00:00Okay.

00:01Nadia.

00:03I'm coming up on Gaza again.

00:05You know, the – Caroline just said now, actually, that both the Israelis and – agreed

00:10to it, and they're waiting for –

00:11MS NAUERT- Yes, that's correct.

00:12So this is – when we say this in optimism, it means Israel has agreed – all right,

00:17so we're in a very good position, I think.

00:19Sure.

00:20But as you know, the President said he wants to see an end to this war.

00:24Is this any U.S. guarantee that actually they're going to discuss the end of the war after

00:29the 60-day ceasefire?

00:31Because every time they reach that stop and the war – the ceasefire collapse is because

00:37–

00:38MS NAUERT- Well, the ceasefires don't collapse.

00:39Ceasefires are ignored by Hamas, and they're broken by Hamas.

00:43They don't just collapse under their weight.

00:46Every moment, though, even without a ceasefire and without agreements like this, there's

00:51the constant effort to get this heinous situation to end, and not just for the moment, not for

00:58the 60 days or six months.

01:00That is the hallmark of President Trump's vision.

01:03And what the secretaries worked for, what our special envoys have worked for.

01:08Special envoy Woodcoff could be, just like President Trump, enjoying a very comfortable

01:12life somewhere else.

01:13But these are men and women who've made this kind of commitment.

01:16So I would say that, obviously, the end goal is an end.

01:22But ending the murders, the slaughter, the carnage, and getting people what they need is key.

01:29And that, of course – you can't – it's different – and I think Zelensky had noted this as well,

01:34right?

01:35It's – you can't talk about pieces.

01:37You're being shot at and killed.

01:39I mean, it's – one thing has to be able to lead to the other, otherwise it just doesn't

01:44make sense.

01:45All right.

01:46Lou, I've skipped you often.

01:47Are you on this –

01:48Par –
