Did Hamas Already Win the War? | Col. Grisha Yakubovich on the TRIBECAST TRIBECAST with J.P. Katz

According to Col. Grisha Yakubovich Israel missed the opportunity to win the war against Hamas in 2007 when Israel did nothing to stop them from conquering the Gaza Strip. In this episode we deep dive on the perspective of Hamas, the Gazans and the rest of the Arabs living in Judea Samaria aka the West Bank. Col. Yakubovich spend decades in leadership positions prior to the intifadas and throughout. He served as a sort of "mayor" of Gaza from 2012 - 2016 and has since retired and works as a speaker and consultant initiative business initiatives in the Judea Samaria aka West Bank and Gaza.

This inside POV on the Gazan War illuminates a wide variety of misconceptions about Arabs living in Gaza and Judea Samaria (aka West Bank):
- Difference between West Bankers and Gazans
- Two States create economic tensions
- Hamas narrative is far more effective than Fatah's
- Dangerous cycle of rewarding violence
- Palestinians will throw Abbas in to the "trash bin" and make Sinwar a hero
- Mukawama is mistranlated as "resistance"
- Is the IDF allowing illegal Arab construction in Area C?
- Israeli's paid $500 billion in salaries to Gazan workers in 2021
- Hamas taxes everything for revenues AND legitimacy
