00:21 Too many, too many of the over 27,000 Palestinians killed in this conflict

00:27 have been innocent civilians and children, including thousands of children.

00:32 We're actively working for peace, security and dignity

00:36 for both the Palestinian people and the Israeli people.

00:39 And I'm working on this day and night.

00:42 The King and I also discussed the situation in Rafa.

00:45 As I said yesterday, our military operation in Rafa,

00:48 the major military operation in Rafa,

00:51 should not proceed without a credible plan,

00:54 a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support

00:57 of more than one million people sheltering there.

01:00 Many people there have been displaced, displaced multiple times,

01:04 fleeing the violence to the north, and now they're packed into Rafa,

01:09 exposed and vulnerable. They need to be protected.

01:13 The situation is already unbearable for over a million people

01:18 who have been pushed into Rafa since the war started.

01:22 We cannot stand by and let this continue.

01:26 We need a lasting ceasefire now. This war must end.

01:32 We must not ignore the situation in the West Bank

01:36 and in the holy sites in Jerusalem.

01:39 Nearly 400 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7th,

01:43 including almost 100 children and over 4,000 injured.

01:48 Continued escalations by extremist settlers in the West Bank

01:52 and Jerusalem's holy sites and the expansion of illegal settlements

01:57 will unleash chaos on the entire region.
