00:00Now, we've done a great deal.
00:02We have about 70 to 75 percent of Gaza under Israeli control, military control.
00:09But we have two remaining strongholds, okay?
00:13These are Gaza City and the central camps in the Muasi.
00:17That's roughly, it's schematically presented here, but it's fairly accurate.
00:21Last Thursday, Israel's cabinet, Israel's security cabinet, instructed the IDF to dismantle
00:27the two remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and the central camps.
00:32Contrary to false claims, this is the best way to end the war and the best way to end
00:37it speedily.
00:39We will do so by first enabling the civilian population to safely leave the combat areas
00:44to designated safe zones.
00:46In these safe zones, they'll be given ample food, water, and medical care, as we've done
00:51before.
00:52And again, contrary to false claims, our policy throughout the war has been to prevent a
00:58humanitarian crisis, while Hamas's policy has been to create it.
01:03Since the beginning of the war, Israel has led in close to two million tons of aid.
01:10I know of no other army that enabled, has enabled such aid to go to the civilian population in
01:16enemy territory.
01:17Now, if we had a starvation policy, no one in Gaza would have survived after two years
01:23of war.
01:24But our policy has been the exact opposite.
01:27We let in, as I said, almost two million tons of aid and sent millions of text messages,
01:33millions of phone calls to Gazans to get out of harm's way.
01:37Yet in the last few months, Hamas has violently looted the aid trucks meant to get to Palestinian
01:44civilians.
01:45They deliberately created a shortage of supply.
01:48And the UN consistently refused, until recently, to distribute the thousands of trucks that we
01:53led into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
01:57So our problem is that we've had tons of collected, uncollected food rotting on the Gazan side
02:02of the border because the UN was and still is unwilling to deliver all of it.
02:08So here are the tons and tons and tons of humanitarian aid that Israel led in to the Gazan side of the
02:17Kerem Shalom crossing, just sitting there, because it's not distributed.
02:22So now we're going to go around this obstacle.
02:25We are going around it by doing three things.
02:28One.
02:29Can I show this, please?
02:30Okay.
02:31Designating safe corridors for humanitarian aid distribution.
02:35No?
02:36That's showing the problem, not showing the solution.
02:40But here it is.
02:41First, designating rather safe corridors for aid distribution.
02:47You can go, you can drive trucks there, and you'll be safe.
02:49Second, increasing the number of safe distribution points managed by the Gazan humanitarian foundations.
02:56And three, airdrops.
02:58That's airdrops done by the Israeli Air Force, and we're inviting others to join us.
03:03The result has been a humanitarian surge, which we're coordinating with President Trump and
03:08his team, and hundreds of trucks have gone in in recent days.
03:12This is preventing hunger.
03:14But it's not prevented the global campaign of lies that we have all witnessed.
03:20So in Gaza, despite Hamas's obstacles, two million people are now getting access to humanitarian aid.
