00:14Are his suggestions realistic and achievable? Is it actually possible that Hamas will release the hostages as requested?
00:25Of course, it's possible. Everything is possible if we have the will to go into peaceful negotiations and drop weapons. Israel cannot continue the process of bombardment, indiscriminate bombardment and disproportionate killing of the Palestinian people and starving two million human beings.

02:03Then to go straight forward into the two-state solution, because we have to admit the inevitable. This is not an issue between Israel and Hamas. This is an issue between the occupation and the occupied.
02:15This is affecting the entire Palestinian people, not only Hamas and their groups.
02:19But, Oman, I just...
