way is to fund the government.
00:03
Thank you so much, sir.
00:04
You have a situation now where the
00:06
president says the images coming out of Gaza
00:08
are bad. He's thinking about
00:10
opening food centers there. You have a Republican
00:11
Marjorie Taylor Greene calling it a
00:13
genocide. You have American support
00:16
for Benjamin Netanyahu slipping.
00:18
What do you say? Well, I think
00:19
that I share the president's view. I think
00:21
that you, the humanitarian thing, obviously,
00:24
when you see people hurting
00:25
in a need like that is to want to
00:28
help meet that
00:30
need and alleviate
00:32
that pain. And so I
00:34
think our government and I think other governments
00:36
around the world, other nations, are very interested in
00:38
doing what they can to make sure that people
00:39
who, through no fault of their own,
00:42
are being harmed by
00:44
what's happening there. But you've got to understand
00:46
too that when you've got a terrorist group like
00:48
Hamas operating in that region, they're going to
00:50
intercept and divert a lot of that food aid that's
00:52
going in there. And I think that's the challenge that
00:54
the Israelis have. That's the challenge
00:56
that we have and other nations around the world
00:58
who are trying to step in and help. But I don't
01:00
think, I think all of us
01:02
want to see, obviously,
01:04
a peaceful solution there that gets
01:06
the hostages freed and
01:08
ends the reign and rule
01:10
of Hamas in the region. But
01:12
in the meantime, do everything we can to
01:14
ease the pain
01:15
and the hunger that's afflicting
01:17
so many of the people in that
01:19
region of the world.
