Video Infoblog with Transcript: Two Israeli War Cabinet Ministers Resign!
Transcript
0:00
uh War cabinet ministers have resigned
0:02
the most important one is Benny gance
0:05
former Chief uh of staff for the Israeli
0:07
military Former Defense Minister and one
0:10
of the three voting members of the war
0:11
cabinet this has huge implications now
0:15
it could be great
0:16
news but unfortunately it could also be
0:19
bad news for reasons that I'm going to
0:21
explain uh but that's not all on top of
0:24
that uh Brigadier General AI Rosenfeld
0:26
the commander of Israel's military
0:29
Israel military
0:30
Gaza division has also resigned now
0:34
that's a a lot of resonation shaking up
0:36
the Israeli government in a moment that
0:37
it definitely needs shaking up is it
0:39
going to make a difference and why did
0:41
they resign so number one on uh
0:44
Rosenfeld he that one it doesn't appear
0:46
to be political as far as I can see I
0:48
don't know you know micr level details
0:52
of Israeli uh military and political
0:54
operations but uh he's saying that he
0:57
quote failed in his life's mission to
1:00
defend Israeli communities bordering
1:02
Gaza so that sounds like that's a
1:06
pretty honorable thing to do for a
1:09
military guy who doesn't have to say
1:11
that like has Netanyahu ever said that
1:14
he failed to protect Israelis no of
1:16
course not uh and he doesn't acknowledge
1:19
it he says oh we'll talk about it after
1:20
the war is over but it doesn't look like
1:22
he's ever planning to end the war so
1:24
that's his way of avoiding
1:25
responsibility whereas General Rosenfeld
1:28
here is accepting responsibility
1:30
and stepping down as far as I can tell
1:32
it doesn't look like a political move
1:34
and and and whenever anyone takes
1:36
responsib look obviously I'm not going
1:38
to uh I got no love for anyone in the
1:41
IDF is not especially look the lower
1:43
level soldiers are you know I've seen
1:46
some of the videos awful Etc but a lot
1:48
of them are drafted you don't know who
1:50
agrees with the war who doesn't agree
1:52
with the war leadership is what matters
1:54
so leader he's leadership in the IDF so
1:57
you know I'm I'm never going to defend
1:59
him as a human being but this particular
2:02
move seems to be honorable so that for
2:04
what it's worth now the much more
2:06
important stuff is Benny Gans and then
2:08
the second minister is also from the
2:09
same party Gotti eisenkot uh he was also
2:13
part of the war cabinet but he did not
2:15
have a a vote there's voting members and
2:18
non- voting members and there was only
2:19
three voting members Benjamin Netanyahu
2:21
Benny gance who just resigned and yov
2:24
Galant who is defense minister so Galant
2:27
is enormously important here in this
2:29
equation we're going to come back to him
2:30
as well so now when gance
2:34
resigns it is is he likely to run
2:37
against Netanyahu later yes is he the
2:40
more moderate person yes is he a
2:43
moderate in the scope of the world not
2:45
at all everyone in the war cabinet is in
2:48
my opinion massively right-wing and just
2:51
killed 36 37,000 people without blinking
2:54
an eye so I have absolutely no love for
2:58
Benny gance so that he's gonna have to
3:02
live with that shame for the rest of his
3:04
life later they'll make it seem like he
3:06
resigned early on he didn't and we know
3:10
of course when Hamas attacked was
3:11
October 7th here we are in the middle of
3:14
June so for six seven eight nine brutal
3:18
months depending on how you count
3:20
depending on when you think you could
3:22
arue that this conflicts has been going
3:24
on for 57 or 75 years but anyway you get
3:26
it for all of these months Benny gance
3:29
participa in the massacres and the
3:30
Slaughters so he's no one's Dove he was
3:33
again the chief of the military for uh
3:37
Israel and he was also the defense
3:39
minister so having said that among
3:43
these horrible set of politicians
3:47
including benav smotrich who are on the
3:49
cabinet generally but not in the war
3:51
cabinet but are far right and have
3:53
pushed for well literal ethnic cleansing
3:56
they have not been subtle about it
3:58
they've said let's push the Palestinians
4:00
out of the Gaza Strip and take the Gaza
4:01
Strip so and and Ben gavier is convicted
4:05
of supporting terrorism so there's like
4:08
literal terrorists in the Israeli
4:10
cabinet even before what they've done to
4:12
Gaza but the two giant factors in Benny
4:16
gance's uh departure are number one is
4:20
it going to take down the government and
4:22
then number two is it going to take the
4:25
remaining government and make it more
4:26
moderate or more right-wing and vicious
4:29
so so I'm going to answer those first
4:30
chatl uh thank you uh for the Super Chat
4:34
I appreciate you guys you know and he
4:36
mentioned this is off hours you know we
4:38

4:48

4:50
Eastern but on top of that obviously
