Zelensky Is Ready! But.... | On Edge | Gershy Schwarcz

Your daily report of the news of the last 24 hours powered by Yiddish 24 provided to you by the click. Good afternoon. Today is Wednesday and it's December 24th of 2025 on edge. My name is Gish Schwarz and I am pleased to be your host to bring you the latest and breaking news that happened since I was here last on edge. Well, there is open miracles, some tragedies, and well, interesting pieces of news. But there is a piece of funny news for the end. So, if you wait, you will get to hear it not too long. Okay, before we do that, let me first thank you all for those of you who called me and left and still still calling me leaving me messages constantly with letting me know what your preference is, whether you want me to come up early morning or you want to come up in the evening. Well, there's a tie because everyone wants something else. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to lean more towards the morning hours, Eastern Standard Time, about 9:00 a.m. That's when we going to we're going to do this. We're working on that right now. And we will get back to that time again. We were we were reporting 9:00 a.m. But then we will also work on a second segment which I already said several times on this show that I will do and I'm working on it. So, it's going to happen. We're going to have two shows a day as it's going to make it shorter, sweeter, and obviously for those of you who are interested in knowing what's going on in the world. Don't be worried about the news. Always wear the umbrella of let it all rain on you. I'm here to report all what's raining on on you and just and just, you know, whiff it away. Whiff it away. Let it go with the wind. Yeah. And believe in Hashem. Okay. Protobite, thank you so much for being a sponsor, a longtime loyal sponsor. And they do custommade websites and software for your business. Call them on on the number that you see below on the screen. WhatsApp them on this number as well. And for those of you in America who are listening to this, 347 3541237. Okay. A tragedy happened in Pennsylvania today. Two people are dead. Two women are dead. 20 others are injured in an hospital. A massive gas explo explosion destroyed the Silver Lake nursing home in Bristol, Pennsylvania yesterday. The blast was so powerful it collapsed the floors. It trapped residents down in the basement. The most shocking part is that the utility crews were already on the scene. They were checking a reported gas leak right when the building blew up. Rescue teams are digging through the rubble yesterday and right now. They're desperately trying to find five more people who are still missing. What a tragedy. Now, remember yesterday's report on Edge about the army chief of Libya whose plane went missing and then crashed. Well, he died along with the others on board. His plane crashed near the capital of Turkey. Investigators are at the scene trying to find out why the plane went down. It's a major blow to the military leadership there. Okay. Yeah, we don't know who was behind this, but we're not going to know, I guess. In the north of Israel, there's also tension happening right now. The IDF launched a fresh wave of air strikes today against targets in southern and northeastern Lebanon. They're hitting weapon storage sites very hard. This happens as major deadline runs out. We all know the deadline is running out the end of this month. The US ceasefire deal says Kbala must disarm and move north of the Leitani River by the end of the year, which is now 2025. That is only one week away. Defense officials, well, less than a week. Defense officials are warning if the terrorists don't leave voluntarily in the next few days, the IDF is ready to launch a full-scale operation to force them out. Something rare happened in the skies today as well. Reports say that an IDF Nakshon plane flew over the water right outside Beirut. These are special intelligence aircraft. It is the first time one has been spotted there since the war began. Based on yesterday's reporting, the Lebanese army claims they are they are neutral, but the pictures tell a different story. A military funeral was held today in southern Lebanon for Ali Abdullah. We reported it yesterday. He was a Kbala terrorist eliminated by the IDF 2 days ago. The Lebanese army claims he was one of their soldiers, but at the funeral, men in Lebanese army uniforms were seen carrying the yellowbala coffin on their shoulders. It seems the line between the army and the terrorists is obviously gone. Is playing mind games well with that as well. Today, the terrorist released a terrorist group released old footage from exactly 29 years ago. It shows a bomb attack on an IDF unit in southern Lebanon in 1996. Captain Yossi Levy and Sergeant Near Gandelberg. Hashem Yinkandum lost their lives in that attack. The terrorists released the video today to celebrate the anniversary of the tragedy. She the ghost of Ron Arad is haunting Lebanon again. A mysterious disappearance has shaken the security forces in Beirut. Ahmed Shu Ahmed Shuker or Shukre, a retired Lebanese officer, disappeared completely about a week ago. Reports say he was lured to another country and then kidnapped. Lebanese investigators are pointing to the finger directly at the Mossad. Obviously, they believe this is an Israeli operation to get answers about a 39year-old mystery. Shukre Scher, whatever his name is, is not just a random officer. He is linked to the terror networks that captured Israeli navigator Ron Arad in 1986. Arad ejected from his plane over southern Lebanon and was taken by um the Amal terrorists