00:00President Trump will be hosting Netanyahu at the White House.

00:05That's happening on Monday.

00:07And you mentioned this to me.

00:08We know Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement

00:14would eventually lead to the war's end.

00:19Could we see Israel and the U.S. change their stance on the agreement?

00:25We could.

00:26You know, the issue with the President Trump administration is that

00:31every day we are hearing something different.

00:35There is what I would call there is no political stability with this administration.

00:41And that's a major issue for those of us who try to analyze the political scenery.

00:48So anything is expected with President Trump.

00:51Now, based on the meeting, as you just mentioned on Monday, we're hoping that President Trump

01:00will push Netanyahu to accept a full and final ceasefire.

01:09You know, the Palestinian people suffered enough already.

01:13And we know numbers and statistics are out.

01:18We know how many Palestinians got killed and murdered during this at least the past two years.

01:27And I think it's time for the Palestinians to live like any other nation, like any other people,

01:38in peace that is based on justice, enjoy their homeland, enjoy their independent country,

01:45and flourish after that.

01:48But we cannot continue to accept the Israeli occupation or military occupation of Palestine and say,

01:57OK, well, let's try to put a small band-aid on a big womb, thinking that this small band-aid is going to cover that big womb.

02:07It's not going to cover that big womb.

02:10And that's why we, the Palestinian people, are looking for a total and comprehensive cessation of hostility against them

02:23and also an independent state where they can live like any other nation in peace

02:30and start building their whole, their future, their educational system, everything, their economy,

02:41everything that any country usually try to achieve as they are rebuilding their nation.
