01:50By that I mean a civilian administration that doesn't educate its children for terror, doesn't pay terrorists, and doesn't launch terrorist attacks against Israel.
02:00That's what we want to see in Gaza.
02:02So it's neither Hamas nor the PA.
02:05That's our plan.
02:07Given Hamas' refusal to lay down its arms, Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas.
02:15Now, we've done a great deal.
02:17We have about 70 to 75 percent of Gaza under Israeli control, military control.
02:23But we have two remaining strongholds.
02:26Okay?
02:27These are Gaza City and the central camps of the Muasi.
02:31That's roughly, it's schematically presented here, but it's fairly accurate.
02:36Last Thursday, Israel's cabinet, Israel's security cabinet, instructed the IDF to dismantle the two remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and the central camps.
02:47Contrary to false claims, this is the best way to end the war and the best way to end it speedily.
02:53We will do so by first enabling the civilian population to safely leave the combat areas to designated safe zones.
03:01In these safe zones, they'll be given ample food, water and medical care, as we've done before.
03:07And again, contrary to false claims, our policy throughout the war has been to prevent a humanitarian crisis, while Hamas' policy has been to create it.
03:18Since the beginning of the war, Israel has let in close to 2 million tons of aid.
03:23I know of no other army that enabled, has enabled such aid to go to the civilian population in enemy territory.
03:33Now, if we had a starvation policy, no one in Gaza would have survived after two years of war.
03:38But our policy has been the exact opposite.
03:42We let in, as I said, almost 2 million tons of aid and sent millions of text messages, millions of phone calls to Gazans to get out of harm's way.
03:52Yet in the last few months, Hamas has violently looted the aid trucks meant to get to Palestinian civilians.
03:59They deliberately created a shortage of supply, and the UN consistently refused, until recently, to distribute the thousands of trucks that we led into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
04:12So our problem is that we've had tons of collected, uncollected food rotting on the Gazan side of the border because the UN was and still is unwilling to deliver all of it.
04:23Here are the tons and tons and tons of humanitarian aid that Israel led in to the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom crossing, just sitting there, because it's not distributed.
04:37So now we're going to go around this obstacle.
04:40We are going around it by doing three things.
04:43One, can I show this, please?
04:46Okay, designating safe corridors for humanitarian aid distribution.
04:50No, that's showing the problem, not showing the solution, but here it is.
04:56First, designating rather safe corridors for aid distribution.
05:01You can go, you can drive trucks there, and you'll be safe.
05:04Second, increasing the number of safe distribution points managed by the Gazan Humanitarian Foundations.
05:11And three, airdrops.
05:13That's airdrops done by the Israeli Air Force, and we're inviting others to join us.
05:18The result has been a humanitarian surge, which we're coordinating with President Trump and his team, and hundreds of trucks have gone in in recent days.
05:27This is preventing hunger.
05:30But it's not prevented the global campaign of lies that we have all witnessed.
05:35So in Gaza, despite Hamas's obstacles, two million people are now getting access to humanitarian aid.
05:42But I'll tell you who isn't.
05:44The only ones that are being deliberately starved in Gaza are our hostages.
05:52This is Zaviatar David.
05:55Look at his hand, at his arm.
05:59He's being deliberately starved by these Hamas monsters.
06:02And look at the Hamas captor.
06:06Look at the difference.
06:07He's eating, and he's eating well.
06:09The purpose of this news conference is to puncture the lies and spread the truth.
06:16But that distortion has been propelled around the earth.
06:23Today, the Jewish state is being maligned in a similar way.
06:28Everything that I told you could be verified easily, but it hasn't.
06:32And the international press has bought hook, line, and sinker Hamas statistics, Hamas claims, Hamas forgeries, and Hamas photographs.
