00:01Go ahead.

00:02I do have a question on education funding for states and local districts.

00:05Thank you very much.

00:06I appreciate it, Caroline.

00:07Two questions for you related to the Prime Minister's visit today.

00:09Number one, there's a report circulating that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation provided

00:13a proposal to the White House to build these so-called humanitarian transit areas inside

00:19and outside of Gaza.

00:20The GHF is insisting it has nothing to do with that proposal.

00:23Can you shed any light on whether the White House has received such a proposal, and if

00:28so, from whom?

00:29I'm unaware if a proposal from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was sent to the White House.

00:33I haven't seen it, but I can ask our National Security Council.

00:36And also a document circulating that the White House is prepared to lift the Foreign Terrorist

00:41Organization designation from HDS, the group of President al-Sharah in Syria.

00:46Can you confirm that that's taking place?

00:48Again, I haven't heard that or I'm not aware of that action taking place.

00:52As you know, we did lift particular sanctions on Syria, but we did leave them on for particular

00:57terrorist groups.

00:58If that has changed, we will, of course, let you know if there's a change in policy.

01:02But I'm unaware of one at this time.

01:03Go ahead.

01:04Me?

01:05Me?

01:06Me?

01:07Me?

01:08Hi, Carol.

01:10You're welcome.

01:11You can go, too.
