00:00I'll end with this. The Netanyahu government is now talking about how their plan is the, quote, voluntary removal, transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza.
00:14If you read this report and you look at what's happening on the ground, you recognize how cruelly cynical that phrase is.
00:23There is nothing voluntary about wanting to depart when your home is gone, when your agricultural fields are no longer accessible and no longer arable,
00:36when your schools are gone, when all your cultural facilities are gone, when the city of Rafa is reduced to rubble.
00:46And so we, the United States, are complicit in all of this because we're providing lots of taxpayer dollar support to the Netanyahu government to use weapons in Gaza, 2,000 bombs and other weapons.
01:03We have said that that must stop, given what's happening right now in Gaza.
01:08We were critical of the Biden administration for not doing enough, and now the Trump administration is providing the Netanyahu government with a blank check of American taxpayer dollars to fund and support the horrible things that are happening right now in Gaza.
01:24The world must end this, and we will do everything in our power to make that happen.
01:30And now let me turn it over to a good friend and colleague and somebody who is determined both to shine a spotlight on what's happening, but determined also to end the war and bring the hostages home.
01:47Our very last meeting in, our very first public meeting, I should say, in Israel was with the hostage families, many of them.
01:55We met in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.
01:58Their message to us was clear.
02:01That Netanyahu has prioritized his political survival over the survival of our loved ones.
02:07We believe that to be true.
02:09We need to end the war.
02:10The United States needs to do its part to end this war now and to bring the hostages home now.