back then. He was never seen again. Intelligence officials believe Shukran knows exactly what happened to Arad after he was captured. Kizbala is furious and is demanding an investigation. Obviously, Israel has refused to comment. Bad news from the south in Gaza. The quiet is over. Israeli officials accused Kamas of violating the seize fire agreement today. The truce from Trump. An explosion hit an IDF vehicle in Rafia in Rafa, wounding an officer. Jerusalem says the terrorist broke the terms of the truce and vowed that Israel will not let this pass. The IDF is now preparing to strike back. The terrorists are trying to to talk their way out of it. Obviously, CNA kamas official Mahmud Mardawi claims they did not attack the troops today. He says the explosion was caused by an old mine that Israelis planted in the ground years ago. He claims they already told the mediators it was an accident. Israel rejected this excuse. This violation destroys the last hope for the stalled negotiations. Talks were already stuck because Kamas refuses to disarm unless Israel promises to end the war permanently. We also learned today how the terrorists kamas kept fighting for so long. How did they do that? Israel confirmed that kamas military wing received tens of millions of dollars in the last year alone. This information came out after the IDF eliminated a key terrorist named Alhai Zakout. Al-Hiakout. He was a top official in the finance department of the kamas military wing. Despite the massive pressure of the war, Zakout managed to raise huge sums of money. He transferred millions directly to the gunman, giving them the means to keep attacking Yidden even while Gaza was being destroyed. Internal fighting in Gaza is getting ugly. Kamas is now kidnapping the wives of rival commanders. Shuki Abu Nazer after Abu Shabbab died, who leads the popular forces militia in East Kunis, confirmed that Kamas terrorists raided his home in Dar Albala. He says they took his wife and ordered his daughter to come in for an interrogation. He says he will keep fighting them kamas even if they kill his entire family. And the militia leader in Rafi is also threatening kamas too. Gasan Alanini is the new commander of the popular forces there after Abushab died. He says kamas broke the rules by touching their wives. He warned them directly. You brought the women into this. There will be consequences. Remember this well. He ended. Political drama is brewing in Jerusalem. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is quietly preparing for the possibility of early elections. Reports say he instructed his adviser to be ready for a vote next June. That is 4 months earlier than required by law. This contradicts what Natao is telling the public. He keeps saying the government is stable and the budget will pass without issues. But behind closed doors, the growing tension in his coalition is forcing him to make a backup plan. In other news, if you heard yesterday's on edge report, you already heard about the deal between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus, right? The president of Turkey is furious again. President Erdogan, the dictator, attacked the recent meeting between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus. He warned that no matter what agreement they signed, Turkey will not change its policy in the Mediterranean Sea. He insisted that he will not allow anyone to take Turkeykey's rights away. Then, he turned his anger against the Israeli state. He said Israel has no moral standing because of the war. He accused the IDF of killing 70,000 Palestinians, didn't differentiate between combatants and civilians, and called the Israeli meeting empty noise. Erdogan is talking tough, but the pipeline deal is flowing right past him. Let's talk about Australia. Shocking details are coming out of Australia. Remember the Bondai Beach terrorist attack that killed 15 Kadoshim, including a 10-year-old child. I keep on saying this because it breaks my heart. Terrible tragedy, but also opism happened. We reported it yesterday. The Bondai Beach terrorist Sajjid Akram owned a legal arsenal of six rifles and guns. He applied for a gun license back in the year 2000. It took him 3 years to get approved. Even though it usually takes a few weeks, but the delay was not because of safety. Australian officials admit the long wait was just a bureaucratic error, not a security check. The system failed to flag the danger and eventually they handed him the license anyway, which is the license to kill. While Trump is fighting to eliminate ISIS leaders and cells abroad, al-Qaeda's leader just issued a global call for attacks on Jews and Americans, he openly praised terror and urged followers worldwide to kill wherever possible. Radical Islam is a threat to humanity. But us as yeden, we know they can threaten all they want. The shau, remember the song. Sing it to yourselves. Remind yourselves who actually runs the world. We're not going anywhere. Okay. As you already heard here on edge yesterday, the crazy story that shook the English Jewish community, which calls for a clear hagimal. I would say open miracles. Three Islamic terrorists are going to prison for one of the darkest plots we have ever seen in the UK's history. They pl they planned a mass slaughter of Yidden in Manchester using machine guns. They wanted to kill children, the elderly, and everyone. They even said that killing children would be okay because even if they're innocent, they will go straight to heaven. But they never fired a single shot because they were walking into a trap set by police from day one. See that? Much an open miracle. Here