00:00See, the United Kingdom is going to make its decision. We have no plans to recognize a
00:03Palestinian state. I don't know what it would mean to really recognize a Palestinian state,
00:08given the lack of a functional government there. What the president has made very clear is our
00:12two goals are very simple right now vis-a-vis the situation in Israel and Gaza. Number one,
00:17it's we want to make it so that Hamas cannot attack innocent Israeli civilians ever again,
00:23and we think that has to come through the eradication of Hamas. Second, the president
00:27has been very moved by these terrible images of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, so we want to
00:31make sure that we solve that problem. I think all of us can work on how to solve that problem. Obviously,
00:36it's not an easy problem to solve or it would have already been dealt with, but we share, I think,
00:40that focus and that goal. We may have some disagreements about how exactly to accomplish
00:44that goal, and we'll talk about that today.
