00:00 Sure. I mean, expanding on that, I mean, the – if I understand right, it's a pause. It's not
00:04 that this has been dutifully ended. I mean, it's a halt in the shipment of these. I mean,
00:10 is there a timeline for when that – are you waiting to see what happens in Rafale
00:14 before making a decision? Is there a timeline? I don't have a time frame to offer you,
00:19 but we have always made clear that our policy determinations are dependent on Israel's policy
00:23 determinations. Sure. And just one more thing. I mean, as you know, they already do have these
00:27 bombs in their arsenal. It's not – these would be the first ones. Is there a message to the
00:32 community of the Israelis that they should not be using these weapons in Rafale or elsewhere?
00:36 I'm not going to speak to anything beyond the current pause of assistance. The one shipment
00:42 that we have currently paused in the review of others, I'm not going to speak to any further
00:45 long-term implications. I think the most important long-term implication is the one I said, which is
00:49 that we are – we do remain committed to Israel's security. We remain committed to Israel's defense.
00:55 But in the context of the unfolding situation in Rafale, it is
00:58 a place where we have very serious concerns, and that's why we take the actions we take.
