00:00There are now reports that Israeli forces are firing on Palestinians trying to get aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation after 20 people, according to the Red Cross, have arrived to the hospital that they've set up with gunshot wounds, have died from them.
00:18Is this administration aware of these? And I mean, what is being done to address this situation?
00:23The administration is aware of those reports, and we are currently looking into the veracity of them because, unfortunately, unlike some in the media, we don't take the word of Hamas with total truth.
00:36We like to look into it when they speak, unlike the BBC, who had multiple headlines.
00:42They wrote, Israeli tank kills 26, Israeli tank kills 21, Israeli gunfire kills 31, Red Cross says 21 people were killed in an aid incident.
00:52And then, oh, wait, they had to correct and take down their entire story, saying we reviewed the footage and couldn't find any evidence of anything.
01:00Oh, OK. So we're going to look into reports before we confirm them from this podium or before we take action.
01:06And I suggest that journalists who actually care about truth do the same to reduce the amount of misinformation that's going around the globe on this front.
01:14Can you talk about the change in the leadership of the organization? What does that mean going forward?
01:18And why, why, why, why so early on is this, is this happening? What organization?
01:22They got a humanitarian foundation.
01:24Well, look, this was a creative idea that the president called for to get aid into the region.
01:30These people were desperate and starving, and the president didn't like seeing imagery of that.
01:34And he wanted to ensure that aid was brought in with the approval of Israel for understandable reasons.
01:40We will never forget the brutal attack on October 7th.
01:43And again, this is something that the previous administration was unwilling to put the time and effort into doing.
01:49John.
01:50Thanks a lot, Carol.
