    Hamas to Win in the Knesset What It Lost in Gaza, and Iran Is Watching

    Hamas and Hezbollah Could Win a Veto Over the IDF, Without Firing a Shot. Israel's election results are now official: no majority, and a record 19 seats with Arab parties. The next government may survive only with the support of anti-Zionist parties. In this November 5 briefing, Moshe Davis lays out the eight security concerns of including anti-zionist Arab parties in the next Israeli government. From the Iran campaign and the buffer zones to Hamas, Judea and Samaria, and the Qatar money probe, the outcry about the Arab parties is not about racism, or suppressing democracy, it's about security.

    Trump Cuts $4B to Israel & US Elections Results: What It Means for the Iran War

    Trump Cuts $4B to Israel & Democrats Take Congress: What It Means for the Iran War Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi breaks down Trump's decision to end $4B in annual US aid to Israel, why Israel asked for it, and what Democrats taking Congress means for the window to finish Iran. In this November 4, 2026 strategic briefing, Gen. Avivi explains why ending US military aid makes Israel more sovereign and self-reliant, how it boosts Israeli military industries, why the US veto at the UN still matters more than money, and why he sees a narrow window while President Trump is in office to act on Iran. He also addresses the US midterm elections, a Democrat-controlled Congress, and what it means for Israel's independence and security. CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Trump ends $4B US aid to Israel + Democrats take Congress 00:44 - Why Israel asked for the cut: sovereignty, not charity 01:10 - Big win for Israeli military industries and self-reliance 04:35 - US elections results: harder for Trump, Israel must be independent 06:30 - Why the US veto at the UN matters more than aid 09:40 - Narrow window to finish the job in Iran 11:00 - Israeli politics and the need for unity to win the war #Israel #trump #Iran #USElections #BreakingNews This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

At 18, Ari left New York for Israel to become a lone soldier — a non-citizen volunteering for the Israel Defense Forces.

Ari shares his own journey through basic training and language shock, what service in Beit Hanoun in Gaza taught him about Jewish identity, raising a son who now serves, and why Western immigrants who stay are building communities and contributing to Israel's economy.

    Will the Left Sit with Arab Parties to Decide Israel’s War?

    Will Arab Parties Decide Israel's War With Iran? Brig. Gen. Erez Winner on why Israel needs a unified Zionist government now. Israel is out of time. With Iran on the table, Hamas still not finished in Gaza, Hezbollah threatening from Lebanon, and attacks on Jews inside Israel, Brigadier General Erez Winner, Chairman of IDSF, warns that Israel cannot afford another election - it needs a government that can act freely and decisively. In this urgent briefing, recorded November 2, 2026, Gen. Winner breaks down why including anti-Zionist Arab parties would paralyze decision-making, what went wrong in the Bennett coalition with Ra'am, and why IDSF is now lobbying party leaders and launching a public petition calling on all Zionist parties to unite.

    Israel’s Election Result Nobody Expected — and What It Means for the War

    The polls said Netanyahu was finished. Then Israel voted — and the polls were wrong. In this briefing, recorded October 28, 2026, Brigadier General Amir Avivi breaks down what the Israeli election result actually revealed about the country, the war, and the decision now waiting on the other side of it. He explains why the pre-election polling missed the outcome entirely, how record turnout in Israeli Arab society reshaped the map, and why the numbers now leave both the Netanyahu-led bloc and the Eisenkot-led opposition unable to form a government alone. He walks through the mandate count, the soldier votes still being tallied, and what he argues is the only path left: a united Zionist government formed in the middle of a war. We also get to what this means for the Iran decision. General Avivi makes the case that President Trump needs a stable Israeli government to finish the job — against Hamas, against Hezbollah, and on Iran — and explains why he expects pressure from Washington to push opposition figures like Bennett, Eisenkot, and Liberman toward Netanyahu rather than away from him. Then the harder viewer questions: why even a small Arab party with seven seats can effectively control a government, what happened to the one Arab Zionist list that ran, and what the claims of vote buying in Arab towns actually amount to.

    Will Israel Strike Iran TOMORROW? IDF General Answers

    Will Israel strike Iran tomorrow or will Iran Strike Israel and the US? Recorded October 26 2026. As Israelis head to the polls in a highly contentious election, Brigadier General (Res.) Erez Winner addresses a critical question: Will Iran attack Israel on Election Day? With Israel potentially more vulnerable during the electoral process, could Tehran seize the opportunity to strike? General Winner explains why he believes a degree of deterrence is holding Iran back for now—and why that window may not last much beyond the days following the U.S. elections. He also outlines how Israel and the United States should approach the Iranian threat, examines the recent security developments in Hebron and the resulting regional lockdown, and explains why Israel needs to rethink its policy on Palestinian work permits.

    France Riots: Muslim Brotherhood’s Hand — and What’s Next?

    France is in complete chaos — and Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi says the riots are not spontaneous. In this IDSF briefing he lays out the coalition he sees behind them, how the Muslim Brotherhood operates across Europe, and what he believes comes next. Recorded October 21 2026. General Avivi describes a coalition of the left and Islamist elements joined together, driven by decades of migration — second and third generation populations who, in his words, do not see themselves as part of Europe or its Judeo-Christian values. He argues the dynamic changes at a critical mass: "critical mass can be ten percent, fifteen percent" — after which, he says, these communities become far more proactive. He points to France in complete chaos, the French right getting stronger, riots in Milan and Bologna, collapsing European birth rates, and draws the direct comparison to Michigan, California and New York. Then the strategic layer. He explains the Muslim Brotherhood as a global movement that does not announce its intentions — using taqiyya to penetrate governments and countries before taking power — and notes the EU's recent resolution against the Brotherhood. The General also shares that Prime Minister Netanyahu's new national security doctrine embraced IDSF's position wholesale, and names a Muslim Brotherhood axis of Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of Egypt.He also addresses whether the Shia axis and the Brotherhood axis could cooperate, the new Turkey-Qatar-Pakistan-Indonesia defense pact signed in Qatar, Saudi Arabia's choice between the UAE and the Israel-US camp, and Turkey's regional ambitions.

    Hegseth’s Secret Israel Trip: Is the Mother of All Bombs Next?

    The US reportedly has strike plans that include the mother of all bombs. Israel votes in 7 days. America votes in 14. So the real question isn't whether Iran gets hit — it's who gives the order, and when. In this briefing on October 20, 2026, IDSF Director of International Affairs Elie Pierpz breaks down the likelihood and the timing of a US–Israel war plan against Iran actually looks like, and why the timing is more imminent than many realize. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth flew to Israel in an unannounced visit to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Elie explains why this is so significant and what the secrecy signals about the next phase of the Iran war. Then: the midterm firewall. President Trump has publicly ruled out a strike before the midterms. Iran appears to be deliberately stalling talks to hurt him politically. Elie walks through what each side gains from waiting — and what changes on November 4th. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 The bomb that's back on the table 01:50 Why Hegseth flew to Israel in secret 05:30 What happens if Iran attacks first 08:50 President Trump does not make decisions based on polls 11:40 Netanyahu and Trump had different reasons for striking Iran 16:02 Trump's executive power after the elections This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.
