There's actually a video now of that quote.

It's not just the reports.

Well, the quote that they had the video of was that we can control the height of the flame.

So he was basically saying, like, we can commit... The quote that originally he said, which was in a closed-door Knesset meeting with Likud party members, where there were, like, three people who were eyewitnesses who came and told him, it was originally reported in the Jerusalem Post, was that he was like, look, anybody...

who wants to thwart the existence of a Palestinian state has to support our plan of propping up Hamas and transferring money to them because this is what gives us a no one to negotiate with certificate.

And then he said, we can control the height of the flame.

Meaning, like, I know what you're thinking.

I'm funding these terrorists right on our southern border.

But, like, don't worry about it.

We can control, you know, the height of the flame.

And then he found out he couldn't on October 7th.

But so they let him off the hook with that.

And people have just kind of heard this laid out.

I mean, it's not like I just say this on podcasts.

There's been major pieces written in the New York Times.

in the Times of Israel, in Haaretz, in the Jerusalem Post, in the Washington Post.

This is all over the place.

And he just goes, no, no, no, no.

We were just trying to get some funding in there for the people.

At this point, anyone believes that Benjamin Netanyahu was motivated by helping the poor people of Gaza rather than by thwarting a Palestinian state.
