>> israel has a very difficult challenge in gaza. we still have a large number of hostages including at least five american hostages who we believe remain alive and of course the bodies of other americans have yet to be returned and it is not finished off the leadership of hamas. we have the bulk of the war in israel also threatening with a highly capable rocket artillery and mortar force in ground force and so as yaakov points out, israel has a number of challenges on its immediate borders and i think it has to way whether or not it wants to engage in this back and forth with iran or whether it wants to rely on the motors in which it has been operating, which is more covert, going after iranian surrogates and proxies, taking out some of the leaders through high-value target operations in damascus and elsewhere, and i think that is the question netanyahu is going to have to weigh and he's going to have to do it synchronizing his efforts with president biden and the biden administration. >> before i let you leave, yaakov, i have to as
