I'm John Bachelor with Jonathan Schanzer, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy,

testifying to Congress most recently about the challenge to the arsenal of democracy

mentioned prominently by the President and his Oval Office address, picking up the theme

from Franklin Roosevelt at the beginning of the Second War that remade the 20th century.

Here we are in a two front, three front war that may remake the 21st century.

We have reason to believe that the Israeli-ground invasion of Gaza is either postponed or delayed

or halted or taking a break at this moment for hostage negotiation.

That's London, but it's first three reports are wrong.

You never know.

We're going to move to what's in Gaza?

What is Hamas protecting?

We have several hostages who have been released, one of whom is speaking of wet tunnels,

a miles of them underneath Gaza City.

There's more to this, however.

Jonathan, the Hamas gangsters, the killers, are organized in a fashion that they've

withstood bombings and attacks from the air before, 2021.

Your book about Gaza 2021, 2014, the war I attended, where they were throwing mortars

and missiles at Ashkelon, however, they're underground.

What does the IDF need to do?

What is the risk for the IDF and for the civilians above ground?

Thank you.

Sure.
