00:00But Israel has a, excuse me, Israel has an added burden, because Hamas hides and operates
00:07among the civilian population like cowards, under hospitals, daycare centers, and all
00:12the like.
00:13Israel also has a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
00:25This war has taken a greater toll on innocent civilians than all previous wars in Gaza combined.
00:37More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are not Hamas.
00:44Thousands and thousands of innocent women and children, girls and boys, also orphaned.
00:49Nearly 2 million more Palestinians under bombardment or displacement.
00:54Homes destroyed, neighborhoods in rubble, cities in ruin, families without food, water, medicine.
01:00It's heartbreaking.
01:02I've been working nonstop to establish an immediate ceasefire that would last for six weeks to
01:07get all the prisoners released, all the hostages released, to get the hostages home and ease
01:13the intolerable and humanitarian crisis, and built toward an enduring, something more enduring.
01:21The United States has been leading international efforts to get more humanitarian assistance
01:24to Gaza.
01:25Tonight, I'm directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary
01:31peer in the Mediterranean on the coast of Gaza that can receive large shipments carrying food,
01:37with water, medicine, and temporary shelters.
01:40No U.S. boots will be on the ground.
01:43A temporary peer will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting
01:48into Gaza every day.
01:56And Israel must do its part.
02:01Israel must allow more aid in the Gaza and ensure humanitarian workers aren't caught in
02:05the crossfire.
02:07They're announcing they're going to have a crossing in northern Gaza.
02:13They're going to have a crossfire.
02:13Grazie.
