We shouldn't increase that aid. They certainly shouldn't agree to a pause to increase the amount of humanitarian aid going into Gaza.

If the ceasefire goes on, Hamas is going to use that period to lay more booby traps, to move equipment around.

You have Mahmoud Abbas. He is the president for the Palestinian authority. He's in the 18th year of his four-year term, all right? He will not stand for re-election because he knows if he does, he's going to lose to Hamas.

I think the Israeli public will be open to any realistic venue that will change the status quo, perhaps a peaceful resolution.
