00:00What do you believe about Hamas and how lasting peace will be achieved?
00:05We know it's a complicated matter, but we'd like you to keep your answer to a minute if you could.
00:09Of course I believe that they should lay down their arms.
00:12I'm proud to be one of the first elected officials in this state who called for a ceasefire.
00:16And calling for a ceasefire means seizing fire.
00:19That means all parties have to cease fire and put down their weapons.
00:22And the reason that we call for that is not only for the end of the genocide, but also an unimpeded access of humanitarian aid.
00:31I, like many New Yorkers, am hopeful that this ceasefire will hold.
00:35I'm hopeful that it is durable. I'm hopeful that it is just.
00:38And for it to be just, we also have to ensure that it addresses the conditions that preceded this.
00:44Conditions like occupation, like the siege, and apartheid.
00:48And that is what I'm hopeful for.
