00:00Elon, I do understand that this is a sensitive time.

00:04Israel's foreign minister has put some of the blame on leaders and officials abroad,

00:10especially in Europe, saying who surrendered to the Palestinian terrorist propaganda.

00:18You've touched on that there.

00:19You've said that this has been something that's been against the Israelis.

00:25It's been a wider problem.

00:27What do you make of his comments, which come during a week of tense relations between certain countries and Israel?

00:37Yeah, this week we saw really an astonishing diplomatic betrayal by Israel's allies

00:41that have decided to use diplomatic pressure in order to force Israel to accept Hamas remaining in power in Gaza.

00:54or else a sustainable ceasefire is impossible, right?

00:57It's a jihadi regime committed to Israel's destruction.

01:01And if Hamas stays in power, the next war is only a matter of time.

01:05But those politicians have been pressured by the same violent public protests against Israel that we have seen,

01:11the same information warfare that we have seen against Israel that's poisoned public opinion.

01:16They're being affected by exactly the same, by exactly the same trends.

01:21And that is why we've been saying it's so important to stand up to the increasingly deranged allegations being made against Israel,

01:30painting it as evil.
