reporting in progress okay good morning friends yesterday's historic press conference an announcement of President Trump and Netanyahu about the plans for Gaza has shaken the entire world has surprised the whole world who could have possibly imagined that this would be announced from the Oval Office that such an announcement would be made about out the possibility of relocating uh the citizens of Gaza to a different area and to uh to try to develop that area nobody could have imagined such a thing it's uh for the most part being met with great joy on behalf of uh the state of Israel and of course nothing happens in this world uh by chance and actually we have a principle that whatever events that happen in the world are connected to the paraa of the week this is a well-known principle uh a very powerful example of this the says is when the Shas was burnt in the year 1242 in France on a shabas and they they showed the of the time made why this was happening and it was told to them the day of the par cused it the day of the par caused it the so we're this historic announcement where is it alluded to in this week's par par B and sure enough look no further than the opening of B in the opening of B we read about an illusion to this historic announcement and that is let's think about what's happening for for how many decades has the Jewish people had a contend with the Philistines the plishtim with the people of Gaza this has been an area of a disaster for the Jewish people for many many decades and finally yesterday we hear well maybe a way maybe a Salvation for CLA Isel is to circumvent the whole issue and make it someone else's problem where the United States is taking responsibility to develop the area and other countries will take it upon themselves to house and to allow the Gins to live in in their country it's almost a way of circumventing the entire issue alog together it's like a backdoor exit where nobody expected it well this is exactly the opening message of bash and it was when sent forth the people did not want to guide them the road of the land of the Philistines it was too close hasem said maybe the people will have a second thoughts when they see the war in other words like this think about what's happening you know the rush says in his commentary to the that actually the ptim were related to the rush says the Philistines were descendants of Egypt however apparently even though the Jewish people were escaping from Egypt they may be frightened by the Philistines actually there's an idea that the pish PES they are the 50th level of T they are a level of even lower than Egypt so even though the clo survived MIT they thought we would never survive Gaza we would never survive the push and therefore what did Hashem do Hashem said here this is not the right time to take him head on we're going to circumvent the issue all together and Hashem took them a different path why to circumvent Gaza to circumvent the ptim so the opening of this para is that that at certain points in history instead of taking them head on you're better off taking a roundabout way and circum circumventing the issue all together and that's what happened yesterday we're here for for so many months we're in war with uh in Gaza soem says you know sometimes in history you got to circumvent them all together sometimes you have to take a different route make them somebody else's problem you go elsewhere you take a sharp right turn and and that's what we see unfolding before our eyes because if you have to go now that doesn't always work the better root sometimes in order to avoid uh too much hassle isim and Hashem circumvent the issue alt together so that's just a thought in the context of the historic events that are unfolding before our eyes reporting stopped
