00:00Can we come back to the Gaza Foundation just to try to get some clarity on this?
00:06So you're talking about this being the U.S. has endorsed it.
00:09You're praising this creative thinking.
00:12Whose plan is it?
00:14Who is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation?
00:17Well, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is the foundation.
00:19I mean, I refer you to them for more details on their leadership.
00:21Should we call this a U.S. plan?
00:23Is it an Israeli plan?
00:25The U.N. has said they're not going to be involved in it.
00:27So, you know, who do we credit with this creative thinking?
00:31Well, again, as I said earlier, this is an independent plan in terms of making sure that aid reaches the people that need it.
00:37As the secretary said, we endorse this plan in the sense that we want to see creative solutions.
00:41As he also said, if there are better options to get aid in there, we'd like to see those options provided.
00:46But ultimately, again, as he said, our priority here is making sure that aid gets the people that need it in a way where that aid is not stolen by Hamas or other terrorists.
00:55So when you say endorse, it sounds like kind of moral support.
00:58But is the U.S. providing any funding for this?
01:01Like I refer you to the foundation for details on their funding.
01:03But why is that down to the foundation?
01:04I have nothing to preview in terms of this.
01:06I'm asking the State Department if the State Department is providing any funding for this.
01:10Nothing to preview at this time on that front.
01:11So all you're doing is providing endorsement?
01:14Well, look, as the secretary said, again, we welcome this creative solution.
01:18We see the plans moving forward there.
01:20They announced and detailed those yesterday.
01:22If I have my time incorrect on that, refer you to them for more details.
01:26And there's been reports that David Beasley, who's a former World Food Program head, is going to be involved.
01:33Can you speak to that?
01:34Anything about the leadership of this foundation?
01:37Well, when it comes to Dave Beasley, Dave Beasley would be fantastic.
01:42So we're hoping he comes on board as well.
01:44He accepted the Nobel Prize on behalf of the World Food Program when he was leading the organization.
01:48And he's one of the most respected humanitarian leaders in the world.
01:51And sorry, would he lead the humanitarian conversations for the State Department with Israel and Gaza?
01:56Is that the intention here?
01:58Nothing further to preview besides what I just provided at this time.
02:00You're saying it would be good, but you don't have any information on him being involved?
02:04Again, this is the data that we have here in terms of David Beasley would be fantastic.
02:09So we're hoping that he comes on board, but nothing further to add at this time.
