00:00 There is some hope and we must find hope, particularly with the case with Israel and Gaza.
00:06 I think what we desperately need now is an immediate pause,
00:10 because a pause would help us to get the aid in and crucially to get the hostages out.
00:16 And I think then what we need is to try and turn that pause into a sustainable ceasefire
00:21 without a resumption of fighting and destruction.
00:24 Now for that to happen a lot of things would need to change.
00:26 We'd have to see the Hamas leadership come out of Gaza.
00:30 We'd have to see that Hamas were no longer capable of rocket and terror attacks on Israel.
00:35 We'd have to see a Palestinian authority sort of revitalized and ready to go into Gaza.
00:40 But that would be, I think, the basis of the right plan.
00:43 Pause leading to ceasefire, leading eventually to settlement.
00:47 And we've got to hold out the hope that there will be a proper political process ending in a Palestinian state,
00:54 because that is going to be the true answer to bring some stability to this region.
