All right, Alexander, let's do a video on what is happening in the war in Israel and in Gaza.

And the war is now focusing on the south of Gaza.

And horrific, horrific days, early days for the people of Gaza at the beginning of this, I guess

you could say this new campaign, this operation in the South. But you had an interesting statement

from Lloyd Austin the other day who said that Israel is heading towards, I'm paraphrasing what he said, but basically saying that Israel is

heading towards a strategic defeat. If it continues fighting the war in this manner, especially

with regards to the death of civilians in Gaza, well, then Israel is heading towards strategic

defeat. I think he said they may obtain a tactical victory,

but they're going to end up with a strategic defeat. So what do you make of the conflict

after the renewed war after the ceasefire and the comments from the Pentagon chief?

Yes. Yes. I mean, I think I would just make one quick observation. I think

that people have been trying to draw distinctions between North Gaza and South Gaza. My own feeling

is that this campaign, this military campaign that Israel has been conducting, it's always been

envisaged throughout that it would extend to southern Gaza.

It never made any sense to pretend that it was just going to be in northern Gaza.

Now, the key comments are those made by Lloyd Austin and off the record,

and sometimes not so far off the record,

not so far off the record either,

sometimes on the record, by US officials.

They are increasingly dismayed by what is happening. Because of course you can understand if you're Netanyahu

why he wants the war to continue. He's got a political crisis on his hands in Israel itself.

He's under intense criticism for what happened on the 7th of October. People in Israel are very frightened, and they're very angry.
