00:48 power to urge the terrorist organization to return the innocent hostages to their families.
00:55 This is terrorism, this is evil, there is no justification or rationalization for Hamas's

01:02 Our thoughts are with all those experiencing unfathomable levels of fear and violence and
01:06 we hope for the day when Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace.
