00:12Well, let me say, just to clarify, that we have not been holding any direct discussions. As you

00:18know, I did say that we're in discussion with the interlocutor to assess the situation and see as

00:23where the discussion has taken us. But indeed, yes, we are quite encouraged by the optimism that

00:30prevails so far. We would like to see a cessation of hostilities and we'd like to see anything that

00:37saves our people's lives. So what's holding this back is maybe last minute hiccups, as I said,

00:43that are manifesting themselves by the lack or the impotence of the American administration

00:49will to reveal a plan to basically address the day after. And Israel's inability to answer big

00:58questions such as the flow of goods and support and the reconstruction material for Gaza and also

01:06who rules Gaza, which remains to be the big question at hand.
