As Nasrallah threatens escalation, I’ll speak with former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett on THE ROSENBERG REPORT
The full interview airs on TBN on Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. eastern
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Naftali Bennett is an increasingly important and effective voice in the international media.
Over the past few weeks, he has gone head-to-head with some of the most offense and anti-Israel journalists on the planet.
He’s pushed back against their lies and slander.
Exposed their extreme bias.
Even denounced them on live television, saying, “Shame on you!”
On Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. eastern on TBN – the most-watched Christian television network in the United States – I’ll air an exclusive interview with Israel’s former prime minister.
I’ll ask Bennett how he sees the mounting threats facing the Jewish state, what a total and decisive victory for Israel would look like, and how Christians around the world can help.
Both as prime minister and previously in his role as defense minister, Bennett certainly knows how grave are the threats facing the Jewish state.
As a former commander in Sayeret Matkal – Israel’s most elite special forces unit – Bennett has fought Hamas terrorists in Gaza, Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and Fatah terrorists in Judea and Samaria, commonly known around the world as the West Bank.
So, he certainly knows the personal cost of war, having lost close friends in battle and grieved their loss.
As you might imagine, then, it’s going to be a fascinating interview and one you won’t want to miss.
It’s also timely given what a big week it’s been here in Israel and across the region.
Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah just delivered his first major address since the Oct. 7 invasion and massacre in southern Israel, and is threatening to escalate the already intensifying Hezbollah missile and mortar attacks on Israel from the north.
U.S. President Joe Biden is threatening to veto the $14.5 billion emergency military aid package for Israel that just passed in the House of Representatives on Thursday on a bipartisan basis.
Secretary of State Tony Blinken arrived in Israel this morning on his third visit.
Blinken is pushing a “two-state solution” when Hamas is actively pursuing a “Final Solution,” – the complete murder and annihilation of every Israeli Jew and Christian.
The good news is that Israel Defense Forces rescued one Israeli hostage in a daring operation in Gaza, though the number of confirmed hostages has climbed to at least 240.
The IDF has encircled Gaza City and is systematically and successfully destroying Hamas strongholds.
But there has been more bad news, as well.
The UN secretary general says Israel is guilty of war crimes and is calling for a ceasefire – reprehensible and unacceptable behavior, for which he must resign – even as the UN General Assembly passes a resolution condemning Israel and not condemning Hamas.
Russia is saying Israel has no right to self-defense.
Houthi terrorists in Yemen have declared war on Israel and have been firing long-range ballistic missiles at the Jewish state.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is saying that Hamas is not a terrorist organization – they are “liberators,” he insists – and is threatening to declare war on Israel.
I hope you’ll join us Saturday night for my first interview with Naftali Bennett.
You can see it on the TBN cable network.
Or on the TBN app.
Or, when it is over, it will be available to view at www.RosenbergReport.TV.
