Transcript
00:00Secretary – not Secretary, excuse me, spokesperson Tammy Bruce's comments on this.
00:04I have nothing further to add.
00:05Let me take that question back, though, see if we can get a more robust update for you.
00:08Okay.
00:09And –
00:10Do you have one more?
00:11Well, I was going to ask if you also have – on special envoys Whitcoff's travel
00:17and whether there's any update on these alternative options for helping hostages that was referenced
00:25in his statement last week.
00:27Is there an actual plan that is being operationalized?
00:32Does it coincide with his travel there now?
00:33MR.
00:34Well, I wouldn't speak to sensitive discussions of that nature if there was a plan or if there
00:37wasn't a plan in place, given how important these discussions are.
00:41What I can say, as Caroline said again, is that he is having meetings there discussing
00:45next steps for the situation in Gaza.
00:47Amongst the things discussed is the humanitarian situation getting as much food in as possible.
00:51While also the importance of releasing the hostages, of course, that remains a priority.
00:55As the special envoy said, the President talks about – Caroline talks about making sure
00:58we release those hostages and bring them home.
01:00that I don't want to say a lot of sounds for him.
01:01Oki Wednesday night.
01:02How do you see?
01:04I was going to turn down here in the hospital for an 20-minute game, so this is the
01:06phone call here.
01:07You can get people reading the phone call here.
01:09It can be quite easy.
01:10Or, you can read them.
01:11But I don't look at the phone call here.
01:12I don't know.
01:13I don't know.
01:14Yeah, I don't know.
01:15I don't know.
01:16I don't know.
01:17He just has to leave.
01:18We're going to pass that seat here.
01:20I don't know.
