00:00Let's start with your recent direct talks with Hamas.
00:02Can you tell us more about why this meeting took place?
00:06The reason that I met with Hamas like that
00:09is because I'm a big believer in dialogue.
00:12I think that through dialogue, one
00:14gets to understand various people.
00:17And I think the meetings with Hamas gave me some hope.
00:23One, it gave me hope that there would eventually
00:27be an end to something that's not
00:29productive for many countries.
00:32It gave me hope that there would be an opportunity
00:34to rebuild Gaza and that there was some flexibility
00:39on the Hamas side where there wasn't.
00:41So I think I know there's talks going on this week,
00:44but I'm cautiously optimistic about some advances
00:48and especially about some hostages coming out.