is how it went down. The ring leader, the main guy, Wid Saddawi, thought he was building a terror cell right there in Manchester. He found a man online who he believed was a fellow extremist. He trusted this man. He told him everything. He told him he wanted to import AK-47 assault rifles to kill Jews at shors, schools, synagogues, and supermarkets, and even a march that he knew that was happening because he said he opened up many fake Facebook accounts to connect to local Jews in the communities and find out their schedules to know when to strike. But the man he was talking to was not a terrorist. He was an undercover police officer known only as Farooq. For months, Farooq played the role perfectly. He let Sadawi believe he could smuggle militarygrade weapons into the country from France. They even traveled together to the white cliffs of Dova to watch the port security thinking they were planning the delivery route. Sadawi used code words calling the guns, the rifles, goldfinches, and the bullets bird seed. The trap snapped shut on May 8th at a hotel parking lot in Bolton. Sadawi went there to meet a contact and pick up the weapons. He opened the trunk of the car and saw what he thought were real machine guns. He reached in to take them. Then is when the doors flew open. Armed police officers swarmed the car and threw him to the ground. The guns were deactivated props. The whole delivery was a stage show designed to catch him red-handed. Police also arrested his partner Amar Hussein, a former soldier who was ready to be the muscle for the attack. They also convicted Sadawi's brother Bel who knew about the plan and held £70,000 in cash, English currency, to support the family after the attack. The jury at Preston Crown Court saw all the evidence yesterday. They heard the recordings where Sadawi said he wanted to kill young, old, and women. And any Christian victims would just be a bonus. They are now off the streets for good. Hashem look what an open miracle we have to thank Hashem Benal I would say three terrorists in Toronto face nearly 80 charges after a plot police say targeted women and children and yen in in Canada and Toronto officers say the group tried to kidnap victims off the street twice this year on May 31st. Three armed men tried to force a woman into a vehicle in Toronto. A driver stopped to help and the suspects fled. On June 24th, men in Bellaclavas jumped out of an Audi SUV in Missaga. They tried to lure two women, then chased them. The victims escaped when a passer by intervened. Police raided the suspect's homes and found guns, including AR style rifles. One suspect, Wed Khan, faces separate terrorism charges. Police say he plotted murder for ISIS, the Islamic State, and sent them crypto. He is also accused of conspiring with an Alah Karim. Now, the part that has people angry. One suspect, Osman Azizov, was released on bail on Friday. He faces 19 charges for kidnapping, assault, and weapons. The main suspect, Khn, was already on probation for violent crimes when he was arrested. Sorry. Cija warns that this grave that this is a grave danger, a threat to the Jewish Canadians. They say Canada cannot afford a lack of urgency. Is Zilinski ready to make a deal? Well, the war in Europe might be ending. President Zalinski is asking for an urgent direct meeting with President Trump. He says their teams have made huge progress on the administration's new 20 point, well, it's up to a 20 point right now, 20 point peace plan. Now, he wants to sit down with Trump to finalize the deal. The plan would freeze the battle, the battle lines, and end active combat. Zilinsky even offered a major concession today. He stated he was willing to withdraw his troops from the eastern front, but only if Russia pulls back as well to create a demilitarized zone. This is a shift from his previous demand to just hold the line. However, Russia is still demanding that Ukraine leave the entire Donetsk region completely. If this deal goes through, it changes everything. Panic in the Russian capital. Two police officers were killed today by a suicide bomber. It happened right near the spot where a top general was eliminated just two two days ago. The officers approached a suspicious man and he detonated and exploded himself, killing himself and them together. Russia claims Ukraine is also behind the assassination of General Fanil Sv Svarov earlier this week. We reported it here on edge. It seems the war is moving deep into the streets of Moscow. Well, let's see if Zalinsky is really serious about ending this war. Maybe something will move and maybe in that case the dictator from Russia will also end the war. agree to end the war at least like we we I had a conversation here on spin the edge with Shragi Stern who we both do we we were speaking very deeply about like we were we were going very deeply into the idea the whole idea of whether who is at full who is stopping the war from ending we came to a conclusion that really we don't know but a dictator will never end the war like Putin will never end the war he doesn't care but Zilinsky has a chance maybe tension ran high at the UN security council today The United States and Iran and Iran, sorry, Iran, Iran, exchanged sharp words over the nuclear deal. President Trump's representative Morgan Otus laid down the law. She said, "America is ready for formal talks, but only if the regime is serious." She made one condition, one very clear condition. There can be absolutely no uranium enrichment in Iran. The Iranian ambassador pushed back. He complained that Washington is not being fair and said demanding zero enrichment is a non-starter.

