00:00Firstly, if there isn't progress in the conditions, is there any situation in which Australia would revoke its recognition?
00:08And on the Act of Practical Measures themselves, would we be looking to move with, say, the UK and France on things like borders, a capital, sea rights, those kinds of issues?
00:17Look, those are all matters we would want to work with the international community on.
00:22And I think I can safely say that, given how much we've engaged with some of the countries that you've referenced, that we are on very similar mind in terms of ensuring that there is progress on the commitments that you've outlined.
00:36Feel to bring it home.
00:38There's no situation in which we would revoke that recognition now that it's been happening.
00:43Our expectation is the international community will work with all parties to ensure not only that those commitments are adhered to, but there is progress towards two states.
00:54Again, I repeat, there is no sustained peace unless we see a two-state solution.
01:00I think we all know that.
01:02Sorry, Pam.
01:03I don't want to overcomplicate this, but the whole effort to get the Palestinians to decouple from Hamas is obviously going to require cooperation from Tehran.
01:12I mean, Hamas won power in a general election in 06 on the back of disgruntlement over the Iraq war.
01:19They're firmly entrenched there.
01:21Are we being a bit simplistic to say that it's inseparable down there?
01:26I mean, how do you pressure Iran to play its role in this, to back off in that region?
01:31Not at all.
01:32Well, I think that one of the key moments, if you like, when people will look at how we've got to where we are today, will be not just June 10, the statement by the Palestinian Authority, but importantly, the statement by Arab nations, which was very historic.
01:51The meeting convened by France and Saudi Arabia in New York produced very clear and unequivocal statements of opposition to Hamas, of disarming of Hamas, and of Hamas not playing a future role.
02:08Thanks very much.
02:09.
