00:00The conflict in Gaza must end. Hamas, which is backed by Iran, started this war. They
00:09wanted not just to kill and murder, but to destabilise the whole region. This weekend,
00:16they rejected the latest hostage deal, which offered a road to a ceasefire. It is Israel's
00:22right and indeed its duty to defeat the threat from Hamas terrorists and defend its security.
00:29And I want to be clear, nothing that has happened over the last 48 hours affects our position
00:35on Gaza. The appalling toll on civilians continues to grow. The hunger, the desperation, the
00:43loss of life on an awful scale. The whole country wants to see an end to the bloodshed
00:49and to see more humanitarian support going in. The recent increase in aid flows is positive,
00:56but it is still not enough. We need to see new crossings open, for longer, to get in
01:01vital supplies.
