00:00How long do you plan to give Hamas a response to the ceasefire proposal you put out?
00:07Well, we're going to do about three or four days. We'll see how it is.
00:10All of the Arab countries are signed up. The Muslim countries are all signed up.
00:16Israel's all signed up. We're just waiting for Hamas.
00:19And Hamas is either going to be doing it or not.
00:22And if it's not, it's going to be a very sad end.
00:25And is there room to negotiate, Mr. President? Is there room to negotiate or is this a take-it-or-leave-the-deal?
00:31Is there room to negotiate with Hamas or is this a take-it-or-leave-the-deal?
00:35You know, with Hamas, we want very simple. We want the hostages back immediately.
00:40And we want some good behavior. And, you know, it's pretty simple.
00:45You don't get similar. Think of it. We've signed every country in the Middle East.
00:50This is like an impossible thing. It's never been done before.
00:53This is more than Gaza. Gaza was big stuff. But this is—Gaza is a piece of it.
00:59And did they reject the deal? You said that Israel has your backing to do whatever they need to do.
01:04What do you envision that looks like?
01:05I would let them go and do what they have to do. They can do it pretty easily.
01:08I would let them go and do what they have to do.
01:10You know, we've killed about 25,000 Hamas.
01:15So, certainly, they've paid a big price for October 7th.
01:19And this is a whole new group. You know, they come in and they come in and they keep coming.
01:23But this is a whole different group.
01:25And their leadership has been killed three different times.
01:29So they've paid a big price.
01:30We hope that they're going to have a nice, calm life.
01:34Maybe it won't happen.
01:35But if it does, it'll be one of the greatest things ever to happen.
01:38And we'll have actual peace in the Middle East.
