in the place where yesterday several police cars were blazing. from the gas sector, now here they removed the remains of the burnt-out cars, cleaned the asphalt, traffic was restored again, but people try not to go out into the street unnecessarily, since the shelling continues, despite the very tough work of the israeli air force over the gaza strip, hamas is still firing back salvos

in the center of israel anyway . in cities and towns located near the border of the enclave, a siren sounds and sounds, today a rocket hit a residential building in the border town of sdyrot, four people were injured, one is in critical condition condition and the doctors are fighting for his life, but here we don’t know what will happen, what degree of equality, that is , the confrontation continues, today is the fifth, sixth day from what this is connected with, damn it in israel, tomorrow, it turns out , the agency confirms, will hold negotiations with mahmoud abbas, in this regard , what are the prospects, well, obviously, they have taken a break, are gathering strength, gathering an armored fist,

several already. deployed near the borders of the gas sector, thousands and thousands of reservists brought under arms are being pulled up, in total 360,000 people were called up for military service in literally two days and almost all of them showed up at the recruiting stations, now volunteers are collecting everything they need for service, there really is a lot of it, and food and clothes, that’s what concerns the visit of distinguished guests, blinkin is flying in . on the one hand, of course, he discussed the prospects with netanyahu today, he probably asked directly and seriously what will happen next, will there be a ground operation, when will it begin, what do you expect to do after after how and if you succeed in eliminating the hamas group and the gaza strip, what will you do with these 2.5 million people who...
