00:05after the amount of firepower that's been used, the amount of the number of

00:14still has a presence there in the Gaza Strip. They haven't been completely

00:19defeated have they? Well you see I am not in the habit of attacking my government

00:24abroad but I would say this if I were their government today which evidently

00:32I would have tried to not only hit Hamas badly which they should have been done

00:37but try to create an alternative rule mainly by the Palestinian Authority with

00:44the help of other Arab countries maybe Egypt, the Emirates, Saudis and try to

00:48replace the Hamas leadership because if you don't replace them you stay with

00:53what you see. They were hit badly.
