00:00 "We've always said we wouldn't support a major operation in Rafah unless there was a very
00:04 clear plan to look after people and keep them safe and make sure they have the food and
00:08 medicine and shelter they need.
00:09 We haven't seen that plan, so we don't support such action as is being contemplated.
00:15 But the crucial thing is, you know, there is a way of stopping the fighting now, and
00:19 that is for Hamas to accept the offer of a hostage deal, and that would bring the pause
00:25 we so badly need to get the hostages out, to get the aid in, and try and build a ceasefire
00:30 from there which would stop the fighting, stop anyone from going back to fighting.
00:34 That's what we need to happen right now."