4:52
we're funded by the members uh so hit
4:56
the join button below if you can if you
4:58
could want to contribute or become a
4:59
member through tyt.com team that's
5:01
amazing we appreciate it but for now you
5:03
can keep it simple just hit the join
5:04
button and it allows us to do honest uh
5:08
news coverage just like this tell you
5:09
the reality of it right now if you turn
5:11
on mainstream media they make Benny
5:13
gance look like an angel he's not
5:14
anywhere near an angel okay but he is
5:16
relevant so let's go back to why he's
5:18
relevant so if he had left the
5:20
government and since it's a
5:22
parliamentary system he had taken away
5:24
enough uh members of the majority the
5:27
government would dissolve and they would
5:28
have to have election
5:30
right now that would be awesome because
5:32
Netanyahu is unpopular and he would lose
5:35
the elections unfortunately Benny y's
5:38
party does not have enough members in
5:41
the knesset for them to be able to take
5:43
down the government so uh nanyo and his
5:46
far right-wing uh allies uh he's got
5:49
three far right-wing governments uh
5:52
parties I should say and two ultra
5:54
Orthodox parties that are still part of
5:55
his government and they have 64 out of
5:57
120 seats so they will be able to stay
6:00
in power even with Benny gance
6:03
leaving is that the end of the story not
6:05
exactly uh but hold first dese thank you
6:09
for being a member we appreciate it uh
6:11
you guys are the best again you don't
6:14
get honest coverage like this if we
6:15
don't have enough members to support the
6:17
show and this is super tough times for
6:19
digital media so we appreciate all of
6:21
our members okay so gance uh within this
6:27
parade of horribles was uh the more
6:30
moderate voice now since he didn't take
6:32
down the government the government can
6:35
stay if they choose to if no one else
6:38
leaves the government leaves the
6:39
government till October of
6:43
2026 so Netanyahu can stay around to
6:46
haunt us for all this time and now that
6:50
the so-called most moderate member of
6:52
the cabinet has left or the two most uh
6:55
moderate have left
6:59
now we it gives an incentive for
7:02
Netanyahu to stay longer and to stay all
7:06
the way to October 2026 because if the
7:07
elections were held today Netanyahu
7:09
would lose and his primary opponent
7:10
would be Benny yance and Benny yance is
7:13
popular right now in Israel partly
7:15
because he's not a dove he says is a
7:17
hawk but he wants to actually get to a
7:20
resolution so let me tell you why he
7:21
left the three things that he states are
7:24
number one uh Netanyahu has will not do
7:27
the deal for releasing of all the other
7:29
hostages they just uh captured uh and
7:33
and saved four hostages that's great
7:35
that they saved the four hostages I'm
7:37
thrilled to hear that but as they were
7:39
doing it they killed 200 people that's
7:43
what the Gaz and& Health Ministry is
7:44
reporting uh the Israeli Defense Forces
7:46
are saying at least 100 so given the
7:49
track record of both of those uh
7:51
organizations more likely to be closer
7:53
to 200 it's still early on so that we
7:55
don't have a final number would I have
7:57
killed 200 people to save four
8:00
as much as I want to save those four
8:01
with all my heart no I'm not going to
8:03
kill 200 people to save four you would
8:06
only do that if you think the other 200
8:08
lives are worthless irrelevant and
8:11
that's what the Israeli cabinet thinks
8:12
of Palestinians they don't think they're
8:14
human beings so they think we killed 200
8:16
flies to rescue four human beings who
8:19
cares about killing those
8:21
nonhumans and some of them have said
8:23
things like that uh the benav ETC of the
8:26
world so okay but that's a different
8:30
topic thrilled that at least four
8:32
hostages are home and disgusted as usual
8:35
that they killed hundreds to get there
8:37
um Jason Kyle masso thank you for
8:39
joining it uh we appreciate you so guys
8:44
you know I've said this a hundred times
8:45
you got somebody did something terrible
8:47
to people I know there's and and and
8:51
they even have four of them they're in a
8:52
room and we can go get them but I have
8:54
to murder 200 people to get there look
8:57
but the ones who are Hamas that are
8:58
protecting them that's part of the
9:00
combat no problem if they got a giant
9:02
gang that's protecting the four in there
9:04
we have to kill some of them to get the
9:05
hostages no problem but if I to kill
9:08
aund 50 whatever the number is civilians
9:11
I'm not gonna do that because that's
9:14
saying the people I care about are more
9:16
important their lives are more important
9:18
than 200 other lives that's not fair
9:21
okay but anyways Benny gance says yeah
9:24
we got the four but there's still 116
9:26
left they're both alive and
9:28
unfortunately some have passed away but
