00:00Our message is simple, it's clear, and it's urgent. We need to get the ceasefire
00:08and hostage agreement over the finish line, and we need to do it now.
00:15Time is of the essence. Israel has now accepted that proposal. I heard that directly from Prime
00:20Minister Netanyahu yesterday, and we hope and expect that Hamas will do the same.
00:26That's the critical next step. But once that happens, we also have to complete
00:32the detailed implementation agreements that go along with putting the ceasefire into effect.
00:39And there, it's very important that everyone do what's necessary to bring the flexibility
00:49to the table, to make sure that we can get the implementation agreed, and that the parties to
00:56the ceasefire can make good on the commitments that they've made in the agreement.
01:02The United States does not accept any long-term occupation of Gaza by Israel.
01:08More specifically, the agreement is very clear on the schedule and the locations
01:18of IDF withdrawals from Gaza, and Israel has agreed to that.
