Dear Robin,
In today's briefing, I clarify all the misconceptions that the media has portrayed about the state of affairs in Gaza and how phase two of the Trump Peace Plan will be implemented. I look at the perpetual failure of Hamas to disarm and how Israel must operate on the other side of the yellow line in Gaza. I then talk about my own personal confidence in the IDF Chief of Staff and what my impressions are of the newly appointed Mossad Chief. Lastly, I explain that Syria remains an active threat and that the country has not stabled nor is it on a path of normalization.
Here is the recording of the briefing from today.
Our next briefing will be Tuesday at 10 AM Eastern time and 5 PM in Israel. You can sign up here for our next briefing if you have not already done so. If you have already registered for the briefings, then you do not need to register again.
Best,
Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi

November 30 - December 6, 2025

PM Netanyahu appointed his military secretary, Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, as the next Mossad director. Gofman is known for his hawkish, initiative-driven doctrine. His term will start in June 2026, after David Barnea completes his five-year term. In a notable 2018 address, he warned of a troubling pattern of IDF generals avoiding employment of ground forces.

Re: WOW, The Media Got It Wrong?
אל המקום אשר...
General Avivi,
The only counter pressure strong enough for Netanyahu to withstand International pressure is to feel he will lose support in the right wing camp that will peril his position. If he is opposed both by the Left and the Right he can't survive as a politician.
He walks a tightrope but now he needs to take a side or else risk being replaced or risk international condemnation.
He needs to be between a rock and a hard place and choose Faith.
The stakes are too dangerous now to give in to Trump's pressure. Trump will understand that Netanyahu can not risk alienating his base the right wing camp. Maybe Trump as well will understand that he too has alienated his Faith based support by aligning with the likes of Qatar and Syria and Saudi Arabia the supporters, defenders and funders of the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension Hamas.
Here is the analysis of another Security Expert Yair Ansbacher.
Mass coverup. Yishai Fleisher interviews Dr. Yair Ansbacher.
He says Netanyahu is not good news for Israel.
Time for Netanyahu to take Accountability for October 7 as well as his policies that empowered Hamas via Qatar.
Here is another common sense analyst.
Rabbi Pesach Wolicki:
Exposed the Plot REVEALED to save Hamas.
Fyi
Please address Media that slanders the Settlers while demolition is played out with facts on the ground with the cruel destruction of Settlement outposts. These outposts are providing security and safety for all the Israeli citizens of Judea and Samaria and throughout the entire Israel. You yourself raise these security concerns of Israelis within reach of our hostile enemies.
Yet, Netanyahu orders evacuation iof 14 illegal outposts, removal of Jewish extremists in West Bank - N12
Here is a much more positive perspective of these so called "Israeli extremists".
MK Limor Sivan Har Melech
*סגנית יו״ר הכנסת, ח״כ לימור סון הר מלך ביקרה אתמול בגבעות הנמצאות בחזית המאבק וכתבה:*
הגעתי לביקור חיזוק בגבעת מבשר שלום בשומרון, בה מתגוררות משפחות ובחורים חלוצי הארץ, ההרס שהיה בגבעה שבוע שעבר ובמקומות נוספים חייב להיפסק, ואנחנו נהיה בכל מקום ונצעק את הדרישה להתיישבות בכל מרחבי יהודה ושומרון.
*ארץ ישראל אומרת תודה, לימור!*
*חדשות הגבעות*
*Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, MK Limor Sivan Har Melech visited the hills that are at the forefront of the struggle yesterday and wrote:*
I arrived for a reinforcement visit to Givat Mevaser Shalom in Samaria, where families and young pioneers of the land live. The destruction that took place on the hill last week and in other places must stop, and we will be everywhere and shout the demand for settlement throughout Judea and Samaria.
*Eretz Israel says thank you, Limor!*
Why Admiral Avivi is there blood libeling of Settlers and even more upsetting why are demolitions authorized by the Government of Israel and even the regional councils? This usually portends a bad deal is in the works as Israel is being pressured to concede.
*בהמשך לתדרוכים אמש על כוונה להרוס 14 גבעות וחוות:*
מאז שעות הבוקר נרשמו האירועים הבאים:
🛑 פשיטת חיילים על גבעת *מבשר שלום* בשומרון ופינוי שכלל ירי רימוני גז כדי להבריח את התושבים שלמדו בכולל במקום שפועל בימי ראשון מדי שבוע.
🛑 פשיטה של שוטרי מג"ב ופינוי *בגבעת גור אריה* סמוך לאדם בבנימין. הקראת שטח צבאי סגור עליו חתם מפקד אוגדת איו"ש קובי הלר לחודש והריסה של המבנים. במקום נכחה ח"כ לימור סון הר מלך שהגיעה לסייר בגבעות.
🛑 לפחות שתי פשיטות על גבעת *מקנה אברהם* במזרח גוש עציון, והצגת צו שטח סגור למשך שנה(!) חתום בידי אלוף פיקוד מרכז אבי בלוט
🛑פשיטה נוספת ודיווח על הרס גם על *גבעת קול מבשר* ליד מכמש בה מתגוררים בחורים
🛑פשיטה של כוחות מג"ב ואנשי המחלקה היהודית בשב"כ על *גבעת צור הראל* בבנימין, בה מתגוררים חמש משפחות עם ילדים. אחד התושבים נעצר על ידי הכוחות.
*חדשות הגבעות*
According to Yair Ansbacher, Smotrich is a political pawn of President Trump and Bibi as a way to hold the expansion of Jewish Settlement until the territory is negotiated away in a Bad Deal.
Is it Happenstance that Smotrich put out the following plan following the destruction of the hilltop Settlements?
*Smotrich Rolls Out 2.7B-Shekel Plan Beyond the Green Line*
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich unveiled a 2.7B-shekel, five-year plan to expand and strengthen communities beyond the Green Line.
* IDF bases, including the Menashe Brigade HQ and two battalion bases, will relocate to Sa-Nur.
* 660M shekels for 17 new communities.
* 338M for 36 outposts under regulation.
* 434M for infrastructure upgrades.
* Funding also covers access roads, security improvements, and public buildings.
* 225M for a new land-registry system to map 60,000 dunams by 2030.

Is this merely a deceitful way to keep the right wing camp supportive of Netanyahu so that his political position isn't threatened by both the right and the left camp while he is negotiating all kinds of deals that actually endangers the security of Israel?
Dr. Yair Ansbacher seems to think so.