9:29
we've got to get them all back so that's
9:31
his first point uh and by the way
9:33
Patricia thank you for joining lady fuk
9:35
and te thank you for gifting five young
9:37
T memberships you guys are amazing we do
9:39
this show together his second point is
9:43
okay we've got to have some sort of plan
9:45
for what we do after the war and
9:49
Netanyahu has never presented a plan has
9:51
not only publicly but remember Benny
9:53
Gant is most inner core of the
9:55
government until today he was in voting
9:59
of this early War cabin there's only
10:00
three people like that in the whole
10:02
country now two right and so it's
10:04
obvious Netanyahu has never presented a
10:06
plan to anyone after the war one of the
10:09
reasons might be because he doesn't plan
10:11
on ever ending the war so he's uh gance
10:17
says well you gotta have some plan we
10:19
got to get the hostages back you have to
10:21
have a plan for what the hell we're
10:22
going to do with Gaza it's insane this
10:24
late in to not have any plan at all for
10:27
what you're going to do with Gaza and of
10:29
course Netanyahu does have a plan it's
10:31
just a nefarious plan that's why he
10:33
doesn't even state it to the giant Hawks
10:35
whove helped him kill 36 37,000 people
10:38
in Gaza he won't even state it to them
10:40
that's how nefarious it is and then the
10:43
third thing is Benny says we got to get
10:44
this peace for the Israeli people at
10:46
some point in our lives we got to make a
10:49
deal where we talk to the Saudis the
10:51
Palestinians the Americans the Europeans
10:53
Etc and come up with the best possible
10:55
plan for Israel and the occupied
10:58
territories and Netanyahu obviously
11:00
hates that he's promised that there will
11:02
never be a Palestinian state so if there
11:04
was an election today and I got to
11:05
decide between Gans and Netanyahu that's
11:07
a no-brainer I'm def for gance is not an
11:10
angel not a good guy but he's infinitely
11:12
better than Netanyahu the question is
11:14
whether we're ever going to get to make
11:16
that choice is and of course we're not
11:18
relevant the Israeli citizens are
11:19
relevant whether they're going to get to
11:21
make that choice I'm G to tell you a
11:22
dirty move that Netanyahu already did to
11:24
G it's amazing gives you a sense of who
11:26
Netanyahu is first the anti corporates
11:29
thank you for joining uh and yes they
11:32
could get all the capts back without
11:34
killing anyone if they just sign the
11:36
peace deal Biden claims it was their
11:38
peace deal in the first place I don't
11:39
know if that's true or untrue but they
11:41
won't sign it Hamas said there they
11:43
really like the peace deal publicly
11:45
though they won't say yes until Israel
11:47
says yes so who's blocking it it appears
11:50
by all accounts to be Netanyahu who's
11:54
blocking his so-called government's own
11:57
peace plan if you believe byid but one
11:59
is for one thing is for sure it's
12:01
definitely blocked okay so uh Travis
12:04
Jennings thank you for joining we
12:06
appreciate you so much the blue Lounge
12:09
um thank you for uh donating through
12:11
Super Chat we appreciate all you guys
12:13
all right finally on the old days uh
12:16
there in a previous election not that
12:19
long ago uh Netanyahu and gance had to
12:22
make a joint government otherwise they
12:24
wouldn't have enough uh ma seats in the
12:27
canet you have to have a majority um and
12:30
when they did they did a a power sharing
12:33
deal where they would both get to be
12:34
prime ministers just at different times
12:36
Netanyahu would go first and then Benny
12:37
yance would go second so Netanyahu went
12:39
first and then he tanked the budget so
12:43
that they couldn't possibly get a new
12:44
government without a new budget so they
12:47
had to dissolve the government and Benny
12:50
gance never got his turn Netanyahu is a
12:53
snake of all snakes he's one of the
12:56
worst human beings on the planet
12:59
Benny gance has been screwed over by him
13:01
already the Israelis have been screwed
13:04
over by him the hostages have and let
13:06
alone the poor poor Palestinians and all
13:09
of the horrible war crimes he's
13:11
committed against them so Israel
13:13
desperately needs new elections but now
13:16
with Benny gance out of the war cabinet
13:19
there's only ghouls and goblins and yoab
13:21
Galant and again I've got him in a
13:23
similar category as Benny gance not as
13:25
bad as the other guys not remotely a
13:27
good guy he's the only potential
13:30
slightly moderating voice in an
13:33
otherwise
13:35
horrific
13:36
extreme right-wing government so God
13:40
help us I get to my conclusion in a
13:41
second Ken Johnson thank you so much uh
13:44
for the Super Chat uh Peter Rodriguez
13:46
thank you so much uh for the Super Chat
13:49
you guys keep us going it's not an
13:52
exaggeration 1% almost all of digital
13:54
