All I can tell you right now is I think
nothing takes away from the importance of,
as I said a moment ago,
getting to the ceasefire, which is manifestly in the interest
of the hostages,
of bringing them home. It's manifestly in the interests of
Palestinians who are suffering terribly every single day,
children, women, men in Gaza who've been caught in this
crossfire of Hamas is making.
We've been working from day one,
not only to.
Try to get to a better place in Gaza,
but also to prevent the conflict from spreading.
Whether it's the north with Lebanon and Hezbollah,
whether it's the Red Sea and with the Houthis,
whether it's Iran, Syria, Iraq,
you name it. And a big key to trying to
make sure that that doesn't happen and that we can
move to a better place is getting the ceasefire.
I'm not going to speculate on what impact any one
event might have on that.
I've learned.
Over many years. Never to really speculate about that,
because we simply don't know.
What I do know is the enduring imperative of getting
the ceasefire.
And what I do know is we'll continue to work
at that every day.
