00:00İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
00:30And everyone was celebrating and joyous about the hostages coming home and the end to this long war that nobody thought was possible.
00:37And Steve and I were panicking, saying, what do we do next?
00:40You know, how do you implement peace?
00:41And as you guys know, peace is a different deal than a business deal because you're changing a mindset.
00:46And in Israel, there was two years of very intense war.
00:48For the people in Gaza, there was more than just two years of war.
00:51They had 20 years of hopelessness being ruled by a terrorist organization.
00:55For the people in the Middle East, their hearts were pulled by this.
00:57And throughout the entire world, it really was weighing on us.
01:00And so we needed to think about, what do we do next?
01:03How do we change the habits?
01:04How do we change the behaviors?
01:05And we really got to work right away.
01:07And the team that Steve thanked, including the White House team and the team, the volunteers, it's really been an incredible effort.
01:14Very entrepreneurial.
01:15And we really did it in the way.
01:16I've been working now with President Trump for 10 years on politics.
01:20And what continues to amaze me is that he always takes a first principles approach and says, what's the most optimal outcome?
01:26Aim for that.
01:27Whereas politicians are always focused on the downside or what could go wrong or how to make it a little bit better.
01:32He always says, aim for the best possible and, you know, do your best to get there.
01:35And if everyone thinks it's impossible, that's even more reason why you should aim for it.
01:39And so really thank you for the leadership and the inspiration for doing this.
01:42And I think you'll see today we've achieved more than thought was possible.
01:46And our ambition is still to go for something, I think, better than most people think is possible as well.
01:51So let's see if these things work.
01:53They never usually work.
01:54Good.
01:55So quickly, I'll go through this.
01:57Two-year war, 90,000 tons of munitions.
02:00There's over 60 million tons of rubble there and tens of thousands of fatalities.
02:05Through the ceasefire, we were able to get to the 20-point plan.
02:08Ceasefire, released of hostages.
02:10Getting the U.N. resolution passed was a huge, huge effort.
02:13Really thanks to Mike Waltz and the whole team there.
02:15They did an incredible job.
02:17And we then, with the help of the U.N., we've worked very, very well with them.
02:21This is why you need a new organization like the Board of Peace to work with the U.N.
02:25I want to thank Tom Fletcher.
02:26Did an incredible job of really getting it going.
02:28We've done historic humanitarian aid.
02:31Going forward, number one thing is going to be security.
02:33Obviously, we've been working very closely with the Israelis to figure out a way through de-escalation.
02:38And the next phase is working with Hamas on demilitarization, which I'll talk about in a second.
02:42But without security, nobody's going to make investments.
02:45Nobody's going to come build there.
02:46We need investments in order to start giving jobs.
02:50We want to take these people.
02:5185% of the aid of Gaza, 85% of the GDP of Gaza has been aid for a long time.
02:56That's not sustainable.
02:57It doesn't give these people dignity.
02:59It doesn't give them hope.
02:59And so we want to use free market economy principles.
03:02A lot of what President Trump spoke about that he's doing in America.
03:05We want to bring the same mindset, the same approach to a place like Gaza to give these people the ability to thrive and have a good life.
03:13Let's see.
03:15So on the aid, I mentioned the U.N.
03:17So now people are talking about famine.
03:19100% of the food needs are met.
03:22And that's been overabundance.
03:24The cost of goods have gone down tremendously.
03:26Over 55,000 trucks have gone in and over 1.4 million pallets.
03:31And it's been the largest humanitarian effort done into a war zone that anyone's been able to tell us about.
03:36This really has been a great joint effort that everyone's been able to do.
03:40And so it's a great thing.
03:42We all just heard from Ali.
03:43We have been so impressed.
03:44Steve and I were speaking to him and the entire committee.
03:47Such bravery of these people to step up.
03:50And we've worked with the Palestinian Authority who's been helping us as well.
03:53But this committee is the first time.
03:55It's a technocratic, apolitical committee.
03:57I really want to thank the Arab partners for helping us select the right people to do this.
04:01And we just need to believe in them and support them.
04:03I put this up here.
04:04It's probably a little too small for me to read.
04:06But this is really important if you saw the mission statement.
04:08So Hamas' mission statement was we need to destroy the state of Israel.
04:12That has not worked well for the people as we've seen.
04:14Their mission statement is we are committed to establishing security, restoring the essential services that form the bedrock of human dignity.
04:21Such electricity, water, health care, and education.
04:26As well as cultivating a society rooted in peace, democracy, and justice.
04:30Operating with the highest standards of integrity, transparency.
04:33So these are the basic things.
04:34Their goal is to have peace and to help their people.
04:36Which is an obvious mission statement for a government.
04:39But actually fairly novel for Gaza.
04:42So we did a master plan.
04:43We brought in, I thank you, Kirgabai, who's one of the most successful real estate developers and brilliant people I know.
04:49He's volunteered to do this not-for-profit.
04:51Really because of his heart he wants to do this.
04:53And we've developed ways to redevelop Gaza.
04:55Gaza, as President Trump's been saying, has amazing potential.
04:58And this is for the people of Gaza.
04:59We've developed it into zones.
05:01In the beginning, we were toying with the idea of saying, let's build a free zone and then we have a Hamas zone.
05:06And then we said, you know what?
05:07Let's just plan for catastrophic success.
05:09Hamas signed a deal to demilitarize.
05:11That is what we are going to enforce.
05:12People ask us what our plan B is.
05:14We do not have a plan B.
05:15We have a plan.
05:16We signed an agreement.
05:17We are all committed to making that agreement work.
05:19There's a master plan.
05:20We'll be doing it in phasing.
05:21In the Middle East, they build cities like this in, you know, two, three million people.
05:25They build this in three years.
05:27And so stuff like this is very doable if we make it happen.
05:31Rothel will start with.
05:32This will show a lot of workforce housing.
05:34We think this could be done in two, three years.
05:35We've already started removing the rubble and doing some of the demolition.
05:39And then New Gaza.
05:40It could be a hope.
05:41It could be a destination, have a lot of industry, and really be a place that the people there
05:45can thrive, have great employment.
05:47Once this starts going, we think there should be 100% full employment and opportunity for
05:50everybody there.
05:52And we have a lot of data on what can be.
05:54But we think that this really gives the Gazan people an opportunity to live their aspirations.
05:58But it all starts with security.
05:59And it all starts with governance.
06:01And it also starts with compliance.
06:03That's all right.
06:04And it's a lot of things.
06:06That's all right.
06:06Well, it's just like this.
06:07I wonder if we can change it.
06:08Let's take a look.