media has collapsed and gone under we're
13:57
hanging on because because we have
13:59
enough of you guys to support us we
14:01
don't have the giant corporations
14:03
backing us at all all we have is you
14:05
guys but combined you're stronger than
14:07
all of them that's why all the other
14:08
companies have gone under and we haven't
14:10
so please get us through this year we
14:12
appreciate anybody who can join or
14:14
donate we appreciate last thing guys at
14:17
the end of all of this having read all
14:20
the details of this resignation Benny
14:23
gance's right to resign his reasons for
14:25
resigning are correct but since he can't
14:28
dissolve the government by resigning I'm
14:31
now super worried that nyaho is going to
14:34
continue this war until the next
14:36
election that's scheduled which is
14:39
October of
14:43
2026 I don't know what other moderating
14:46
influences left in that cabinet so if he
14:51
takes the peace deal Ben gavier smot say
14:54
they're going to leave the government
14:56
which would dissolve the government if
14:57
it dissolves the government
14:59
then you have an election between Benny
15:01
gance and Netanyahu and gance probably
15:03
wins Netanyahu loses and this will
15:04
probably be the last time I mean I know
15:06
he's like Rasputin and he's impossible
15:08
to get rid of but this probably would be
15:10
the last time if he loses to Benny but
15:12
since he knows that now he might think
15:15
well in order to preserve myself I have
15:16
to cater to these lunatic Ben I mean
15:19
he's he agrees with them anyway so it's
15:21
not like wow I have to cater so much to
15:23
benir smotrich he largely agrees with
15:25
them but he would go in that extreme
15:27
extreme Direction and
15:31
They Don't Want aace Steal so if he want
15:34
has to appease them then so that they
15:37
don't leave the government then now
15:38
Netanyahu is all the incentive not to
15:41
make a peace deal not to get the
15:43
hostages back the only thing left is for
15:45
the Israeli people to Rebel so much
15:49
because Netanyahu doesn't care about the
15:52
hostages at all at all right that they
15:56
go okay I mean you're going to drag this
15:58
on for years I get we get it we get it
16:00
you want to stay in power you're a
16:02
maniac lunatic who loves power so much
16:06
you're only to kill and destroy anything
16:08
your path to retain that power so and
16:11
the Israeli people they were very mad at
16:13
him about October 7th they're mad at him
16:14
about a number of things but they are
16:16
not really that mad at him for what he's
16:18
done in Gaza the polling indicates it's
16:20
really depressing that almost no I mean
16:23
the Palestinian Israelis of course think
16:26
that he went too far in Gaza but outside
16:27
of them there's a very low number of
16:30
Israelis who think they went too far in
16:32
Gaza so far so that is a depressing fact
16:35
overall and a big problem in terms of
16:39
how it affects netanyahu's political
16:42
calculation so uh I don't want to leave
16:44
you with a depressing conclusion but I
16:46
have to be honest with you guys and tell
16:47
you what the situation is so the next
16:49
couple of days are really important I'll
16:50

of momentum and Gant also drops out of

the cabinet then maybe a t and then
18:09
anyone we just need we need five more uh
18:15
you know members of the C not of the
18:16
cabinet but of of the parliament uh
18:19
knesset in this case to drop out and if
18:23
five of them drop out then they don't
18:25
have a majority they have to go to
18:26
elections right away but if y's uh
18:31
resignation doesn't create that kind of
18:33
momentum and then we get into a long
18:36
hard slung and they don't take that
18:37
peace
18:39
deal then we're in a world of hurt then
18:41
I have no idea how long this war is
18:43
going to take it'll drag down Joe Biden
18:46
with it he won't win the re win his
18:48
re-election there'll be no chance
18:50
because young people will be furious
18:52
that there's no peace deal all we're
18:54
doing is paying billions and billions of
18:56
dollars to Israel to slaughter as many
18:59
Palestinians as possible no relief in
19:01
sight so if the government doesn't go
19:04
under in the next couple of days or next
19:06
couple of weeks
19:08
Max we're screwed and we're I mean the
19:12
Palestinians are going to be in for one
19:15
of the most brutal existence for months
19:19
and months and months it is absolutely
19:21
heartbreaking so gance has done what he
19:23
can and now it's the rest is up to the
19:26
rest of the Israeli Parliament cabinet
19:28
and electorate please please for the
19:31
sake of Palestinians for the sake of the
19:33
world but also for the sake of Israel do
19:36
the right thing and if you think it
19:38
doesn't matter or if you think the world
19:40

19:45
before this now there's almost no
19:47

19:51
what they've done to Gaza the world
