Summary

In the days ahead, Minister Dermer will be flying to Washington with a small delegation to meet with the Biden administration about the IDF’s options for Rafah, which we discuss. We also discuss where the overall military operation in Gaza stands now, the hostage negotiations, whether the Israeli Government should be expected to have a day-after plan rolled out now, what role the Arab world can or should play in that day-after planning, and the Government of Canada’s decision to ban future arms sales to Israel.

0:00.0	The Holocaust is not five hundred years ago. It's not. It's in living memory.
0:05.0	You still have survivors of the Holocaust who are walking amongst us.
0:09.0	What you saw on October 7th was a genocidal force that wants to wipe out all the Jews and it's the first
0:15.4	pogrom that we've had since the birth of the state of Israel. And in a fundamental way,
0:20.2	the promise of this country, in my view is not just the Jews return to their ancestral
0:24.4	homeland, it's that we have the ability to defend ourselves.
0:28.8	And in a fundamental way, that promise was broken on October 7th, and I think our job is to restore that
0:35.0	promise and that means utterly dismantling the terror organization of Hamas in

1:36.3	Israel. In the days ahead Minister Dermer will be flying to Washington DC with a small
1:41.7	delegation from Israel's government to meet with the
1:45.3	Biden administration about the IDF's coming operation in Rafa. The Israeli
1:51.1	government has strong views on that coming operation and the administration, the Biden administration has its own views.
2:00.0	In fact, as you've seen in the press, they are trying to head off a military operation in
2:05.1	Rafa and as Ron makes clear in our conversation the IDF is definitely going
2:10.8	into Rafa. We also discuss where the overall military operation stands now.
2:16.0	Overall throughout Gaza from the north to the center of Gaza to the south.
