If you were in a leadership position, one of the leading ministers, how would you suggest we deal with that issue? Should we be more forceful? Should we make a deal with the Haredim? How do we solve that issue when it's an economic issue, it's a security issue, like I said, and it doesn't seem like it's on the path to being solved?

There are two issues that must be solved with the ultra-Orthodox.

First and foremost, I would say it's the education.

They don't study enough.

I mean, I understand their concept of Torah studying and keeping themselves as a community, etc.

But they need to have a better education in terms of their people being able to live a normal life in Israel.

And I think they should do more on this one.

Were there things that you saw back then that you saw in the lead up to October 7th? And what did you develop as the IDF chief of staff after that that was supposed to address the problems of Hamas's offensive dreams?

Do you have any regrets about how Israel waged the war?

Uh, basically no, I don't.

Uh, I wish it, it would be, uh, shorter.

Uh, but let us not forget the facts.

Uh, we were brutally attacked and butchered by Hamas, the very same Hamas that we kind of held him responsible for keeping, uh, Gaza Stri- Strip, uh, safe and, and quiet.

I don't have to re- remind you that, you know, close to 20,000 workers were working in Israel prior to this attack.

Uh, everybody blame us for supporting Hamas, for financing it, all those things that you can talk about, and eventually they did what they did.

The United Nations released a report today saying that, uh, Israeli settler violence has reached an all-time high, and the Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid was on this show, my show, uh, this week and said that the situation in the West Bank, what he called Jewish terror, is a, quote, "disgrace for Israel." Why is Prime Minister Netanyahu tolerating this?

Minister Gantz, to actually eliminate the nuclear threat, uh, posed by Iran, to actually, uh, destroy the Natanz facility, the Fordow facility, can Israel do that alone or does it need the United States' firepower, bunker-busting bombs, to- to actually destroy the F- the Fordow facility in particular?

Yes.

Well, uh, obviously, uh, we are very strong and we are very sophisticated.

And I think we have surprised many people around the world, and specifically in Iran, with our capabilities that were built over the last, I would say, two decades probably, that we are following this, uh, issue.

And obviously, I cannot, uh, disclose here all our operational capabilities or plans.

So, I think we have achieved a lot and we can achieve more.

Having said that, I do remember that United States is much stronger than us and it has capabilities that we don't- don't possess, but I'm not in a position to, uh, recommend the pri- the President of the United States what to do.

in terms of, of US support.
