00:00Okay, France, Germany and the UK have also condemned the blockade, saying it is intolerable.

00:06This is strong criticism.

00:08I know that Israel is calling for its hostages to be back,

00:14but what is your response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis?

00:19Unfortunately, all of this lies in the feet of Hamas, who started this war.

00:24War we didn't want, war we didn't ask for, war we didn't want to fight,

00:27we didn't want to lose all those young people, babies.

00:30We've had this terrible attack, this terrible massacre on us that unleashed the war.

00:35All I say to these countries is that if that would have happened to their country,

00:39I wonder what their reaction would have been.

00:41And if they want to help the Palestinian people,

00:43then perhaps they should take President Trump's advice

00:46and let some of those Gazans into their countries as refugees.

00:51Maybe that would be more helpful to the Palestinian people

00:54than them making declarations that mean nothing.
