00:00Thank you Caroline. The Vatican announced earlier today that they would not be joining the Board of Peace initiatives over
00:06concerns that it could potentially compete with the United Nations over handling crisis conflicts. What's the White House's response to
00:13that?
00:14Yeah, look, we saw that. I think it's deeply unfortunate. I don't think that peace should be partisan or political
00:20or controversial. And of course the administration wants all those who were invited to join the Board of Peace to
00:28join. Because again, the Board of Peace is overseeing the reconstruction of a territory that has been plagued with violence,
00:34with bloodshed, with poverty for far too long.
00:38And this president has a very bold and ambitious plan and vision to rebuild and reconstruct Gaza, which is well
00:43underway because of the Board of Peace. This is a legitimate organization where there are tens of member countries from
00:52around the world. And we think that's an unfortunate decision.
