00:00Thank you, Tommy. Appreciate it. You said you were going to take a few more questions on this.
00:06I'll take two more on this specific topic, broader region for sure, but on this specific one.
00:09So on that one specifically, the previous administration engaged with Palestinian
00:17authority to find a solution for the future governance of Gaza. And that administration
00:22and Trump administration also said Hamas has no place in Gaza's future, a position that is widely
00:30shared by many other countries in the world. How does this action specifically impact Trump
00:38administration's ability to engage with PA? Maybe it doesn't impact it at all. Can you help us
00:45understand that? And were there any heads up given to Arab states about this action? Thank you.
00:51Well, I'm not going to speculate on what it will look like going forward. But what I can say is
00:54that the Biden administration in this biannual review also found them in noncompliance. They
00:59chose not to take certain actions. This is the first report of this biannual review that is under
01:03this current administration. And we decided to take one of a few actions that were available in terms
01:08of once we identified the noncompliance. That is what this indicates. There's nothing further to
01:13read beyond this report except for the report finding noncompliance, as well as saying we are
01:17taking that action in terms of certain restrictions. But I'm not going to speculate for
01:21further beyond that. And the Arab states? I'm not going to preview private diplomatic discussions.