Okay, let's continue, shall we? A federal judge just handed a big win to New York State. The court rejected a request to block the green light law. This is the law that allows illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants, to get driver's license. The Justice Department sued months ago, arguing that the state law attacks federal authority, but judge one of the the judge Nardaki, whatever his name is, throughout the case. The judge ruled that the Trump administration failed to prove that the law conflicts with federal rules or discriminates against the government. New York is handing out licenses, illegal, and the Feds just hit a red light. America's shutting the door on Europe's speech police. Listen to this. The State Department is imposing a visa ban on five European officials as announced by the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The reason is censorship. Rubio says these officials are forcing American social media companies to block views that Europe dislikes. He called their actions extreme censorship. Europe is furious about the ban. French President Emanuel Mcron, the one who got a slap in his face, remember that, condemned the move, saying America's using force against their officials. President Trump and Chicago. President Trump just hit a wall in Chicago. The Supreme Court issued an emergency order today blocking him from deploying the National Guard. The president wanted to send troops into the city to help arrest illegal immigrants, but the judges said no. They ruled that the operation cannot move forward while the legal battle with state governors is still going on. This is a major defeat for the administration's plan to enforce im immigration laws inside American cities. Speaking of which, we all know that there is a severe, well, a very big case, an investigation going on right now in Minnesota, and Tim Waltz is in trouble because of the fraud, the massive fraud case of millions of dollars stolen by the Somalian, I would say, asylum seekers, immigrants, including Ilan Omar, who is in trouble. A Delaware state trooper died a hero on Tuesday after a shooting attack at the DMV. The trooper was working at the front desk in Wilmington when a gunman, a gunman, walked in and shot him. The injured trooper pushed a worker out of the way to save them before the gunman shot him a second time. He died later at the hospital. Sadly, another officer shot and killed the 44year-old attacker. State officials called the trooper's actions an act of pure heroism that stopped a worse tragedy. A small plane lands itself safely with the autoland system in first use in emergency situations. Listen to this. A small beachcraft uh I think it's a Beachcraft King airplane safely performed the first ever emergency landing using Garmin's Autoland system activating automatically after a rapid loss of cabin pressure near Denver, Colorado on December 20th 2 days ago with two people on board who walked away unharmed proving the systems capability in the real world scenario. the autoland system designed for pilot in incapacitation. If if let's say for pilot becomes, you know, unavailable, they have a little button there and the system finds the nearest suitable airport. Well, in that case, Rocky Mountain Metrop Metropolitan Airport and lands the aircraft while communicating with air traffic control, making sure that they can successfully land successfully land the plane safely and save the people on board. What an amazing technology this is. It actually was a first shown to um I think CBS in 2019. We hope it comes to every single airplane in existence. What an amazing technology this is. Save lives. Okay, today's facts brought to you by the click. Wait until the very end for the funny story that I promised I'm going to I'm going to tell you. Today's y site is of multin from tates the roof of Elizabeth New Jersey from 1908 till 1995 that's when he passed away today dalat tyus also the y today is of khal fromlam he was he he he was na in 1872 and zev from bayalisto was nifted in 1729 on dalatus this is today is the yard site may all the namas have an aliyah and again I want to remind you it's after the kadoshim from the Bundai beach attack and also the people that are in hospital that need our Phillis. Please remember them. Do something kind in their names. The ones who died alashm remember what also a very important thing that I heard on Shabas that our job is not to be not to be apologetic. Stop being apologetic. Be proud of who you are. Proud of you of being Jewish. That's that's what saves lives. Proud of being Jewish. Don't try to intimidate. Don't try to become intimidated and and convince them, oh, we're kind people, we're good people. You don't have to tell them anything. Just be proud of who you are and do the things proudly. This is Kabad's message and obviously it happened right there. So, what did they do a day later? They lit Monurus and they put onto Fillain and they did so much more kindness, spread more kindness around the world, Dava, in light of this terrible tragedy. Remember the report about the man in Ghana on edge a while ago I reported here about a person who believes a flood is coming a marble is coming at the end of this month end of December he even built a wooden boat I wouldn't call it a a ty but he called it yes he built a tyver exactly according to the measurements he believes that he got a na that hashem spoke to him and told him exactly how to build it and where to find the materials now his followers are actually acting on it. Crowds are traveling from Benin tonight. Well, just to grab a spot in the IO Noyak's arc. He calls himself He calls himself Ibon Noah. But we know this will not happen because Hashem clearly says in the past and there will and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth. And with that, my friends, nothing can destroy the earth. You know what can protect the earth? You and the Torah that you learn. And with that, my friends, stay informed and stay on edge. And we will see you tomorrow. And like I said, thank you all for calling me and giving me the idea of the times of when you prefer I come on.
