00:00As you saw, the Israelis have begun to take operations there, so we think we have a very short window
00:04of time in which a deal could happen.
00:07We don't have months anymore, and we probably have days and maybe a few weeks, so it's a key moment,
00:13an important moment.
00:14And again, our preference, our number one choice, is that this ends through a negotiated summit where Hamas says we're
00:20going to demilitarize,
00:22we're no longer going to pose the threat, we're going to disband, we're going to release every single hostage.
00:26Well, we're going to ask Qatar to continue to do what they've done, and we appreciate very much, and that
00:31is play a constructive role in trying to bring this to an end.
00:34Obviously, they have to decide if they want to do that after last week or not, but we want them
00:37to know that if there's any country in the world that could help end this through a negotiation, it's Qatar,
00:44and we appreciate that.
00:45And if there's a chance to do it, we want to encourage them to do it.
